Publisher Description
You can be as innovative and impactful — if you can change your behaviors to improve your creative impact. In The Innovator’s DNA, authors Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregersen, and bestselling author Clayton M. Christensen (The Innovator’s Dilemma, The Innovator’s Solution) build on what we know about disruptive innovation to show how individuals can develop the skills necessary to move progressively from idea to impact. By identifying behaviors of the world’s best innovators — from leaders at Amazon and Apple to those at Google, Skype, and Virgin Group — the authors outline five discovery skills that distinguish innovative entrepreneurs and executives from ordinary managers: Associating, Questioning, Observing, Networking, and Experimenting. Once you master these competencies, the authors explain how you can generate ideas, collaborate with colleagues to implement them, and build innovation skills throughout your organization to sharpen its competitive edge. That innovation advantage can translate into a premium in your company’s stock price — an innovation premium — that is possible only by building the code for innovation right into your organization’s people, processes, and guiding philosophies. Practical and provocative, The Innovator’s DNA is an essential resource for individuals and teams who want to strengthen their innovative prowess.

"Love Clayton Christensen (co-wrote it) and found the "discovery" vs "delivery" skills framework a useful way to compare and contrast larger company CEOs to entrepreneurs."

" Informative, but not nearly as awesome as the Innovator's Dilemma. "
— Marc, 1/19/2014 -
" A typical HBR publication - a bit repetitive, but with solid examples and ideas to improve your own innovation factors. "
— Adrienne, 1/19/2014 -
" A few good ideas and packed in here with about 200 pages of filler. Read the first three pages of each chapter then skip to the next and you'll get as much out of this book as I did. "
— Phil, 1/11/2014 -
" Nice thoughts about innovation. Some good ways to come up with creative ideas. Well written. Seems to be written for business people more than creative writers, photographers, designers, etc., though they could learn a thing or two by reading it. "
— Charles, 12/30/2013 -
" Innovation isn't just about being creative, it's about building the right skills. Anyone can be "innovative" if they practice the right skills to get there. "
— Jonathan, 12/23/2013 -
" Practical and meaningful insights into becoming more innovative. "
— Brandon, 12/19/2013 -
" This is a good book for skimming. The entire concept, action plan & tips would have made just a few pages or a chapter at most. Good concepts. Best to borrow from the library instead of purchase. "
— Dianna, 12/11/2013 -
" Great ideas here. Inspiring but somewhat repetitive. Good business read. "
— Alison, 3/25/2013 -
" Pretty good overview of what it takes to be an "innovator". Recommended. "
— Brandon, 12/5/2012 -
" Meh. Our CEO always talks about this book, but I think your time would be better spent thinking about new ideas and innovations themselves. I think I'll stay away from this genre. "
— Caitlin, 10/5/2012 -
" Initially I thought this book was just like The Innovator's Dilemma, however the authors have really done their research, and identified companies and individuals that have a way of doing things that keep producing innovations. "
— Derek, 6/29/2012 -
" Good, but nothing earth-shattering here. "
— Jane, 4/17/2012
