Review
"This excellent guide to implementing new ideas comprises 55 'truths' to get you thinking about what innovation actually means.- Management Today Three of A Kind (this voted best of it's kind) Nov 2008 (readership 303,000)

Product Description

The Truth About Innovation transforms today's most important innovation research into 50 proven "truths". Max Mckeown delivers plain, powerful advice on how to:

  • increase creativity
  • encourage collaboration
  • co-create with customers
  • overcome indifference
  • make ideas into money
  • thrive on change...and much more. 

This is the definitive, evidence-based guide to innovations - a set of bedrock principles you can rely on, regardless of your organization, role or title. Drawing on over 15 years of the author's research, consulting, training and writing experience, it can transform the way you manage innovation and the results achieved. 

The Truth About Innovation provides the guidance you need to overcome the innovation-related problems that all managers face and at the same time improve your managerial effectiveness. 

Part of The Truth About Series, each title covers an entire field of knowledge in a sharp and entertaining way. With approximately 50 honest answers to important questions in every book, you will find yourself thinking ‘aha’ as you read each page.

 

The Truth and nothing but The Truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great as a source of ideas to improve innovation in your team, 14 May 2009
By Jim Smith (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Another great book for dipping in and out of with 55 thought provoking innovation ideas to get you and your team off on a new tack. Each idea is expanded with examples over 2 or 3 pages.

I particularly likes messages about developing your staff (they are where your innovation and differentiation will come from) p 102
Get your team to read (anything really) p81
Hire for learning ability - not what someone can already do p105
Tips to get ideas adopted in your organisation p191

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed full of thought provoking ideas, 2 Jan 2009
By S. Gale "Stephen Gale" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book provides some really useful reading. The book is organised into a series of 55 two to three page "truths" on the subject of innovation. Each of the entries has additional reading material listed in the back of the book which is really useful.

If you have read other innovation books, you may have encountered some of this material before. However, I suspect that it is exactly these readers that will get the most out of this book. It is packed with great tidbits and really thought provoking material. It almost reads as a set of blog entries. Because of the structure of the book, it is very easy to dip in and out of.

If you are new to innovation, you might be better off with another book initially - just to provide a bit of context around the innovation process. Then come back to this book.

It is a well written and well structured book that I suspect that I will come back to time and time again. Recommended.
