Description
***BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 SHORTLISTED TITLE***
Disruption is everywhere: it presents both great opportunities and significant threats.
Do you know how to shape your strategy to respond?
What if you had a game plan to navigate disruption?
The Disruption Game Plan presents a tried and tested framework to help senior leaders think differently about disruptive trends and emergent risks, and to act differently when making decisions, joining up thinking on innovation, risk, sustainability and strategy.
By revealing how we can more effectively deal with challenging business environments, this book will help any curious and ambitious senior leader to go beyond a short-term, fire-fighting response, and instead set out to ‘change the game’.
Ruth Murray-Webster is a consultant and expert in risk and organizational change. A former head of the Risk in the Boardroom practice for a major consultancy with extensive senior practitioner experience, Ruth now works with a wide range of public, private and third sector clients through her consultancy Potentiality UK to unlock the potential performance from uncertainty and change.
Eleanor Winton is a consultant and expert in disruption, innovation and foresight and the former head of the Future Institute for a major consultancy. She has extensive experience of working with senior teams to stimulate creative thought and action. Through her consultancy Foresightfully, Eleanor works with organizations to understand what the future might hold for them and to develop innovative strategies in response.
I had a chance to read ARC of this book and it has some thought provoking moments when you start working on your company’s Disruption Game Plan. This plan is a framework that guides any company leader to create a new way to engage teams in innovation, support move outside comfort zone and drive team’s engagement in creativity and disruption. There are different stories that support suggested concepts and it is easy to read through. Important of all is the encouragement to put the knowledge into action.

This is a powerful book – do not underestimate how much it will challenge the strategic thinking you might have on disruption, innovation and risk which can make it feel hard at first. But like most approaches that will lead to useful and tangible change, if you stick with it, you will reap the benefits. It’s packed with practical and detailed guidance and stories, illustrating how to make the Game Plan work for you and your organisation
