With the release of the May–June issue, we announced our transition to a new all–digital delivery model for Strategy & Innovation that will bring more content to you, more frequently, than our current bi–monthly publication approach. With this transition, the nature of the articles and the quality of the analysis will not change; it will simply be more timely, more interactive, and in a format that is encourages sharing with your peers.

This letter confirms details of the transition that were shared then, and adds a few details.

Again, the July–August issue will be the last regular print issue of Strategy & Innovation published. Starting in September, you will receive an email newsletter every other week that will include a mix of stories similar to that currently published in Strategy & Innovation and the Innovators’ Insight.

One step in the transition has already been complete: You will find that the Strategy & Innovation archives on our website now include all issues and articles from May–June 2008 back to September–October 2005. Archives prior to that issue are owned by Harvard Business Press and will be made available in the future.

In order to ensure you will continue to receive the electronic issues of Strategy & Innovation starting in September, you must register at the Innosight website. If you have not already done so, you can register at http://www.innosight.com/login.html .
