I’ve contributed to a new book: “Innopreneur”, compiled and published Ton Langeler, who just happens to be an MIH Associate in the Netherlands. My chapter is on “Innovation in Social Enterprise” and it draws on my experience from the Village SOS project in Tideswell and my “day job” of helping companies to innovate more effectively and efficiently. There are 100 other contributors all with their own slant on innovation, and the profits go to a charity promoting the use of microcredits for start-up businesses as a way out of poverty.
You can find out more and buy the book here or read on:
The delivery of innovation is a business supernova. It’s the ultimate form of cumulative energy; an explosion of collaboration, a unifier of disparate activities and a creator of synergy among multiple areas of expertise. It’s also a challenge—one that requires its practitioners to convince others that change, innovation’s defining characteristic, is not only good, but necessary. What does it really take to deliver new products and services? This book wants to inform and inspire you with short and fresh articles on the reflection, action and reassessment that is at the heart of effective innovation and entrepreneurship.
“Innopreneur: 101 Chronicles on How Circumstance, Preparation and Brilliance Advance Innovation” is a collection of short and inspirational views from multinational executives, political leaders, renowned professors, and in-the-trenches professionals on what it takes to become a successful innovator in daily life. Whether an experienced entrepreneur, a seasoned marketing or R&D manager, or one small person with a big idea and the know-how to bring it to market, you’ll gain insight into what it takes to create something sustainable with long-term demand.
