Description - The Open Innovation Revolution by Stefan Lindegaard

Life is not exactly a bed of roses for most innovation leaders and
intrapreneurs?those assertive, innovative, corporate
risk-takers who passionately turn ideas into profitable products.
They take on corporate sacred cows and face down challenges that
would cause less driven and less talented people to quickly throw
their hands down in defeat. They struggle daily to unleash
entrepreneurial thinking while dealing with an army of people
fiercely dedicated to maintaining the status quo.
The question for business leaders is simple: How can innovation
leaders and intrapreneurs freely operate in a corporation that
wants to keep things the way they are? The answer is also
simple?Read The Open Innovation Revolution.
This practical guide reveals that, without the right people to
drive innovation processes, your odds of success shrink
dramatically. And as open innovation becomes the norm, developing
the right people skills?networking, communicating with
stakeholders, building your personal brand and the ability to sell
ideas?is essential for your innovation leaders and
intrapreneurs.
Starting with a foreword from world-changing innovator and
bestselling author Guy Kawasaki, The Open Innovation
Revolution looks closely at:


Open innovation?the visionary model that more and more
companies are adopting

Innovation leaders and intrapreneurs?and the essential
elements that must be put in place for these people to thrive

The people-related roadblocks that can impede innovation and
some ways these can be overcome

The personal leadership skills you will need to develop as an
innovation leader or intrapreneur


Written by innovation thought leader Stefan Lindegaard, The
Open Innovation Revolution helps you know if open
innovation is right for your organization, and then shows you how
to prepare those within your organization to make the leap into the
challenging, new world of open innovation.
