Dentro de la enorme oferta de libros sobre, para y por la innovación, un aspecto que me gustó mucho de éste es que ofrece un resumen bastante directo de otros libros sobre innovación, y además incluye entrevistas con los autores de esos libros, lo que viene siendo como haber leído 5, 6 libros en una sola exhibición. Entre los libros que se mencionan, destacan
Fast Second: How Smart Companies Bypass Radical Innovation to Enter and Dominate New Markets
The Innovator’s Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail
Competing for the Future y
The Science of Serendipity: How to Unlock the Promise of Innovation.

Para los interesados en el tema de cómo impulsar el pensamiento innovador, vale la pena leerlos todos. En resumen, este libro es bastante bueno aunque, como ocurre con frecuencia con estos temas, corre el riesgo de quedar "pasado de moda" en poco tiempo.

No mundo como conhecemos, há apenas disponíveis dados sobre o passado e quando somos analíticos e nos baseamos nos fatos para olhar o futuro estamos condenados a agir quando o jogo já acabou. A única forma de olhar para o futuro é ter uma teoria ou modelo ou ideia como lente para o futuro. Clay cristenssen

N é mais know how, é know who ( saber quem sabe).

Motor de desempenho, este é o negócio principal da empresa e precisa de eficiência e eficácia, já a inovação é um experimento para o futuro.

'Thinkers 50 Innovation: Breakthrough Techniques to Take Your Business to the Next Level' takes a hot business topic and interviews some of the leaders in the field as determined by the Thinkers 50 thinktank. I found it an interesting read, and see where it could be beneficial to businesses.

Each chapter takes a topic, then interviews a thought leader in that topic. Topics include Leading Innovation, Co-creating the Future and Where Innovation Meets Society. Thought leaders include Don Tapscott, Clay Christensen and Gary Hamel among others. The book is designed as an overview of the current state of innovation and why we are where we are. While not providing a complete roadmap, I think the chapters would be helpful for any company leader looking to add and lead with innovation. Also useful is the changing shape of management and how managers need to evolve in leading their teams.

The interviews are question and answer and are interesting due to the weight most of the leaders provide. The outline of the book is good and I enjoyed reading it. I've read good and bad books on the subject of innovation. This one falls slightly above average in that group. I'd recommend giving it a read if you are looking to drive innovation in your company.

I received a review copy of this ebook from McGraw-Hill Professional and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
