Riassunto

Established organizations in the public and private sectors struggle when bringing new, innovative ideas to life. This has resulted in the creation of countless “innovation programs” and initiatives, with many, perhaps most, failing to deliver meaningful results. Many of these initiatives fail because they do not get the momentum they need early on, they start in the wrong place, or they focus on the wrong problems; and creating the wrong type of initiative can doom it before it launches.

This book takes you through a step-by-step approach which will help you select, structure, and create the right type of initiative to nurture new and innovative ideas and ensure they have the best possible chance to succeed. It includes updated insights, and is filled with questions, examples, artifacts, and tools to help you make key choices as you develop a way to ensure new ideas in your organization flourish. It contains information, experience, and anecdotes that will help you identify, anticipate, and overcome not only roadblocks to bringing those ideas to life, but also obstacles to the initiative itself, and includes frameworks to help accelerate your deployment.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Established organizations in both public and private sectors struggle to bring new, innovative ideas to life. Countless innovation programs have mixed track records, with most failing to deliver meaningful results. Many innovation initiatives fail because they do not get the momentum they need early on, they start in the wrong place, they are structured to deliver the wrong type of outcome, or they focus on the wrong problems and assumptions. There are many possibilities, and launching the wrong kind of program can doom an initiative before the first idea is generated.

This book takes you through a step-by-step approach that will enable you to select, structure, and deliver the right type of initiative to nurture and incubate your new and innovative ideas, and ensure that they have the best possible chance to succeed. It discusses what must be considered to properly structure your program, including important differences required when delivering new programs, projects, or public sector initiatives, and insight on additional requirements if your solutions include physical components.
