"The Innovator's Toolkit" explains all the fundamental tools and concepts anyone involved in innovation should be familiar with, including improving products and services, and developing new ones. The book is written in an easy-to-use reference format that helps users understand why, when, and how to apply each tool. The tools and techniques in this book are organized around a 4-step innovation methodology: Define, Discover, Develop, and Demonstrate (D4), which takes readers through problem identification, then flows into idea generation, idea selection and, finally, idea implementation. This revised second edition adds a new Part I for leaders, with 7 new chapters. This will be all new material summarizing the state-of-art practice for those charged with leading and managing innovation in their organizations. The authors will present the best thinking on a number of managerial dimensions currently published and purported from siloes--for example, the best, latest, and greatest on innovation portfolio development, human talent management, innovation culture, and innovation deployment. To summarize, a new edition of "The Innovator's Toolkit" with these proposed changes would meet a very important need for knowledge that can help innovation leaders and managers do their jobs better, while also retaining the compendium of practical tools and techniques that can be readily applied by leaders, managers, and practitioners alike.
