For me there are two good reasons why I think ‘CRACKING THE INNOVATION CODE’ by Dr Andy Wynn, is a good book.
First, it has really enhanced and reinforced my own understanding of the realities of commercial based innovation and the best way to successfully develop new or improved products. Sharing his experiences, Andy Wynn clearly establishes that the management of innovation is as much dependent on both the culture and the commercial environment within a company as it is on the tools and methodologies that he adeptly uses to manage the experience and process. It’s refreshing to report that there has been no attempt to shoehorn the management of innovation into some kind of restrictive, complex and micromanaged process or restrictive methodology! - a major plus.
The second reason for welcoming this book to my bookcase is that when appropriate, I like to recommend or suggest textbooks to my postgraduate Innovation Management students. With this book, Dr Wynn has created an excellent resource for students, that unlike many a ‘recommended reading’ - is one that the student will want to take with them into their working lives – therefore creating a very valuable and professional asset to turn to when the need arises.
