The Wall Street Journal Top Ten Bestseller: The 10 strategies to sustainable growth, based on a purpose-led culture for organizations large and small.
'A
worthy successor to Michael Porter, Bova's book is that rare gift: it
opens doors for new ideas and new actions. No glib answers here, simply
hard-won wisdom that will provoke big changes for organizations large
and small.' - Seth Godin, author of Linchpin

Bova, the Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce, draws on her
expertise as a consultant and practitioner to devise a new framework for
business leaders looking to pursue growth. We're witnessing an age of
endless customization, and growth strategy is no exception. There's no
one size fits all strategy; a winning strategy for one business may
spell doom for another.
In Growth IQ,
Bova determines that there are ten simple – but easily misunderstood –
growth paths, and explains how companies can get a handle on their
particular business context, and use it to determine the right
combination and sequence of growth paths to take them into the future.
Bova breaks down the strategies deployed by a wide range of companies to show you how:
*
GE and John Deere have lasted over a century and continue to thrive by
combining their strategy of innovative product development with a
renewed focus on R&D and customer experience.
*
Marvel transformed from a struggling comic book publisher to a global
entertainment behemoth by realigning their market penetration strategy
to focus on comic book characters, instead of just comic books.
*
Gateway's attempt at market expansion into brick-and-mortar retail led
to its failure, while the same move by Apple has accelerated its growth.
Whether your company is on a growth spurt, in a worrying stall, or showing signs of decline, Growth IQ is your map to charting the course of your company's future.
