It allows individuals to step outside themselves and raise questions and concerns that effectively kill new projects and ideas, while claiming no personal responsibility. Nothing is more potent in stifling innovation. <BR>Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience managing IDEO, Kelley identifies ten roles people can play in an organization to foster innovation and new ideas while offering an effective counter to naysayers. Among these approaches are the A"nthropologist--"the person who goes into the field to see how customers use and respond to products, to come up with new innovations; the" Cross-pollinator" who mixes and matches ideas, people, and technology to create new ideas that can drive growth; and the" Hurdler," who instantly looks for ways to overcome the limits and challenges to any situation. <BR>Filled with engaging stories of how companies like Kraft, Procter and Gamble, Cargill and Samsung have incorporated IDEO's thinking to transform the customer experience, THE TEN FACES OF INNOVATION is an extraordinary guide to nurturing and sustaining a culture of continuous innovation and renewal.</p><br/> 0.8 437 Y http://media.800ceoread.com/view/9780385512077/image/coverart REG 0385512074 English N 9.62 No Book 273 2995 active 2005-10-01 2995 Broadway Business no Business, Economics, Finance Available 1 9780385512077 2010-02-02T21:52:22-06:00 1.34 6.33
