This book is built on one main idea: We need new strategy tools for the future. Most of today’s strategytools are insufficent to explain many of our times most successfull companies. The next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, risk takers and pirates need new tools to master strategic innovation. They need new tools to make strategic innovation happen.

In this book we introduce 32 strategy, innovation and management tools. Tools for the future.

Some of these are:

• Innovation Thinking Modes
• Pirate thinking
• The Innovation Pyramid
• Action Roadmap
• Whole Brain Model
• The Innovator’s DNA
• Blue Ocean Strategy
• The 3-boxes
• Future-back Migration Mapping
• Three Levels of Business Models
• 30/30-rule
• Change Stairs

Some of these are developed by us, others by leading thinkers, authors and researchers from across the globe. But unlike most books, we skip the fluff. We keep words to a minimum. Instead, we use pictures. We use illustrations. We hope you will love it.

This is a book about the future. The future of strategy and innovation.

It is a book about how we can create better strategy tools for the future. Tools that are fit for the realities of more speed, more change and more innovation.

In today’s business schools, SWOT, Porter’s Five-forces, PESTEL are still taught as primary strategy tools.

We aim to change this.

Our journey is far from finished. Rather, we see this book as reporting live from the frontlines of new thinking on innovation, strategy, management and change as we go. This is step one. We have an adventurous and exciting journey ahead of us.

But we are not alone. A global network of management innovators, business model thinker and innovation heroes are pushing the limits of strategic thinking and creating the future.

Our aspirations are to gather, create and organize the strategy, innovation and management tools for the next generation of entrepreneurs, risk takers and pirates.

We want to build the toolkit today to help the leaders of tomorrow create the future – starting today. On this site and in our Facebook group you can follow, comment and contribute to the work as we progress.
