Innovation<br />

Be transformed by the renewal of your mind<br />

Manchester City is the first football club<br />

in the world to introduce a global chain of<br />

clubs. That is what you call innovation.<br />

Innovation is crucial to the continuing success<br />

of any organisation. The Bible described<br />

it as “being transformed by the renewing<br />

of your mind.”<br />

Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City<br />

said “With this structure, we’re doing something<br />

that has never been done before. That<br />

means you have to take risks, innovate, and<br />

not be afraid to try new things. There is no<br />

limit to what we can achieve.”<br />

This carefully coordinated approach is apparently<br />

reaping rewards. CFG claims it<br />

now reaches over four hundred million fans<br />

globally across its four clubs and is attracting<br />

an expanding roster of sponsors who<br />

are drawn to the prospect of activating campaigns<br />

at both a global and a local level.<br />

“No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth<br />

on an old garment. If he does, the patch<br />

tears away from it, the new from the old,<br />

and a worse tear is made. And no one<br />

puts new wine into old wineskins. If he<br />

does, the wine will burst the skins—and<br />

the wine is destroyed, and so are the<br />

skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”<br />
