In today's fast-moving, high-technology environment, the focus on
quality has given way to a focus on innovation. From presidents of
the United States to presidents of Fortune 500 companies, it is
clear that everyone thinks innovation is extremely important. The
challenge is that few people stop to define why innovation is
important-to understand what's driving the need for more
innovation. We all agree that more frequent innovation is
important, even necessary. What remains unanswered is why we allow
innovation consultants, elected officials, and business leaders to
tell us innovation is important, but not demonstrate the underlying
reasons why. The three volumes of The Innovation Tools Handbook
cover 76 top-rated tools and methods, from the hundreds available,
that every innovator must master to be successful. Volume I covers
24 creative tools/methodologies most frequently used to change an
organization's structure and operations. It provides a clear
understanding of how all 24 tools are used and the type or results
they can generate, so you can learn to select the right combination
of tools that best meet your organization's needs. This book is the
result of a research study that defined the most efficient,
effective, and frequently used tools in the innovative process. For
each tool described, it provides a definition, identifies the user
of the tool or methodology, explains what phases of the innovation
process the tool is used, describes how the tool is used, supplies
examples of the outputs from the tool, identifies software that can
help you maximize the effectiveness of the tool, and includes
references and suggestions for further reading. Tools and
methodologies covered include: Agile innovation, benchmarking,
business case development, business plans, comparative analysis,
competitive analysis, contingency planning, costs analysis,
financial reporting, focus groups, identifying and engaging
stakeholders, innovation master plan, knowledge management systems,
market research and surveys, organizational change management,
potential investor presentation, project management, S-curve model,
safeguarding intellectual properties, systems thinking, value
propositioning, and visioning.
