Innovation Engine
Driving Execution for Breakthrough Results

Innovation is in high demand today. At the same time, it is often both misunderstood and lacking in committed sponsorship. While methodologies like the balanced scorecard are applied with great success to monitor and manage the key performance drivers in organizations, today's teams need an innovation scorecard that effectively works in tandem with their performance/operations management. Balancing theory and practice with real-life case studies, Innovation Engine explores the process of innovation execution for organizations of any type and any shape.

Derived largely from author Jatin Desai's global experience using and teaching the DeSai body of knowledge over the past twenty-five years, Innovation Engine shows you how to prepare and grow your organization in a hyperdynamic and globally connected environment, through foresight and strategic innovation.
