Description
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.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Reviews highlight its focus on execution, distinguishing it from other books on innovation. It's described as a practical guide for CEOs and entrepreneurs and is noted for its excellent in-depth case studies and clear writing.
