Recommendation

Although countless books explain why innovation matters and how to benefit from it, few address the reasons that companies and individuals don’t innovate successfully. That’s where this volume comes in. Jeff Lindsay, Cheryl Perkins and Mukund Karanjikar provide many examples of corporate, political and structural barriers that block innovation, the forces that smother it, and the organizational and social factors that make it difficult. Their analytical book expertly blends research and firsthand perspectives. Though the authors are somewhat fond of jargon and coined terms, their guide is a welcome addition to the innovation canon. getAbstract recommends it to innovators, human resources professionals and executives who want to inoculate their companies against the disease of innovation fatigue.

Take-Aways

  • Innovators in a firm are like immigrants in a strange land: They aren’t fluent in the internal lingo and they find it difficult to get new ideas accepted.
  • “Innovation fatigue” prevents many would-be innovators from generating new ideas.
  • Stress, impatience, theft, red tape, lack of recognition and a weak vision of the future can cause innovation fatigue inside your firm.
