How to create innovative organisations?

February sees the launch of my new book, The Road to Innovation co-written with David Gallagher of www.chapterandverse.co.uk who for the last six months has painstakingly helped me dot my i’s and cross my t’s.

The book is as valuable to business and organisation leaders as it is for HR practitioners and employees because it’s a practical guide to the business buzz word de jour ‘Innovation’. Because of the current economic downturn it’s come to even greater prominence and in the boardrooms of large organisations and in meeting rooms of small and medium-sized businesses up and down the country, the call from business owners, directors and managers is unanimous:

“We need more innovation”

But what does innovation mean in the modern business context? Can a business become more innovative? What do these organisations actually want to achieve? How will the leaders in the business make the changes required? And where on earth are they going to start? Innovation isn't embedded into a company’s DNA by reading books on how to brainstorm or play creative thinking games. The Road to Innovation finally gives business leaders clear, practical and actionable insight into the seven key areas that are fundamental to creating a company capable of thinking differently and innovating.
