A new classic, cited by leaders and media around the globe as a highly
recommended read for anyone interested in innovation.
In The Innovator's DNA, authors Jeffrey Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and
bestselling author Clayton Christensen (The Innovator's Dilemma, The
Innovator's Solution, How Will You Measure Your Life?) build on what
we know about disruptive innovation to show how individuals can develop
the skills necessary to move progressively from idea to impact.
By identifying behaviors of the world's best innovators--from leaders at
Amazon and Apple to those at Google, Skype, and Virgin Group--the
authors outline five discovery skills that distinguish innovative
entrepreneurs and executives from ordinary managers: Associating,
Questioning, Observing, Networking, and Experimenting.
Once you master these competencies (the authors provide a
self-assessment for rating your own innovator's DNA), the authors
explain how to generate ideas, collaborate to implement them, and build
innovation skills throughout the organization to result in a competitive
edge. This innovation advantage will translate into a premium in your
company's stock price--an innovation premium--which is possible only by
building the code for innovation right into your organization's people,
processes, and guiding philosophies.
Practical and provocative, The Innovator's DNA is an essential
resource for individuals and teams who want to strengthen their
innovative prowess.
