Could a dated or unsuccessful solution from one sector disrupt another? Can a racing team enhance efficiency in industrial manufacturing? Might science fiction impart valuable innovative thinking to entrepreneurs? These examples form the essence of “exprovement,” a concept of exponential improvement by drawing connections between seemingly unrelated fields. Like Henry Ford’s transformation of the automotive industry through insights from meat-packing, this book by Hersh Haladker and Raghunath Mashelkar underscores that seeking growth opportunities within an industry yields incremental progress, while exponential advancements arise from insights outside the current context.

The book encourages leaders to seek unexpected parallels, knowing they can drive innovation and leave a lasting impact.
