Brick by Brick takes you inside the LEGO you've never seen. By following the teams that are inventing some of the world's best-loved toys, it spotlights the company's disciplined approach to harnessing creativity and recounts one of the most remarkable business transformations in recent memory.
Brick by Brick reveals how LEGO failed to keep pace with the revolutionary changes in kids' lives and began sliding into irrelevance. When the company's leaders implemented some of the business world's most widely espoused prescriptions for boosting innovation, they ironically pushed the iconic toymaker to the brink of bankruptcy. The company's near-collapse shows that what works in theory can fail spectacularly in the brutally competitive global economy.
It took a new LEGO management team – faced with the growing rage for electronic toys, few barriers to entry, and ultra-demanding consumers (ten-year old boys) – to reinvent the innovation rule book and transform LEGO into one of the world's most profitable, fastest-growing companies.
Along the way, Brick by Brick reveals how LEGO:
- Became truly customer-driven by co-creating with kids as well as its passionate adult fans
- Looked beyond products and learned to leverage a full-spectrum approach to innovation
- Opened its innovation process by using both the "wisdom of crowds" and the expertise of elite cliques
- Discovered uncontested, "blue ocean" markets, even as it thrived in brutally competitive red oceans
- Gave its world-class design teams enough space to create and direction to deliver
built a culture where profitable innovation flourishes
Sometimes radical yet always applicable, Brick by Brick abounds with real-world lessons for unleashing breakthrough innovation in your organization, just like LEGO. Whether you're a senior executive looking to make your company grow, an entrepreneur building a startup from scratch, or a fan who wants to instill some of that LEGO magic in your career, you'll learn how to build your own innovation advantage, brick by brick.
病来如山倒,病去如抽丝。当无形的疼痛从脚底如波浪般不停歇的传递到手指上时,似乎只有呻吟才能减轻点痛楚。人的疾病袭来总是突如其来,表象掩盖不了实质。 就如乐高2002年如日中天时,其四面出击,似乎能掌控儿童玩具的未来。特别当乐高以7条创新法则信心百倍的四处开花时,...
评分可读性一般,乐高的浴火重生 现实中能借鉴的地方较少。作者的思路也比较散,用创新七法则做整本书的逻辑框架本身就没什么逻辑,因为作者自己也说了“任何真理都不能独自存在”,那么你怎么能单拿出一个成功案例来说某一条的优劣呢? 适合现有业务成熟但想开拓新市场的情况拿...
评分我们都知道乐高,虽然未必都玩过。乐高除了很贵的积木套装(其实在欧美没那么贵,在国内的售价至少是美国售价的两倍,中国市场仍以礼品用为主),还有一年几万块的课程,也有票房不错、老少咸宜的合家欢大电影。 除了自有的城市系列、朋友系列、忍者系列、生化战士系列等,乐高...
