We’ve written industry defining books, publish articles in leading journals like Harvard Business Review and create practical white papers to help businesses navigate change and innovation.

Core and Explore

Change Logic has been working for twenty years to help firms balance exploration into new opportunities with a focus on the core business. Our Harvard and Stanford business school founders started this work in the 1990s. They published award winning books and articles on “explore and exploit” and the ambidextrous organization as a way to lead “disruptive innovation”. They then applied the approach at scale at IBM in the early 2000s, which became our firm’s foundations.

Lead and Disrupt

Drawing on deep research, Change Logic co-founders, Charles O’Reilly and Michael Tushman, describe how a succession of firms have put in place a systematic approach to moving into new market areas, without losing focus on the existing core business franchise. These firms Lead in the core business and Disrupt in the Explore.

Corporate Explorers

Corporate Explorers are managers creating businesses outside established corporate rules, using the assets of the firm to beat startups to disruptive growth opportunities. They are willing to stand-out from the crowd, act with independence, and break the firm’s taboos to commercialize disruptive ideas.
