Stone Soup Strategy: A Guide to Successful Innovation

Technology innovation failure has become so routine that no one is surprised by it, but the age of AI, remote teams, and constant disruption demands a new approach—one that embraces both individual self-interest and collective goals. This book taps the ancient and powerful storytelling tradition to present a deceptively simple model for building high-performance teams, to show how even the most complex projects can be transformed into journeys of shared success. This is also the book on AI that non-technical executives will actually read, as its story allows readers to experience the implementation of an AI project first-hand, including the expectations, challenges, pitfalls and victories experienced by the team along the way. The book is complemented by a robust training website, offering readers further educational resources such as tutorials, detailed walkthroughs of the concepts proposed in the book, and forums and live Q&A sessions.

C-suite and senior leaders, as well as project and product management professionals, will enjoy and benefit from this concise, engaging resource to help them enhance their ability to navigate challenges, foster teamwork, and achieve consistent results without being bogged down by overly complex theories.
