Innovate The Next is the 7th book by author and entrepreneur Tiisetso Maloma.
The core teaching of the book is how one can become an innovator of novel products (physical and virtual) in any industrial revolution.
It is targeted at entrepreneurs, employees and innovation enthusiasts.
To understand and master a thing, one has to understand how it forms, unfolds and evolves.
Chapter One takes to evolutionary biology to form this understanding of innovation evolution (manmade and biological).
After all, biology gave humans the brain they innovate with.
It looks at the factors pre-determining the success or failure of biological and manmade innovations. To achieve this it borrows the ‘Adjacent Possible Theory’ from biology. The theory was devised by theoretical biologist Stuart Alan Kauffman.
To drive this guide methodically, Tiisetso Maloma devised a set of factors entitled ‘Enabling factors for products success with the Adjacent Possible.’
Namely, they are: (a) Behavioural Utility, (b) Innovation (adjacent possible stacking, or stacking for agility), (c) Location Specific Adjacent Possible Advantages, (d) Spaza/Convenience Metrical Interest/Advantage of a Product, (e) Business Model, and (f) Luck.
Their use is to analyse, evaluate and strengthen any product innovation or idea.
Chapter Two connects the success or failure of manmade innovations to evolutionary psychological-inclinations through Tiisetso Maloma’s devised Human Greed Pyramid.
The pyramid illustrates how product success is allowed and or disallowed by human inclinations.
Chapter Three plots how inclinations can be plotted into innovation.
Chapter Four reverse engineers the models illustrated in the book into what skills can one hone to become an innovator of novel products. It draws scenarios for entrepreneurs, employees and innovation aspirants.
Chapter Five connects the models learned throughout the book to understand the current (Fourth) Industrial Revolution and its technologies: robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, the Internet of Things, decentralized consensus, 5G, 3D printing and autonomous vehicles.
It sheds light on key innovation concepts such as Moore’s Law, exaptation, and convergence.
It is a chapter on how to see into the future as an innovator.

George Soros is one of the world's leading philanthropists. Over the past thirty years, he has provided more than 8 billion to his worldwide network of foundations: the Open Society Foundations, which have applied the concept of the open society, the cornerstone of Soros's thinking on democracy, freedom, and human rights, in the United States and abroad. This book, written by former New York Times journalist Chuck Sudetic, marks the first exploration of George Soros's innovative philanthropic strategies and unmatched commitment to building open societies in places where dictatorship and violent repression have been the rule for too long.Soros is widely lauded for his brilliant financial and economic insights and investment strategies. But his philosophy-driven philanthropy and its impact are unprecedented for a private individual, and have produced remarkable results. Soros's visionary efforts include:helping to topple communism in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and attempting to foster civil society in Chinainitiating and nurturing global and local organizations fighting to overcome the driver of war, repression, and corruption in oil- and blood-diamond stateshelping Sarajevo's people endure three years of siege during the Bosnian Warfighting resistant strains of TB in Russia's jails and Lesotho's mountains before the disease can devastate the world's great citiesundertaking the first attempt in history to help Europe's most downtrodden people lift themselves from poverty and segregationsupporting democratic resistance in Burma and building communities in Haiti's roughest slumsapplying new methods for fighting poverty and drug addiction and reforming dysfunctional justice systems in Baltimore, New Orleans, and other U.S. cities.

New generation of smartsourcing hubs orchestrating business components across executable business processes according to the authors, the evolution of the software industry will "dwarf the technology industry of the next fifty years" and b2 b vendors have a key role to play in that move to a purely efficient market where the transfer cost, that is the cost of "unplugging and plugging back to another ecosystem" would no longer be a measurable impediment
once a process has been identified as core to an organization, the rate of the innovation on that given process must increase, allowing it to keep its competitive advantage and the cash flow to aliment the innovation trend comes directly from the money made out of outsourcing according to the authors, for every dollar of work offshored $1 20 to $1 40 is created in additional return and this money should be the venture capital of the innovation economy don't underestimate this point, after an agricultural based economy, followed by an industrial age, followed by a service based economy, we are now entering the area of innovation and the "invented in" label will have more value attached to it than the "made in" label therefore the innovation process becomes a challenge, and it requires its own set of skills it is vital for our economy that we learn how to innovate through learning tools such as c p s creative problem solving for the future begins with the challenges we face today
smartsoucing is a hell of a good read and is fascinating because of the insightful, visionary comments of its writers thomas m koulopoulos, is known for his colon in the economist, business week, the wall street journal and his broadcasts on c n b c and c n n he is also the c e o of the delphi group tom roloff is a leading business strategist, vice president and c t o of e m c corporation both made a very good work with this wake up call book offering us a glance at what will be the future of the software industry as well as the way businesses will evolve
