I enjoyed this book-it has a lot of meat applicable for hospitals and other large organizations. Excellent principles and breakdown of how to innovate and transform your organization. The examples of think big, start small and move fast were helpful. I took notes and will need to reread them again. Very helpful book.

A good book. Nothing new (it proposes the use of design thinking, scientific method and project management to innovate) but it was interesting to see how a clinic/hospital is innovating by focusing on the customers.

I was clearly not the target audience for this book. There was a large amount of monotonous listing of facts and details that didn’t seems necessary to convey the point. Gave me a deeper understanding of the medical profession but not necessarily how to innovate.

Motivation for innovation. Mayo clinic thumbs up

I made it through but it was a slog fest. I should have just skipped the first third to half - it was a pat on the back for Mayo. Look at how good we are and the minutiae of our history. Ho-hum. I was really looking for more concrete, usable suggestions and case studies. Probably one of the least useful books I've read in a while.

Well, I had high hopes for this book, but they fell flat. Totally uninspiring and quite frankly, boring. I love business and business books, if they are well done. This one isn't. Don't waste your time.
