Publisher's Synopsis
"Innovation" is the big buzzword of the day. You'd be hard pressed to find an annual report that doesn't mention the word somewhere. But what is "innovation?" Where does it come from? How can organizations do it consistently and successfully in an ever-changing, chaotic world? The answer is simplicity. Note that "simple" does not mean "easy." Simple is about clarifying the complex. Simplicity is empowering. Complexity is debilitating. Simplicity creates clarity. Complexity creates confusion. Simplicity is fun. Complexity should be banned by international law as a form of torture. This book will provide three things: 1) Fundamental principles of innovation, backed by rigorous research, that apply universally to any organization. 2) Over fifty different tools for you to pick and choose, to help you simplify your approach to innovation and clarity to the chaos. 3) Entertainment and fun. Brussels sprouts jokes. Most of us spend the majority of our awake hours working. We should lighten up and enjoy it. Seriously, how many business books can say they make Brussels sprout jokes? Simplify to innovate. And enjoy the ride.
