Ireland, with its astonishing wealth of writers, poets and wits - almost all of them superb conversationalists - and its long tradition of famous bards and mystics, kings and warriors, priests and patriots, holds an unassailable position as the birthplace of geniuses. Written in celebration of a land whose green beauty is matched only by the humour and sagacity of its people, and the welcome they offer to all who care to seek them out. For the great Gaels of Ireland Are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, And all their songs are sad. G.K. Chesterton

Innovation may be the hottest discipline around today, in business circles and beyond. And for good reason. Innovation transforms companies and markets. It is the key to solving vexing social problems. And it makes or breaks professional careers. For all the enthusiasm the topic inspires, however, the practice of innovation remains stubbornly impenetrable. No longer. In this book the author draws on stories from his research and field work with companies like Procter & Gamble to demystify innovation. He presents a simple definition of innovation, breaks down the essential differences between types of innovation, and illuminates innovation's vital role in organizational success and personal growth. This unique hybrid of professional memoir and business guidebook also provides a powerful 28-day program for mastering innovation's key steps: (1) Finding insight, (2) Generating ideas, (3) Building businesses, and (4) Strengthening innovation prowess in workforces and organizations. Using several illustrative case studies and vignettes from a range of companies around the globe, this playbook teaches people how to turn themselves or their companies into true innovation powerhouses.
