Summary

The long-awaited follow-up to the international bestsellers, Business Model Generation and Value Proposition Design

Alex Osterwalder and Yves Pigneurs' Business Model Canvas changed the way the world creates and plans new business models。 It has been used by corporations and startups and consultants around the world and is taught in hundreds of universities。 After years of researching how the world's best companies develop, test, and scale new business models, the authors have produced their definitive work。 The Invincible Company explains what every organization can learn from the business models of the world's most exciting companies。

The book explains how companies such as Amazon, IKEA, Airbnb, Microsoft, and Logitech, have been able to create immensely successful businesses and disrupt entire industries。 At the core of these successes are not just great products and services, but profitable, innovative business models--and the ability to improve existing business models while consistently launching new ones。

The Invincible Company presents practical new tools for measuring, managing, and accelerating innovation, and strategies for reducing risk when launching new business models。 Serving as a blueprint for your growth strategy, The Invincible Company explains how to constantly stay ahead of your competition。

In-depth chapters explain how to create new growth engines, change how products and services are created and delivered, extract maximum profit from each type of business model, and much more。 New tools--such as the Business Model Portfolio Map, Innovation Metrics, Innovation Strategy Framework, and the Culture Map--enable readers to understand how to design invincible companies。

The Invincible Company:

● Helps large and small companies build their growth strategy and manage their core simultaneously

● Explains the world's best modern and historic business models

● Provides tools to assess your business model, innovation readiness, and all of your innovation projects

Presented in striking 4-color, and packed with practical visuals and tools, The Invincible Company is a must-have book for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovation professionals。

This is a Must readThese book alongside the rest of the Strategyzer series should be in the must read list of every business school

Tuomas Silverang

Nice approach and cases, as always from Osterwalder。 Great addition to the business design toolkit。 Not _that_ much new content, if you're already familiar with the previous Strategyzer books。 Nice approach and cases, as always from Osterwalder。 Great addition to the business design toolkit。 Not _that_ much new content, if you're already familiar with the previous Strategyzer books。 。。。more

A pillar for each and every business man!

If you accept the visual design (not for everyone) and the many examples of large multinationals this book really is the next step after business model generation。 It perfectly combines business model design, value prop design, experiment design and culture design。

I don't think a book was the right format for this content。 But the content itself was interesting, especially the case studies。 I don't think a book was the right format for this content。 But the content itself was interesting, especially the case studies。 。。。more

Good ideas but not the best book that Strategyzer ever published。 It's still worth the read though。 Good ideas but not the best book that Strategyzer ever published。 It's still worth the read though。 。。。more

Fantastic book, I got a lot of inspiration to manage the product portfolio and shift the current business model from this book。

Ignacio

Fun to read, simple and powerful content。 Great reference books with plenty of actionable concepts。

Greg Hopper

Good book! Not one to sit down and read cover to cover, but more as a reference, once skimmed, to go back to when engaged in specific projects。 I think that the best audience for this book would be innovators inside established companies and the executives who manage such projects。 It integrates well with the other three Strategyzer books。 It seems to borrow some principles from Christensen; from Dual Transformation and Lead and Disrupt。

Michael Jareo

Great book - I loved the practical examples and tools and the balanced and realistic view that to be truly great, you have to get the right balance of skills, leadership, tools, and dedicated resources to both exploring new things while executing with excellence on those parts of the organization that keep the engine running。 Highly recommended!

Great practical book for innovation。 Wished I had this a couple years ago when managing a portfolio of startups。 But in this book you get what’s needed to manage a portfolio of innovation within a company。 Many things might not apply in Panama but eventually will (2-3 years from now)。 Knowing these tools and adapt them locally (but to be ready to use them as they are when the time comes) will make a huge difference。

Why your business needs this book。。。I bought the paperback。 There are many reasons I like this book。。。it's way different from your average business how-to or management book。 Here's why you probably need it:1。 Your business needs to reinvent itself。 Now。Let’s face it。 COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it。 There is no better time for this book。 It’s about how a business that constantly reinvents itself becomes invincible。This is playing out now。 We will see many businesses fail…this is so Why your business needs this book。。。I bought the paperback。 There are many reasons I like this book。。。it's way different from your average business how-to or management book。 Here's why you probably need it:1。 Your business needs to reinvent itself。 Now。Let’s face it。 COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it。 There is no better time for this book。 It’s about how a business that constantly reinvents itself becomes invincible。This is playing out now。 We will see many businesses fail…this is something like a $30 investment。 Well worth it IMO。2。 This book will make you the smartest person in the room。Often in business meetings, a CEO says something like, “How does Amazon do it?” Well, in this book, there are case studies of just about every company your leaders are going to ask about。 I flipped to the index and found a ton of references to Amazon, for example。 There’s even a whole timeline on them。 Amazing。I can’t wait for the next time someone asks me “how does X do it?”!3。 There’s a plan to follow。Page xii has a plan for how you should read the book based on whether you’re a senior leader, innovation/team leader, or entrepreneur。 I followed the entrepreneur path…A) Explore Map (p。 18)- this lets you test ideas for potential and risk。 Wish I had a tool like this ages ago。 At first, it may seem a bit overwhelming but they include an example of how Bosch used the map。 They use it to weed out about 90% of ideas that won’t scale。 Imagine having that kind of tool for your business。B) Pattern Library (p。 130) - 9 different kinds of business models you could apply。 Again, you are going to look super smart。C) Entrepreneurial and team (p。 310) - tells you how to build your team based on your situation。 There's a culture map too。4。 The entire book is visual。Lots of images, illustrations, photos。 It’s a gorgeous book, actually。 You know how many business books can be full of text and super dry? This is not that。 I will happily keep it on my desk in view。5。 The pattern library is worth the price of the book alone。This is where you can see how the world’s most successful companies (Tesla, Microsoft, etc) created opportunity or disrupted others。There's a ton of value in this book。 Well done。 。。。more

A new dawn in exploring and exploiting business models and after the trilogy by strategyzer this 4th book hits the mark of being pragmatic, thoughtful, rich in thinking yet simple to read on many levels。 Still need to dig deeper but I think this book will be my new swiss army knife of business model innovation for the 21st Century。 Thanks to Alex Osterwalder, Yves Pigneur, Alan Smith and the full team at Strategyzer for sharing your insights so skillfully。
