Innovation is imperative today. In the face of global competition and the explosion of technology, businesses must decipher the clues that unlock innovation potential. In the new ATD book Solving the Innovation Mystery: A Workplace Whodunit (ATD Press, October 2016), seasoned leadership authority and former FBI agent Steve Gladis solves the innovation equation.Innovation = Talent + Environment + Process. Gladis’s Solving the Innovation Mystery presents this formula for systematic innovation, paving a straight path to commercializing creative workplace solutions. Gladis’s clients at public companies, government agencies, and nonprofits rely on this methodology to remain productive and adaptive.The formula is simple. Take a promising idea; gather talented people who are cognitively diverse, engaged, and have a growth mindset; and put them in an environment that is safe, supportive, and purposeful. Then give them an effective and efficient process that is reliable and repeatable. This precise combination of coaching, problem solving, and entrepreneurial models works.Gladis’s innovation equation has been adapted by government agencies, corporations, and nonprofits of different missions and sizes. “The ‘Innovation Equation’ is simple in its components, but the potential it creates when applied is staggering,” writes ATD president and CEO Tony Bingham in his foreword to Solving the Innovation Mystery.Woven throughout the book is a detective start-up story of sorts to illustrate Gladis’s innovation thesis that a safe, trusting culture is essential for creativity to thrive and for innovation to take root.“It’s time to stop counting on eureka moments that may or may not come and examine the slower-moving truth about how innovation actually happens,” explains Gladis. Solving the Innovation Mystery presents the proven innovation equation that empowers any company to reliably and consistently innovate and adapt to change.Solving the Innovation Mystery is available to librarians, career centers, and other reviewers on NetGalley through October 31, 2016.
