Beyond Great

Nine Strategies for Thriving in an Era of Social Tension, Economic Nationalism, and Technological Revolution
Book • 2020
Beyond Great presents nine integrated strategies for leaders and companies to thrive in an era of constant disruption, drawing on BCG research and interviews with dozens of global firms.

The book urges firms to move beyond shareholder-only thinking to embrace total societal impact while reorganizing, operating, and growing in more flexible, people-centered ways.

It covers topics including always-on transformation, liquefying organizations into focused, fast, flat teams, and leadership imperatives such as lifelong learning and navigating ambiguity.

Through case studies (e. g.

, Microsoft, John Deere, Unilever, ByteDance) the authors show practical moves—like power metrics, agile teams, and ecosystem play—to align purpose with performance.

The book is positioned as a practical roadmap for executives to restructure strategy, talent, and operations to compete in a volatile global landscape.
