Beskrivning
All organizations who are looking to improve performance through embracing new ideas, work in new ways, create new products and services, challenge the status quo or redefine their existing business environment have much to gain from this book. 'Innovating at the Edge' not only provides readers with an informed understanding of the latest developments in innovation practice but also presents them with the bigger picture. This enables them to determine how to build these advances into overall development of their own innovation capabilities and how to capitalize on the benefits available to them.Today as the new economy is brought into line with the old, increasing fragmentation of a global economy drives change across multiple sectors. Organizations operating at the leading edge of the innovation paradigm are adopting a whole new set of approaches to help them redefine the present and build the future.Learn how companies such as Egg, Dyson and Smint are redefining their markets, how organizations such as ARM and Qualcomm are deriving their soaring revenues wholly from licensing, and how firms such as Nokia and Nike are constantly evolving their product portfolios and associated value propositions. These real-life examples provide key lessons for all involved in creating and delivering new businesses, products and services.Readers will understand where all these strands fit within an overall context of innovation evolution, and recognise that the inter-relationships between strategy, process and organization are the key enablers for achieving innovation improvements. Firms can then grasp and appreciate what they need to do in order to emulate these innovation leaders operating at the edge of contemporary practice.

'An exciting and valuable book on how companies can embed innovation in their organizations. Drawing on a wealth of examples, Innovating at the Edge demonstrates compelling insights into the role of innovation in today's leading companies. Tim Jones provides practical advice that managers in both large and small companies can use to implement the latest innovation practices in their organizations'. Stephen Todd, Principal, Pittiglio Rabin Todd & McGrath 'This book is unique in effectively providing a "How to.." for the business capabilities that drive innovation, a complete picture' Richard James, Director, Reuters Business Insight A practical and approachable book for the innovation practitioner, it spans the issues from ideas generation through to delivery and review' Julia H Lofthouse CEng, Innovation Project Manager, Uniqema 'Clearly show that although there's no quick fix solution, all companies can build the capabilities and culture necessary to drive more innovative growth. The rich mix of case studies provides lessons for all - if people share a vision, the right incentives, commercial rigour and a broad enough market radar to explore beyond traditional boundaries they're on the right journey' David Stead, Director, Portfolio Management & Development, KPMG 'An essential insight into the issues driving innovation in today's business environment' Terry Goodwin, Director, Product & Market Development, Corus Colors 'In an easily readable format, this British consultant organizes his message into three major parts...his pragmatic insights are coupled with critical incidents of companies who manage to succeed on the leading edge of their markets. The author unveils a blueprint for a futuristic corporation or association to build the capabilities and culture that keep them ahead of their peers. Philip R Harris, management psychologist, USA I cannot recommend this fantastic new book by Dr Tim Jones highly enough. In elegant and unpretentious language he gently guides the reader through the latest developments in an admirably wide range of fields, from industry and finance to sport and commerce.
