‘‘Part memoir and lessons learned, part ‘how to’ guide. ‘Cracking the Innovation Code’ provides a framework to identifying and resolving the ‘internal factors’ holding your organization back from realizing maximum revenue growth from R&D investments. It will be the first book I hand to new leaders.’’ Philip Clark, Global Technical Director, Automotive and Aerospace Division, 3M
‘‘Most books in this space only focus on the theories behind innovation. This book states clearly what the challenges are and how to overcome them.’’ Maurits van Tol, Chief Technology Officer, Johnson Matthey
‘‘The author’s latest book is once again a pragmatic reinforcement that successful businesses not only foster a culture of innovation, but also have strong processes and checks in place to ensure successful new product development and deployment. A great read.’’ Dominic Greensmith, President of Advanced Technology Group, DPS Engineering
“There are so many books on innovation out there it’s confusing where to start, ‘Cracking the Innovation Code’ sweeps all that aside and tells you like it is, no fancy jargon, no ‘get rich quick’ schemes, just practical business truths. Refreshing to see some honesty in this genre for a change.’’ Robert Park, Managing Director, TPPS Investment Casting
