New York Times bestselling author
'This elegant story, rich in insight into what it takes to make innovation happen, has already had tremendous impact in GE executive development programs and on key innovation projects.'
Stephen Liguori, Executive Director, Global Innovation and New Models, General Electric
A simple, charming business parable about managing change, and making innovation happen.
Inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm and the international bestseller Our Iceberg is Melting, How Stella Saved the Farm is a simple parable about embracing change and managing innovation in difficult times.
Bankruptcy, or the grim prospect of being acquired by a hostile human competitor, threatens Windsor Farm. But when a young sheep called Stella comes up with a bold idea, will the other animals be able to respond to her ambitious call to action?
Grounded in over a decade of academic research, How Stella Saved the Farm will resonate for organisations of all types, from global corporations to small companies looking to embrace change. With eight simple lessons to guide new initiatives to success, it prepares readers to avoid some of innovation's most toxic myths, how to build the right kind of team, and how to take their business to the next level in a fast-changing world.
'At first glance, I was skeptical. By the end, I was blown away. In a quick, fun read I found brilliant simplicity, capturing best practices for enabling and managing innovation. I continue to recommend Stella to executives seeking to turn new ideas into material business outcomes.'
Roy Rosin, former vice president of Innovation, Intuit
'Govindarajan and Trimble have managed to do the unthinkable – develop a case study that is both seriously thought-provoking and truly entertaining.'
Dolph Johnson, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Hasbro
'Simple. Powerful. Memorable. This story resonates with our own experiences.'
