Description
Common wisdom says that success breeds success, and indeed this is how most VCs pick startups, businesses select talent, and singles search for dates. In contrast, the evidence from science to startups shows that only repeated failure breeds success.
In Disruption Games, futurist Trond Arne Undheim reveals how companies (and individuals) can build a successful, multi-faceted innovation portfolio and may experience deep learning from failed initiatives.
Over the next few years, successfully managing failure will become a necessary growth strategy for any individual, firm or collective. Are you prepared?
Disruption Games fulfills the need for actionable insight on what's truly driving change and how to become a change-maker, not just be affected by it.
Trond Arne Undheim is a futurist, speaker, entrepreneur and former director of MIT Startup Exchange, based outside of Boston. He is the CEO and cofounder of Yegii, a search engine for industry professionals, providing collective intelligence.
He holds a PhD on the future of work and artificial intelligence and cognition. He has accelerated four unicorns and helped launch over 50 startups. A former MIT Sloan School of Management Senior Lecturer, WPP and Oracle executive and EU National Expert, he writes for Fortune and Cognoscenti, and has been featured in print media and television. His next book will be on the future of technology.

This book right here is the permission anyone needs to fail. I love how the author by using case studies and examples, highlights that innovation is not a one moment finding but something that involves repetitive processes refined over time.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC. Anyone interested in start ups would enjoy reading this book and learn a thing or two as well.
Jody H, Reviewer
Fantastic read during quarantine. We are in disruptive times, and who knows what the world looks like when we come out of this? We are all facing so much uncertainty, and the story changes hour by hour, never consistently. What is considered 'normal' changes too, and how you think about things determines how you feel, and how you feel determines how you act. Actions create consequences and outcomes. How do you think, feel, and act in a world that hardly resembles what we had when we went into this?
Now, more than ever, we need to think outside the box. The world has changed, there is no going back to before COVID, so why would we continue to work and think the same way?
How do you think in a new way? How do you challenge the status quo? How do you create real change, and inspire people to change with you?
Read this, build your brain, and be ready for the new world.
