Aus dem Klappentext

"Innovation" is surely on track to become one of the most overused and meaningless buzzwords of the decade. Yet, everyone agrees that successful innovation is critical to our survival, growth, and prosperity.

It's the thing that every leader demands, yet many don't understand why they need it, or even what it is. Despite the real competitive threat, many organizations, big and small, let the bureaucracy maintain the status quo by "celebrating" innovation, instead of truly welcoming it. So what is innovation, exactly, and how can leaders stop giving mere lip service to this crucial concept and start putting it into practice to achieve tangible results? Fearless Innovation lays out the principles and practices that will separate those who will perish from those who will thrive.

Readers won't find business jargon, vague buzzwords, or meaningless flowcharts crowding the pages of Fearless Innovation. Instead, Alex Goryachev presents simple yet proven practices that can help transform any business into an innovation machine. Provocative case studies from across industries demonstrate how these principles translate into measurable impact in the real world.
