How Tech Adoption Fuels China’s Innovation Boom

Zak Dychtwald, founder of the advisory firm Young China Group, believes that the perception of China as a copycat and not an innovator is outdated. Instead, he argues the willingness of Chinese consumers to try new things is powering the country’s new innovation economy. Technology adoption rates in areas such as mobile payment are extremely high. He says non-Chinese companies can learn important lessons from this rapidly changing market and potentially use it to jump-start their own innovation engines. Dychtwald is the author of the HBR article "China’s New Innovation Advantage."

The Innovation System Behind Moderna’s Covid-19 Vaccine

Noubar Afeyan, cofounder and chair of Moderna Therapeutics and CEO of Flagship Pioneering, says that the breakthrough innovation behind the company’s Covid-19 vaccine came not as a stroke of luck, but from a repeatable process. He outlines a system called “emergent discovery” that involves working back from future ideals, pioneering in novel spaces, encouraging unreasonable ideas, and persistently questioning hypotheses. And he says this process applies to other industries besides life sciences. Afeyan is the coauthor, with HBS professor Gary Pisano, of the HBR article "What Evolution Can Teach Us About Innovation."

4 Business Ideas That Changed the World: Disruptive Innovation

In the 1980s, Clayton Christensen cofounded a startup that took over a market niche from DuPont and Alcoa. That experience left Christensen puzzled. How could a small company with few resources beat rich incumbents? It led to his theory of disruptive innovation, introduced in the pages of Harvard Business Review in 1995 and popularized two years later in The Innovators Dilemma. The idea has inspired a generation of entrepreneurs. It has reshaped R&D strategies at countless established firms. And it has changed how investors place billions of dollars and how governments spend billions more, aiming to kickstart new industries and spark economic growth. But disruption has taken on a popular meaning well beyond what Christensen’s research describes. Some critics argue that the theory lacks evidence. Others say it glosses over the social costs of lost jobs of bankrupted companies. And debate continues over the best way to apply the idea in practice. 4 Business Ideas That Changed the World is a special series from HBR IdeaCast. Each week, an HBR editor talks to world-class scholars and experts on the most influential ideas of HBR’s first 100 years, such as shareholder value, scientific management, and emotional intelligence. Discussing disruptive innovation with HBR editor Amy Bernstein are: Rita McGrath, professor at Columbia Business School Felix Oberholzer-Gee, professor at Harvard Business School Derek van Bever, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School Further reading: HBR: What Is Disruptive Innovation?, by Clayton M.

Disruption Isn’t the Only Path to Innovation

Disruptive innovation has proven such a powerful idea that many people now equate innovation with market disruption. But INSEAD strategy professor Renée Mauborgne says there's a powerful way to create new markets without destroying jobs, companies, and communities: "nondisruptive creation." She explains how some entrepreneurs and companies have been able to grow billion-dollar businesses that are new markets rather than displacements of existing ones. Two examples are the microfinance industry and the firm Square. And she explains how leaders can seek out these opportunities to foster profitable growth with less social harm. With fellow INSEAD professor W. Chan Kim, Mauborgne wrote the new book Beyond Disruption: Innovate and Achieve Growth without Displacing Industries, Companies, or Jobs.

Innovative Branding and Visual identity using Google Slides assets

Innovative Branding and Visual identity using Google Slides assets

abduzeedo

Montag School’s branding fuses corporate trust with creative appeal, using Google Slides assets to reach diverse audiences.

Creating a brand identity for an educational institution like Montag School requires balancing the rigorous standards of corporate audiences with the appeal needed to engage a younger, learning-focused crowd. In this project by Monga Design, Montag School’s visual branding comes to life with a thoughtful, dual-purpose approach that reaches across the boundaries of institutional professionalism and educational creativity.

Montag School’s goal was to represent itself as a trustworthy, contemporary leader in personalized education. This meant moving away from conventional, corporate-heavy design toward a more flexible and approachable brand image. The resulting visual identity integrates both institutional authority and a fresh, dynamic appeal, capturing the trustworthiness expected in corporate circles while aligning with the openness and innovation desired in education.

One of the project’s standout qualities is its focus on balance. By addressing both institutional credibility and the youthful appeal needed for online and in-person classes, the branding reinforces Montag’s positioning as a leader in educational innovation. The design combines strong visual cues—such as clean lines and modern typography—with a vibrant color palette, adding depth to both the brand’s academic and professional facets.

Leveraging Google Slides for Visual Consistency

An innovative aspect of this project is the use of Google Slides as a foundational tool for asset creation. This choice reflects an understanding of Montag’s operational needs and the educational landscape’s demands for accessibility and efficiency. By designing custom graphics within Google Slides, Monga Design created a versatile, cost-effective solution for maintaining consistent visuals across various educational materials. Google Slides not only provides easy customization but also aligns with the widespread use of this tool in both corporate and learning environments, allowing Montag to produce branded materials in-house without requiring extensive software training.

Montag School’s branding thoughtfully considers its diverse target audiences. For in-company courses and corporate conventions, the brand maintains a polished, professional tone, ensuring credibility and trust in a business context. Simultaneously, for students attending online and in-person classes, the brand incorporates a more engaging, youthful look. The graphics, colors, and animations appeal to students by creating an approachable and modern learning environment.

Monga Design introduced animations for key assets to add a layer of interactivity to Montag’s branding. These animations, crafted by Clint Studio, enhance the brand’s visual appeal while ensuring they resonate with both young learners and seasoned professionals. This visual dynamism strengthens the brand’s reach by making it adaptable to the changing demands of the educational landscape.

The design team approached this branding project with a detailed, collaborative process. Their “Visual Thermometer” meeting—a strategy to explore visual possibilities rather than set rigid creative guidelines—proved essential for crafting a design that was both client-centered and creative. By aligning client preferences with design expertise, they established a visual identity that resonates on multiple levels, providing a cohesive experience for all audiences.

Montag School’s branding successfully bridges the gap between education and business, providing a clear, attractive, and credible visual identity that aligns with the brand’s values. By balancing a contemporary, accessible aesthetic with the professionalism expected in corporate circles, Montag School positions itself as a modern leader in education, with a visual identity that can grow with its expanding audience.
