In this book, the authors argue that the most successful everyday innovators break down the process into six manageable steps:

1. Divide the labour;
2. Assemble the dedicated team;
3. Manage the partnership;
4. Formalise the experiment;
5. Break down the hypothesis;
6. Seek the truth.

The Other Side of Innovation codifies this staged approach in a variety of contexts. It delivers a proven step-by-step guide to executing (launching, managing, and measuring) more modest but necessary innovations within large firms without disrupting their bread-and-butter business.
