While others talk about the known innovation problem, The Innovation Solution offers a well researched, logical and holistic understanding of the innovation process, taught for many years at several colleges and Universities. The Twenty-first century requires twenty first century solutions. In this groundbreaking book, Praveen Gupta provides an easy to understand, powerful innovation framework for anyone interested in learning about innovation and striving for success at the personal or organizational level. But more than that, it demonstrates that innovation skills can be taught and learned for pursuing ones passion and growth. Gupta has recognized that Innovation is a learned skill, and he has applied Einstein's revolutionary work correlating innovation as a function of ones speed of thought to develop his overall framework. Known as Breakthrough Innovation (or Brinnovation), this framework has combined strategies for success, the Rule of Two, management techniques, measures, return on innovation, a curriculum to jump-start an innovation initiative and the powerful TEDOC methodology (Target, Explore, Develop, Optimize, and Commercialize). Systematically explaining the various aspects of innovation and how they impact companies in the knowledge age, Gupta shares his own experience in what is arguably the most profoundly affecting innovation management book available for the casual reader and seasoned veteran alike. Surprising, challenging, and altogether inspiring, The Innovation Solution is a life-altering guide to jump-starting a dynamic profitable future.

The Business Innovation book, with Foreword by Dipak Jain, Dean, Kellogg School of Management, provides a framework for process of innovation in corporations for introducing new products, services, or solutions faster.** Features -- Powerful new framework called Brinnovation; Types of innovation: Fundament, Platform, Derivative, and Variation; Management of Innovation; Measures of innovation.** Table of Contents -- Part I. Evolving Innovation -- History, Tools, creativity, innovation on demand; Part II. Understanding Innovation -- Brain processes, Framework, Deployment, Measures; Part III. Institutionalizing Innovation -- Service, Protecting, Commercializing, and Managing Innovation; Wisdom of Innovation by Bob Galvin, Former Chairman/CEO of Motorola.** To receive bulk discount, or purchase hardcover version, please visit www.accelper.com.

MAXIMIZE SIX SIGMA BENEFITS WHERE IT MATTERS MOST -- . THE BOTTOM LINE.
. Written for Black Belts and Green Belts alike, Praveen Gupta's "The Six Sigma Performance Handbook" gives results-oriented help with Six Sigma initiatives. With this handbook, Black Belts learn how to optimize performance and sustain breakthrough results while Green Belts receive a quick, straight forward tutorial on the use of the statistical tools which form the bases for six sigma project success. The "Handbook" shows you how to: . Simplify Six Sigma methods for cost-effective implementations that work best in your organization. Implement DMAIC for improved performance of Six Sigma projects. Understand organizational factors that must be exploited, and leadership tools that must be utilized for measurable results. Use simple and powerful tools and processes to sustain a Six Sigma initiative.

. LEARN THE HOW-TO'S THAT MAKE SIX SIGMA PAY OFF.
. Praveen's ideas in The Six Sigma Performance Handbook have given the Six Sigma process a push toward perfection.
-- Tony Schreiber, Director of Quality, Cobra Metal Works..
