دانلود کتاب برنده نوآوری – چگونه تعالی نوآوری یک نماد صنعت را به سمت موفقیت پایدار سوق می دهد

Loud rock music blasted from Pete’s oversized speakers. I was fxed on a video of an old cycling race that was playing on a small screen in front of my winter bike-training class. To my left were a bunch of young bike racers who certainly would have dropped me if we were training on a road. To my right were riders who struggled like me. Although I’d seen the video of the Giro d’Italia at Pete Gladden’s training class often enough to remember every single stage winner, it helped me focus as the 18-minute drill reached its climax. When the drill ended, we spent our three-minute break mostly panting and laughing at jokes my friend John cracked from the back row. As my eyes wandered from the video to the falling snow outside, it hit me: My next book would be a busi­ness novel that lets me combine my passion for cycling, innovation, and operational excellence. I’ll place the action in northern Italy and combine beautiful scenery with the exhilaration of bike racing. Tere will be great food and wine, and maybe I can even work into the plot my passion for skiing.

By the end of the winter training, the complete book had come together in my head. Maybe the old Greek philosophers were right when they said that exercise stimulates the brain. T e story would address all principles of lean innovation—from lean startup to mass design, from knowl­edge management to standard work, and from respect for people to humble leadership—and I’d illustrate the principles with compelling examples. I’d also show the complete innovation process, from the formation of an idea to counting the money.
