2. Making AI a Natural Success in Your Organisation
Organisations are racing to unlock the promise of AI, but many are finding that realising long-term commercial value is harder than expected.

3. Taking the Guesswork Out of Innovation
Success often depends not just on generating ideas, but on managing innovation with precision and discipline. Predictable Winners, a new book by L.E.K.’s Stuart Jackson and Ilya Trakhtenberg, shows how organisations can take a more systematic, measured approach to innovation — improving the odds at every stage.
Drawing on decades of experience helping companies manage growth and new product development, the authors set out practical steps to make innovation less about chance, and more about results.
If you're looking to take a smarter, lower-risk approach to growth, this is a great place to start.
