Innovation Engineering
Author: Ikhlaq Sidhu
Publisher: Version
ISBN: 9781733431705
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Innovation Engineering is a practical guide to creating anything new - whether in a large firm, research lab, new venture or even in an innovative student project. As an executive, are you happy with the return on investment of your innovative projects? As an innovator, do you feel confident that you can navigate obstacles and achieve success with your innovative project? The reality is that most innovation projects fail. The challenge in developing any new technology, application, or venture is that the innovator must be able to "execute while also learning". Innovation Engineering, developed and used at UC Berkeley, provides the tactical process, leadership, and behaviors necessary for successful innovation projects. Our validation tests have shown that teams which properly use Innovation Engineering accomplished their innovative projects approximately 4X faster than and with higher quality results. They also on-board new team members faster, they have much fewer unnecessary meetings, and they even report a more positive outlook on the project itself. Inter-woven between the chapters are real-life case studies with some of the world's most successful innovators to provide context, patterns, and playbooks that you can follow. Highly applied, and very realistic, Innovation Engineering builds on 30 years of technology innovation projects within large firms, advanced development labs, and new ventures at UC Berkeley, in Silicon Valley, and globally. If your goal is to create something new and have it successfully used in real life, this book is for you.
