Innovating with Impact

In an era where Innovation is like oxygen Ted Ladd and Alessandro Lanteri have written an excellent book on innovation - the cutture, the mindset, the methods, the tools to drive innovation and have an impact.

With a compelling mix of cutting-edge insights and practical framing, Ladd and Lantieri have produced a truly remarkable book. It equips readers with the tools to drive innovation across a wide array of contexts - in their organizations, in society, and ultimately, in themselves. While highly pragmatic in nature, the book's interdisciplinary focus provides a comprehensive perspective on innovation's role in the world. The end result is a truly engaging read that will leave you more thoughtful, more creative, and better prepared for the challenges of the modern business environment -- Matt Johnson, PhD, author * Branding That Means Business *
Innovation has been a buzzword in management for several years and navigating the fog of definitions, approaches and theories has been daunting. Until Ladd and Lanteri came up with a brilliant, theoretically rigorous and practical book, which should integrate the reading list of students, business leaders and policy makers, to guide them to think of innovation as a future ready concept. Innovating with Impact is not just a title but a true contribution to a new understanding on why innovation matters -- Dr. Mark Esposito, Professor at Hult International Business School and author * The AI Republic *
