Book Presentation: The Idea-Driven Organization by Alan Robinson and Dean Schroeder
Book Abstract
Fresh ideas for improving your business probably won't come from your senior managers – you're already doing what they think. Instead, the best ideas are far more likely to come from your front-line people who interact with customers, make your products and deliver your services. Instead of suppressing those ideas, idea-driven organizations pick up on them and apply them.
Simply put, idea-driven organizations are directed from the top but are primarily driven by ideas from the bottom. They let good ideas bubble up from front-line staff which then get picked up on and executed from the top down. For this to happen, you need to have systems in place which both push and pull those ideas at the same time.
To get ahead, don't look for a superstar CEO. Listen to and act on the ideas of your ordinary employees.
When you start unlocking the potential of those ideas, everything changes.
“The bottom line is this: Idea-driven organizations have many times the improvement and innovation capability of their traditional counterparts. If you learn how to tap the ideas of your front-line workers, you can truly break free of the reductionist “more with less” mindset. You and your employees will thrive in environments where you once would have struggled to survive.”
- Alan Robinson and Dean Schroeder
“The winners aren’t the ones who do the most things. When everything is pursued, the important gets neglected. The winners are the ones who do the most important things. Be the best at what matters most to customers, and you will succeed. Your goal should be to be so good at the basics that you are cutting edge.”
- Joe Calloway

Summary of The Idea-Driven Organization (Alan Robinson and Dean Schroeder)
1. Understand the power of front-line ideas
It's amazing how many companies ignore the ideas which their front-line employees generate every day. If you can become idea-driven, you can gain a competitive advantage.
Very few organizations fully harness the collective brainpower, creativity, hands-on knowledge and insights of their entire workforce. By and large, most tend to use just the ideas which are drawn from a handful of company leaders or sometimes the owners. That's unfortunate because there is no question front-line employees can come up with great ideas.
