I completely re-evaluated the role of innovation in business growth: before reading this book I have to admit I thought it only entailed product new features and technologies enhancements, while now I see it has everything to do with meeting customer needs and uncovering a business USP, which automatically translates in sales! Could not recommend it more!

Unlike most business innovation books I read over the last years (and even decades) when reading How to create innovation you immediately understand the authors have been there, innovating and transforming some of the world's most amazing brands. Great work!

Not only this book offers the most comprehensive innovation and business change overview but it really helps you take the next step, driving you step by step from theory to practice (also with super useful background notes and driving questions)

I really enjoyed the whole book, but mostly the culture chapter, mainly because I always failed to acknowledge its major role in favouring or inhibiting business growth. Loved the graphics that helped connect all the dots in a visually appealing (and way easier) way.

We’been willing to innovate our business for some years now, but then we always got stuck before we even started, because basically we had no idea where to start…This book helped us do just that: find the right starting point with guiding questions and an incredibly comprehensive innovation overview.
We successfully apply the models we created in our services
Thousands of organizations leverage the UNITE models - these are some of them ...
Why we use it
Evaluating employees for their current competancies can be a challenge; predicting where they’re likely to excelin the future is even more daunting. The 9 Box Matrix tries to objectify these measurements as much as possible to create a fair estimation of where each employee is today, and where they’re likely to be going forward.
In addition to allowing for the creation of an individualized training program – which makes it far more likely to be useful – the Matrix helps identify leadership candidates and support talent management.
The 9 Box Talent Review Matrix works by plotting an employee’s current job performance and future potential on two separate scales, typically represented by a vertical and horizontal axis. The scales are divided into three levels each (high, medium, low) and create a matrix of 9 boxes. This allows for a visual representation of an employee’s strengths and weaknesses and helps determine their suitability for future roles, development needs, and career path.
Evaluators should have metrics established to help measure current ability. Ideally, these metrics were communicated when the evaluation period began.
An employee with high performance and high potential would be plotted in the upper right-hand corner of the matrix, indicating they are a strong performer with a lot of potential for growth. An employee with low performance and low potential would be plotted in the lower left-hand corner, indicating they may require improvement or may not be suitable for advancement within the organization.
What is the goal of the model?
The goal of the 9 Box Talent Review Matrix is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an employee’s performance and potential for growth and advancement within an organization.

Monthly live webinars
Each month we host our exclusive, invitation-only webinar series where one of our industry-leading experts updates our members on the latest news, progress and concepts around business strategy, innovation and digital transformation, as well as other related topics.
You will receive the book in PDF and EPUB formats, ideal for your computer, Kindle, Tablet or other eReading device.
Bi-weekly live group Q&A sessions
These sessions are your opportunity to bring any questions or challenges you’re facing and receive expert guidance on the spot.
Come and be a part of engaging discussions where your unique concerns are heard and addressed.
1x personal coaching session / month
If you are occasionally looking for a sparring partner or you need limited support, then this option will be ideal for you. Coaching sessions are 1-2 hours where we can discuss any challenge or opportunity you are currently facing.
If you need a few more hours outside of this provision, then these could be billed transparently.
Unlimited video call support! – it’s like always making the right decision!
We believe support shouldn’t be limited. Because we typically find that the occasional hour just doesn’t cut it – particularly if you and your team are in the midst of a large and complex project.
Your time with Stefan is therefore unlimited (fair usage applies) – in his function as coach and sparring partner. That does mean that you will still have to do the work – we cannot take that off you, unless you hire us as consultants. But you will get valuable strategic insight and direction to make sure you are always focusing your efforts where they will lead to the best results.
One personal coaching session / month + unlimited support via e-mail & WhatsApp
We believe support shouldn’t be limited. If you generally know what you are doing but want a sparring partner to frequently raise questions to, this is the perfect choice!
In addition to your monthly 1-1 live coaching sessions with Stefan, you will also get unlimited support from him via email and WhatsApp messaging (fair usage applies). This not only allows you to get valuable strategic direction in your calls, but also gives you instant access to expert help as you work through your plans each month.
The fact that support is text-based means that we can speed up our responses to you while keeping the overall cost of support down.
