However, the real excitement and opportunity will be to share the book and its lessons with undergrad students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UNC and Duke. VG's simple but critical look at how to manage and optimize for the Present (Box 1), shed and forget the Past and its trappings (Box 2) and be ready for and create the Future (Box 3) is clearly the task ahead for CEOs and their teams. But also something worth sharing with those just starting their careers or launching their ideas. His retelling of Keurig's move from an Office coffee machine to one for the Home is a fantastic lens to understand Box 3 leadership and execution. The Chapter on Keurig is full of gems as he shares the stories behind making a brewer that would heat up fast enough to satisfy an impatient coffee lover at home in the morning as well as pack enough coffee in the K-cup to satisfy the demanding needs of Starbucks and the taste buds of its consumers. VG's abilities to help understand the critical components of a Box 3 initiative are so well captured in the Chapter around Keurig including the importance of creating a Box 3 culture and having courageous leadership which for most is very hard. The book is full of strong examples of company leadership, execution and simple but powerful strategies and considerations as he takes us through all three boxes with United Rentals, IBM, Willow Creek, Mahindra, Keurig and his own insights. Enjoy The Three-Box Solution and getting to know or reading more from the thinking and experiences of VG! Review: You need three boxes to manage your business and your career - How do you align your organization on the competing agenda of simultaneously running the current business while dramatically reinventing it? The answer is The Three-Box solution. Box 1 – Manage the present core business, the performance engine Box 2 – Abandon practices and ideas that have lost relevance in the changed environment Box 3 – Generate breakthrough ideas and convert them into profitable business. By balancing the three boxes, managers can resolve the inherent tension of innovating a new business while running a high-performing business at the same time. The author, Professor Govindarajan has the magic of turning complex issues into simple framework and articulating it in plain English, which makes reading this book an enjoyable journey. The author cited real examples of how other organizations are using this model and applying these principles: You should engage in both linear (Box 1) and nonlinear (Box 3) innovations to ensure leadership in the future. You must develop the discipline of selectively forgetting the past (Box2) or the past will prevent you from creating the future Optimizing current business models in Box 1 and creating new business models in Box 3 must be pursued simultaneously, yet we call for different activities, skills, methods, metrics, mind-sets, and leadership approaches. After reading this book, I started to realize that this deceptively simply Three Box framework applies to the career management too. To have a successful career, you need manage the current career (Box 1 )to achieve the efficiency at current position but at the same time you should spend time thinking about our long term career goal which is Box 3. In the process, we need selectively forgetting those skills that have lost relevance - the Box 2. In a word, you need the Three Box, for a sustainable business and a successful career. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #351,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #371 in Strategic Business Planning #669 in Systems & Planning #1,489 in Business Management (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (345) | | Dimensions | 6.2 x 0.9 x 9.3 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1633690148 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1633690141 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | April 26, 2016 | | Publisher | Harvard Business Review Press | ## Images ![The Three-Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VZa8qqOxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Just For CEOs (although they will love it!) *by J***C on May 18, 2016* The Three-Box Solution is a great read and one I will bring to friends leading and managing start-ups and established Companies.
