Innovation Secrets from the Front Lines: A Business Leader's Guide to Creating New Sources of Growth and Profits

If you’re like many business leaders, you’re familiar with the potential that innovation can bring to your organization. What prevents many from taking the idea of innovation further is the cloud of mystery that surrounds next steps - how do I use innovation to create tangible results?

One reason for this dilemma is that innovation is in peril by the very business environment that is common in many companies. When you understand and address those obstacles, you increase innovation odds. Innovation is achievable for everyday teams and organizations!

In Innovation Secrets from the Front Lines, leaders get straight talk from one business leader to another, on what it takes to create repeatable innovation in business – and how to build the environments that keep it from being crushed.

It’s frank and not always a pretty description of business realities – but you’ll be armed with knowing the common innovation obstacles plus how to avoid them. This is a book that’s as much about what it takes to be a successful modern leader as it is a how-to guide for innovation.

It’s fast-paced for busy people, yet gives you specifics of how grassroots innovation can take you from no or weak innovation results to low cost, noteworthy and repeatable innovation projects with speed.

The end-to-end system shows how you can revolutionize the way you connect with employees and customers, create efficiencies and generate new growth – on any scale. It’s already shown to work – providing the framework that enabled employees to create innovation projects that generated over $230 million in less than 3 years.
