Summary of Breakthrough (Bill Davidson)
Book PresentationBreakthrough by Bill Davidson
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
The world’s most successful companies get to the top and stay there by consistently challenging themselves to achieve goals that seem unreasonable or even outrageous and then organizing themselves to achieve those breakthrough results. It is this process of setting challenging goals and then stretching to achieve them that keeps these organizations successful.
Breakthroughs reflect the health and vitality of a company. Unless a business enterprise continues to challenge itself to do more and to do better in the future, it will be in danger of resting on its laurels and in that way surrendering its market share to other firms which are moving forward. The key to long-term market leadership and sustainable success is to constantly be setting new outrageous objectives and then organizing yourself to achieve them.
“Over the past decade we have observed, studied and worked with seventy companies in various stages of business breakthrough and transformation. We’ve learned a great deal from these breakthrough companies and their leaders. My goal is to synthesize, sharpen, and share those learnings for use in your team’s success cycle. It all begins with breakthrough.”
– Bill Davidson

Summary of Breakthrough (Bill Davidson)
1. Breakthrough
A breakthrough is an enterprise-scale business innovation – something significant enough to shape the business enterprise in the future either by reforming the company’s core or moving the business into new markets and new business models. In essence, successful breakthroughs change the firm (and often its markets) forever.
Breakthrough results appear in any of four key dimensions:
Profitability – a breakthrough may enable one company in an industry to achieve greater profitability than everyone else.Operating performance – a breakthrough may provide a company with such operational excellence that it can pursue and profit from new opportunities its competitors ignore. For example, Dell Computer, the worldwide leader in PC sales in 2001, is a great example of how superior operating performance can carry a marginal competitor to market leadership. All of Dell’s successes have sprung from the fact it has been able to convert its own business model cost savings into competitive pricing, growing market share and greater profitability than any of its peers.Market position
