Brick by Brick takes you inside the LEGO you've never seen. By following the teams that are inventing some of the world's best-loved toys, it spotlights the company's disciplined approach to harnessing creativity and recounts one of the most remarkable business transformations in recent memory.
Brick by Brick reveals how LEGO failed to keep pace with the revolutionary changes in kids' lives and began sliding into irrelevance. When the company's leaders implemented some of the business world's most widely espoused prescriptions for boosting innovation, they ironically pushed the iconic toymaker to the brink of bankruptcy. The company's near-collapse shows that what works in theory can fail spectacularly in the brutally competitive global economy.
It took a new LEGO management team – faced with the growing rage for electronic toys, few barriers to entry, and ultra-demanding consumers (ten-year old boys) – to reinvent the innovation rule book and transform LEGO into one of the world's most profitable, fastest-growing companies.
Along the way, Brick by Brick reveals how LEGO:
- Became truly customer-driven by co-creating with kids as well as its passionate adult fans
- Looked beyond products and learned to leverage a full-spectrum approach to innovation
- Opened its innovation process by using both the "wisdom of crowds" and the expertise of elite cliques
- Discovered uncontested, "blue ocean" markets, even as it thrived in brutally competitive red oceans
- Gave its world-class design teams enough space to create and direction to deliver
built a culture where profitable innovation flourishes
Sometimes radical yet always applicable, Brick by Brick abounds with real-world lessons for unleashing breakthrough innovation in your organization, just like LEGO. Whether you're a senior executive looking to make your company grow, an entrepreneur building a startup from scratch, or a fan who wants to instill some of that LEGO magic in your career, you'll learn how to build your own innovation advantage, brick by brick.

评分关键是有效创新 ——读《乐高:创新者的世界》 彭忠富 创新是民族前进的动力,这点在中国早就成为共识。创新对于企业来说尤为重要,“人无我有,人有我精”,如果企业不断推陈出新,站在行业潮头引领消费潮流,那么必定会屹立不倒。但是创新有个前提,那就是企业推出的创新必...
评分喜欢书中对于乐高公司成长过程中很多故事和细节的描述。不过对于把乐高的危机和复兴与对创新的认识和管理联系起来我不大认同。至少这个由已知结果推定出的原因不能让我信服。不过书中的以下观点还是靠谱的: 1-战略咨询公司大部分时候都是在胡扯; 2-要赚钱,否则再伟大的理想...
评分本书的文章不是完全按照年代来写的,看得思路有些乱。主要是想说,创新是乐高成功的法宝,但是要小心使用。 乐高早年制定了创新七法,一路稳步成长,但是由于没有好好的监管成本与利润,导致铺的太大,赚的太少。在2003年时虽然有销售营业额,但是亏本严重,差点关门。 后来招...
