Business innovation depends entirely on people, not processes or technology. Deborah Perry Piscione and David Crawley present their formula for transforming organizational culture to foster creative thinking. They draw from consulting experience and successful business case studies to show leaders how to build environments where psychological safety exists, employees embrace risk, and competent teams collaborate effectively. Their approach requires dismantling traditional hierarchical structures and adopting new organizational mindsets. The authors introduce their Improvisational Innovation methodology, which helps companies rapidly develop promising concepts and bring them to market. They demonstrate that disruptive ideas emerge from throughout organizations, not just executive levels. Companies that discourage risk-taking and potential failure will lose competitive advantage. The book provides practical methods for dramatically increasing unconventional thinking within teams and improving prospects for organizational growth and achievement.
