There's a problem with innovation inside of big companies. And it's not what you think. Corporations are better managed than ever, but they're less capable of delivering the breakthroughs that change our world for the better. Big companies are too often focused on efficiency instead of resiliency. They're optimized for safety and predictability, for maintenance of the status quo. Their focus on capital efficiency leads them to engage in an illusion of innovation: activity that feels like innovation but leads to value destruction, not progress. This book explains why meaningful innovation naturally emerges from deliberate inefficiency and how large corporations can harness the power of small teams-startups-to drive radical change through systematic experimentation. The Illusion of Innovation explores:What the Federal Witness Protection Program reveals about the power of individualsHow the Amazon river basin relies on random evolution to build resiliencyHow the NBA's shift to the three-point rule demonstrates the importance of thoughtful experimentsHow one-thousand-year-old businesses survive crisesWe need scaled corporations to recover their problem-solving capacity. This means questioning decades of embedded assumptions about why corporations exist and finding ways to run faster, cheaper, and weirder experiments. It's time to build again.

Struggling to be an entrepreneur? Forget what you know. Success is not about how to win . . . It's about how to lose. With thousands of books and courses on entrepreneurship, why aren't there more successful entrepreneurs? The answer is simple-we have been teaching it all wrong. In Winners and Losers, award-winning speaker Don Schmincke uses research from his many anthropological expeditions across the world, scientific data, and his experience training over thirty thousand CEOs to uncover the truth. Instead of looking at what successful entrepreneurs did right, Schmincke looks at what happened before their successes. What he found was that their paths were littered with mistakes, misguided assumptions, and major losses. Could the key to their successful entrepreneurship actually lie in their failures? Unlike entrepreneurship books that focus on how to win, Schmincke deviates from the status quo and reveals that the real secret is in how to lose-powerfully. True success arises from the inevitable losses that come with risky ventures. With a straightforward, humorous, and often politically incorrect approach, Winners and Losers offers anyone with entrepreneurial dreams unique management methods and scientific models to help build a framework for success. Moments of despair birth real entrepreneurship. It's time to embrace the loss.
