Is constant reinvention the key to winning in fast-paced world? This title reveals a truth: successful companies that endure maintain a form of simplicity at their core. It equips companies to deal successfully with complexity, the silent killer of profitable growth.

Over the next decade, two out of every three companies will face the challenge of their corporate redefining their core business. Buffeted by global competition and facing an uncertain future, more and more executives will realize that they must make fundamental changes in their core even as they continue delivering the goods and services that keep them in business today.Unstoppable shows these managers how to look deep within their organizations to find undervalued, unrecognized, or underutilized assets that can serve as new platforms for sustainable growth. Drawing on more than thirty interviews with CEOs from companies such as De Beers, American Express, and Samsung, it shows readers how to recognize when the core needs reinvention and how to deploy the "hidden assets" that can be the basis for tomorrow's growth.Building on the author's previous books, Profit from the Core and Beyond the Core , this book shows how any company in crisis can transform itself to become truly unstoppable.

Achieving and sustaining profitable growth is a significant challenge for many executives, who often focus on external factors like market attractiveness and customer acquisition. However, research by Bain & Company's Chris Zook and James Allen reveals that 90 percent of growth challenges are internal, stemming from issues such as increasing distance from the front lines, loss of accountability, and excessive bureaucracy. They identify a series of predictable internal crises that companies face at various growth stages, which, if not managed effectively, can hinder further growth and even lead to decline. The authors emphasize the importance of adopting a "founder's mentality," characterized by a clear mission, ownership mindset, and a strong focus on frontline operations. This approach, typically associated with ambitious founders, can help restore speed, focus, and customer connection as companies expand. Drawing on a decade-long study across over forty countries, the authors demonstrate that any leader can leverage this mentality to navigate predictable challenges and steer their organizations toward sustainable growth, empowering them to take control of their companies' destinies.
