The Innovator's Way by Robert Dunham
Two experts show that innovation is a skill that can be learned and describe eight essential practices for achieving success.Innovation is the ruling buzzword in business today. Technology companies invest billions in developing new gadgets; business leaders see innovation as the key to a competitive edge; policymakers craft regulations to foster a climate of innovation. And yet businesses report a success rate of only four percent for innovation initiatives. Can we significantly increase our odds of success? In The Innovator's Way, innovation experts Peter Denning and Robert Dunham reply with an emphatic yes. Innovation, they write, is not simply an invention, a policy, or a process to be managed. It is a personal skill that can be learned, developed through practice, and extended into organizations.Denning and Dunham identify and describe eight personal practices that all successful innovators perform: sensing, envisioning, offering, adopting, sustaining, executing, leading, and embodying. Together, these practices can boost a fledgling innovator to success. Weakness in any of these practices, they show, blocks innovation. Denning and Dunham chart the path to innovation mastery, from individual practices to teams and social networks.Craig Miller helps leaders and teams work more efficiently and effectively. He shows individuals how to connect goals and milestones back to their passions and values. When Miller sees a leader recommit to an organization or project with a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm, he knows his work is done.
Miller is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and has lived in Spain for the last 28 years. He lives in Madrid with his wife and youngest son. His two older sons live and study in Los Angeles. For more information about his work, Miller invites you to visit his website, www.craig-miller.com.
