| The
Innovation Equation is a remarkable book. The thing
that stunned me was how exactly "on target" it is
for issues that we are grappling with right now. The book fills
a critical need. Organizations are now preoccupied with continuous
learning and continuous improvement just to survive. The critical
competency is innovation. The Innovation Equation provides a
straight forward way to increase innovation within an organization. |

The model
is a quick, easy way to check out your approach to creativity.
The creative innovative process is a balance of the intuitive
and the rational. By working with the information in this book,
you can discover, explore, learn and develop your own personal
approach to creativity and innovation.
Creativity is accumulative. The more creative you are, the more
you will be able to create! |

| Practical
in so many ways, this book should top your reading chart if
you are at all interested in the business of being more innovative
-- or coaching others here. I use the term "business"
because innovation is no longer a soft skill, but one that drives
organizational success. Leaders, consultants or anyone with
a bent for enhancing innovation will find this book poignant
and applications-driven. Because of what Byrd and Brown have
done to make innovation more generously abundant with finer
ingredients, the title of this book could almost be called The
Innovation Recipe: New and Improved! My hats off to Byrd and
Brown for their skillful treatment of a subject whose time has
come and whose value is in the here and now. |
