Work with the targeted innovation process consists of activities in five areas: stating the problem in a way that encourages creative problem solving, learning and understanding different problem-solving styles, learning and understanding creative pathways and their relationship to problem solving, generating ideas, and evaluating those ideas.

Targeted innovation reconciles creativity with management. Managers can use it to solve problems that meet their organization's call for innovative answers to current challenges.

This book is an excellent demonstration of the principles of high-involvement innovation—quite simply, without the help of a great many people it would not have been possible to produce it! I am grateful to many friends and colleagues for their help and encouragement and would like to take this opportunity to say a large ‘thank you’ to all of them.

In particular I would like to mention the various members of the CIRCA team at the University of Brighton—Steve Webb, John Gilbert, Jane Burnell, Sarah Caffyn, Maeve Gallagher, Sarah Austin, Jeff Readman, Michael Vaag and, of course, Pauline Nissen, who held the whole project together, ran the Network and was always around to ensure that the project stayed on a continuously improving trajectory. In the same vein, I owe a debt to the many members of the CIRCA and CENTRIM networks who shared the company perspective on high-involvement innovation and who taught me a great deal about how the problems of implementation emerge and are handled in practice.

A.Jolly - Harnessing Creativity for Business Growth (Книга PDF)

Few UK businesses can develop and grow sustainably by making and selling commodity products. Some rail against this – but it is a reality. And excitingly it’s a reality that often leads to greater success for businesses that embrace it by offering added value products and services. Design is a key factor in adding that value and differentiating businesses from local, national and international competition. Design Council research (National Survey, 2002) demonstrates a clear link between the way a company understands and uses design and its business performance. For example, 91 per cent of rapidly growing companies use design, compared with 49 per cent of businesses overall. Introducing new products or services is crucial to business growth. So it is not surprising that 83 per cent of growing UK businesses have done just that in the past three years. Perhaps the surprise is that some companies are not even trying. The evidence is that only 17 per cent of companies that had stayed the same size had introduced anything new. You cannot help wondering how long they will be in business. This book breaks down innovation into three parts: Inspire, Create, Connect. This reflects the Design Council and DTI Living Innovation project, which analysed the processes used by a number of the Design Council’s Millennium Product companies. At its crudest, innovation is simply about doing something new. What design brings to the party is an ability to connect bright ideas to real customer needs: producing great products and services that delight customers. Growing companies recognise a clear connection between design and sales: 75 per cent of them say that design played a part in their sales growth. Sadly, most companies that hadn’t grown also could not see a role for design in increasing their sales.

Clayton M. Christensen - The Innovator's Solution (Книга CHM)

Christensen (The Innovator's Dilemma) analyzes the strategies that allow corporations to successfully grow new businesses and outpace the other players in the marketplace. Christensen's earlier book examined how focusing on profits can destroy even well-run corporations, while this book focuses on companies expanding by being "disruptors" who are able to outpace their entrenched competition. The authors (Christensen is a professor at Harvard Business School and Raynor, a director at Deloitte Research) examine the nine business decisions integral to growth, including product development, organizational structure, financing and key customer base. They cite such companies as IBM, AT&T, Sony, Microsoft and others to illustrate their points. Generally, the writing is clear and specific. For example, in discussing whether a company has the resources necessary for growth, the authors say, "In order to be confident that managers have developed the skills required to succeed at a new assignment, one should examine the sorts of problems they have wrestled with in the past. It is not as important that managers have succeeded with the problem as it is for them to have wrestled with it and developed the skills and intuition for how to meet the challenge successfully the next time around"; they then provide a real-life example of a software company. Similar important strategies give readers insights that they can use in their own workplaces. People looking for quick fixes may find the charts, diagrams and extensive footnotes daunting, but readers familiar with more technical business management tomes will find this one both stimulating and beneficial.

Innovation is more urgently necessary than it's ever been. Now, three leading experts on commercializing innovation systematically sort through the wreckage of yesterday's strategies, learning lessons and identifying ideas worth preserving and adapting. To prepare this book, the authors thoroughly examined the record of more than 250 innovation programs from organizations of widely differing sizes and industries, from 1998 through 2003. Based on this unprecedented research, they reveal the right time to use each innovation 'arrow', how to account for contingencies and risks; and how to focus on core innovation challenges -- not just superficial symptoms. Along the way, the authors define a focused, integrated model for innovation: one that is more nuanced and complex, but also better-grounded, more durable, and far more effective.

Geoffrey A. Moore - Crossing the Chasm (Книга PDF)

Author Geoffrey Moore makes the case that high-tech products require marketing strategies that differ from those in other industries. His chasm theory describes how high-tech products initially sell well, mainly to a technically literate customer base, but then hit a lull as marketing professionals try to cross the chasm to mainstream buyers. This pattern, says Moore, is unique to the high-tech industry.
