Riassunto

Praise for The Open Innovation Revolution

"A must-read for companies who are either starting their open innovation journey or who want to sharpen their open innovation approach. Stefan explains in very clear terms the challenges and opportunities that company leaders and their intrapreneurs will face."łChris Thoen, Managing Director, Global Connect + Develop Office, Procter & Gamble

"The Open Innovation Revolution is an essential tool for all innovation practitioners. It's packed with usable advice and great stories that Stefan has collected from his work across a variety of industries. Whether you are building a new program or enhancing an existing effort, this book offers practical insights and actionable steps that can maximize your program's success."łJeff Bellairs, Senior Director, Connected Innovation, General Mills

"Every innovation leader that wants to incorporate or advance open innovation should read this book. Stefan not only puts open innovation in simple, practical, and executable terms, but also inspires those in charge by providing tools to design strategies geared to success at a corporate and even individual level, something I didn't expect and that makes this a unique publication."-Moises Norena, Director, Global Innovation, Whirlpool Corporation

"Open innovation may one day be as natural as breathing, but remains a constant struggle for most corporations today. Lindegaard has given us an insightful overview of practical concepts that can be put to use today, and thus begin to grow a capability central to the future of any corporation."-Russ Conser, ManagerūGameChanger, Royal Dutch Shell

"If you want 'open,' look no further. Stefan's open and (sometimes brutally) honest account of open innovation is refreshing. There is no theory or fluff. You only get practical advice for making open innovation a reality in your organization. Let the revolution begin."-Stephen Shapiro Author, 24/7 Innovation; Chief Innovation Evangelist, Inno Centive

Life Is Not Exactly a bed of roses for most innovation leaders and intrapreneursłthose assertive, innovative, corporate risk-takers who passionately turn ideas into profitable products. They take on corporate sacred cows and face down challenges that would cause less driven and less talented people to quickly throw their hands down in defeat. They struggle daily to unleash entrepreneurial thinking while dealing with an army of people fiercely dedicated to maintaining the status quo.

The question for business leaders is simple: How can innovation leaders and intrapreneurs freely operate in a corporation that wants to keep things the way they are? The answer is also simple: read The Open Innovation Revolution.

This practical guide reveals that, without the right people to drive innovation processes, your odds of success shrink dramatically. And as open innovation becomes the norm, developing the right people skillsłnetworking, communicating with stakeholders, building your personal brand, and the ability to sell ideasłis essential for your innovation leaders and intrapreneurs.

Starting with a Foreword from world-changing innovator and bestselling author Guy Kawasaki, The Open Innovation Revolution looks closely at:

-Open innovationłthe visionary model that more and more companies are adopting

-Innovation leaders and intrapreneursłand the essential elements that must be put in place for these people to thrive

-The people-related roadblocks that can impede innovation and some ways these can be overcome

-The personal leadership skills you will need to develop as an innovation leader or intrapreneur

Innovation thought leader Stefan Lindegaard helps you know if open innovation is right for your organization and then shows you how to prepare those within your organization to make the quantum leap to open innovation as the new normal.

Recensione:

"In his new book, The Open Innovation Revolution: Essentials, Roadblocks and Leadership Skills, Lindegaard outlines 10 essential elements of an open innovation culture. What makes this list even more compelling than usual is that it comes not just from the mind of the author, but from some top-notch open innovation practitioners in Stefan's Linkedin group. I have only just begun to read The Open Innovation Revolution, but am already impressed with Stefan's thinking. He's not some ivory tower prognosticator, but a relentless networker who gets out there and develops relationships with key open innovation movers like Thoen and encourages discussion on his Linkedin group. In other words, Stefan's approach is very inclusive; by seeking out many voices, he has developed a deeper understanding of the emerging strategies and practices of open innovation than almost anyone else I know. If your company is thinking about implementing an open innovation strategy, then The Open Innovation Revolution is a must read." (Bob Morris, FirstFridayBookSynopsis, 6/15/10)
