About the Book

"Imagine being the driving force behind ground-breaking solutions, solving difficult challenges, or disrupting your industry. A new generation of innovators is rising to take on these important challenges--and succeeding. But too many innovators, in boardrooms, start-ups, and everything in between, are still trapped by the limits of common innovation practices. The way we've been taught to create and innovate for the past two decades is failing us. In today's changing world, where business leaders must navigate industry disruption, entrepreneurs struggle to push beyond initial success, and activists tackle hard challenges like climate change, there is a need for a more powerful way to do innovation. It's time for a paradigm shift. To unlock the secrets to doing bigger things, this book introduces the pioneering concept of ecosystem innovation. Drawing on their extensive experience with a wide range of actors, from Fortune Global 100 companies to local entrepreneurs in Nepal, authors Dan McClure and Jennifer Wilde present remarkable stories, accessible breakdowns, and actionable insights. With this step-by-step guide, you'll acquire the big-picture mindset and capabilities you need to outmaneuver fast-moving competitors, break through the ceiling on innovation impact, and create solutions for problems others feel are beyond reach. Do Bigger Things offers a practical way to set bolder goals, understand harder challenges, design bigger solutions, and drive and deliver on ambitious ideas. It's time to shatter the notion that hard problems or game-changing endeavors are beyond your reach, your organization's capabilities, or your community's grasp. The time for bigger action is now."
