The aim of this book is to provide you with the smallest number of things you need to know to start building an innovation management capability that creates value in your organisation.
This is somewhat challenging, because innovation management is a relatively new discipline. It doesn’t have the history of, say, marketing or accounting. As a result, there isn’t really a body of practical experience which permits practitioners to say “this is the right way!”. Instead, innovators are often forced to make it up as they go along.
Sometimes, what they’ve tried has worked, but more often than not, it hasn’t. The result is innovation is seen as a discipline which lacks a little something in the way of credibility.
Some of us, though, have been working hard to create reliable and repeatable processes that work for large organisations. This has taken us on a journey that’s led to an unmistakable conclusion: you must treat innovation as a business process, and it needs to earn its place amongst other mission critical processes – like marketing and accounting – in organisations.
The Little Innovation Book is a collection of essays based on my writing on innovation over the last four years. It encapsulates much of the learning I’ve had driving innovation in various large organisations such as Microsoft and Lloyds Banking Group, and attempts to distil this into a set of topics that anyone considering an innovation effort will find useful.
I hope you’ll enjoy The Little Innovation Book, and that you find it useful in your innovation efforts. I certainly enjoyed the creative processes involved in writing it.

brinkka2011 says: I have a comment right here although not about this post, it really is regarding the website layout. I believe you should alter every now and then to generate it intersting to folks.
You should really think better about naming your page titles. You should consider putting keywords in them so Google will find and rank your post page higher. I am not trying to be an ass but I am just trying to help. For example, what do you think you can improve on Preface | Little Innovation Book . Again, just trying to help here

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
