Sustained Innovation

sustained Innovation

“We are in the Era of Innovation, brought about by tectonic shifts in the global marketplace and by the staggering needs of millions of the world’s people. In his usual fashion, Faisal Hoque presents this highly readable and thought-provoking book to take us on an international tour of the corporations, governments and social enterprises like our Grameen, that are organizing in new ways to transform the 21st Century. By marrying the power of technology and business, there is very little we can’t accomplish. Sustained Innovation shows where and how this is happening and inspires us to join in this new era.”

Professor Muhammad Yunus
Founder of Grameen Bank
Father of Microcredit
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate 2006

Sustained Innovation provides an intellectual framework which skillfully pulls together dozens of examples of innovation from around the world ranging from the design of healthcare management systems to the microcredit project of Professor Yunus in Bangladesh, the recent winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.”

Sir Paul Judge
Vice Chairman, American Management Association
Chairman of the Royal Society of Arts
and of Schroder Income Growth Fund plc.

“An insightful, well written book on innovation. The authors have done well to capture stories of innovation across the board—from Fortune 500 to Social Enterprises. The book is rich in ideas that highlight how to leverage technology to create sustainability in business or in doing good.”

–Dr. Leslie Willcocks
Professor of Technology Work and Globalization
London School of Economics

Winning The 3-Legged Race

Winning the 3-Legged Race "If you want a book that is focused on the alignment between IT and business, look no further...A must-read for today's IT executive."

Computer World Magazine

"This book should also be read by executives seeking competitive advantage through the blending of technology and business or why they think they think there is a gap between where their current business are and where they think they ought to be."

C2M Magazine

"The authors of this book have come up with a wonderful metaphor: Managing IT is like running a three-legged race."

CIO Insight Magazine

Six Billion Minds

Six Billion Minds "As the world becomes ever more connected, business leaders will need to recognize the issues set forth in Six Billion Minds. Globalization will not disappear, and neither will the appeal of sourcing around the world. How to think about these issues… and how to make the right decisions regarding them is the mission of this book - a mission which everyone who aspires to a leadership role in the 21st Century should undertake."

Dr. Krishna Palepu, Ross Graham Walker Professor of Business Administration, Senior Associate Dean, International Development Harvard Business School

"For those of us who believe in the inevitability of globalization, no better primer on the subject exists than "Six Billion Minds". Mark Minevich has assembled articles by some of the world’s best thinkers on globalization and its consequences, not to give us the answers to the above questions - after all, no one knows precisely how things will eventually work out - but to stimulate our minds and help us to think more clearly and deeply about the issues. "Six Billion Minds" is a book that everyone affected by the forces of globalization should read and, more important, learn from."

Dr. Irving Wladowsky Berger, IBM VP Technology and Innovation

The Alignment Effect

The Alignment Effect "The companies that will get ahead and stay ahead in today's interconnected business environment will be those that take control of technology, not those that let technology take control of them. Business leaders who want grab the reins and steer IT in the same direction as the rest of the business must read this book."

Charles B. Wang,
Founder and Chairman of the Board,
Computer Associates International, Inc.

"The Alignment Effect paints a vivid picture of information technology's worst-kept secret: IT cannot, by itself, solve your business problem. To solve your problem, any new technology must be carefully aligned with your business objectives and processes. Otherwise, save your money. Read this book if you want to ensure the success of your own technology implementation!"

Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, Ph.D.,
Authors of the One to One series of books on
managing individual customer relationships

"The examples of business/technology alignment and misalignment speak to every reader. Rarely have horror stories been explained so clearly, and Hoque shows how to ensure alignment so that next year's horror stories don't involve your company."

Don Tapscott,
International best-selling author of The Digital Economy and Growing Up Digital

"Top executives have realized for years that closing the gaping distance between technology and business can provide their organization with a strong, defensible, competitive advantage. However, knowing it and executing it are very different. The Alignment Effect finally clearly lays out a process of how to do it, and do it right."

Chuck Martin,
Author, Managing for the Short Term

"In this soon-to-be-released guide to alignment strategy, the experiences of industry experts and Fortune 500 executives provide object lessons on the pitfalls of "technology for the sake of technology," while the author lays out the benefits of what he calls Business Technology Management (BTM) to help corporate decision-makers reduce risk and increase efficiency."

e-Enterpise

e-Enterprise "If you think you know the components of modern information technology for e-Applications but not business strategy, this is for you. If you think you understand business strategy but not technology components, this is also for you."

- Edward Brginsky, Chief Technology Officer, BEA Systems

"In less than five years, business use of Internet has moved from curious novelty to ubiquitous reality. It's no longer just about selling products on the Web, but moving entire business processes online for speed, flexibility, and customer responsiveness. That's not always easy, e-Enterprise offers a roadmap to help companies make that transformation."

Clinton Wilder, Editor At Large, Information Week

"Whether you're creating a new e-business or using e-technology to add bandwidth to your existing business, this book is a must-read. Faisal Hoque provides an excellent conceptual framework and marries this with proven systems concepts employed by high-performing organizations. This is the recipe for rapid development of highly scalable e-systems that maximize return on investment. It should be required reading for e-business decision-makers and technologists alike."

Ron Griffin, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, The Home Depot
