A must-read for innovators: The Innovation Machine – Jeffrey Baumgartner
The corporate innovation machine is a model for understanding how to implement an effective, idea management based innovation strategy in your firm.
As with any machine, it comprises several components, all of which must work together for the machine to function properly. When the entire machine does work, it builds ideas, evaluates those ideas and implements the best ideas as a new product, service and operational improvements which translate into increased revenues for your firm.
Powered by management
The machine is powered by management. Just as the most sophisticated machine will not run without a power source, likewise your corporate innovation strategy will go nowhere without top management taking the lead.

This is not an easy task but done well it will make the construction of the remainder of the machine a relatively easy job.
