5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended as a purchase, worth the investment!

I completely re-evaluated the role of innovation in business growth: before reading this book I have to admit I thought it only entailed product new features and technologies enhancements, while now I see it has everything to do with meeting customer needs and uncovering a business USP, which automatically translates in sales! Could not recommend it more!

Unlike most business innovation books I read over the last years (and even decades) when reading How to create innovation you immediately understand the authors have been there, innovating and transforming some of the world's most amazing brands. Great work!

Not only this book offers the most comprehensive innovation and business change overview but it really helps you take the next step, driving you step by step from theory to practice (also with super useful background notes and driving questions)

I really enjoyed the whole book, but mostly the culture chapter, mainly because I always failed to acknowledge its major role in favouring or inhibiting business growth. Loved the graphics that helped connect all the dots in a visually appealing (and way easier) way.

We’been willing to innovate our business for some years now, but then we always got stuck before we even started, because basically we had no idea where to start…This book helped us do just that: find the right starting point with guiding questions and an incredibly comprehensive innovation overview.

Why we use it

It is impossible today to talk about innovation or transformation without highlighting the integrated nature of the key building blocks, including strategy, ecosystem and Business Models; culture, engagement and experience; process and structure; technology and data; and Value Proposition and Value Chain.

At the same time, many people think that digitalization is limited to technology, design or processes. This is not the case. In fact, we have to consider and understand digitalization as a holistic effort.

How It Works

The diagram contains the key dimensions of any larger digitalization effort. If you undertake a larger innovation or transformation initiative, these are the items you should be considering, and which you will have to work on sooner or later.
The UNITE building blocks of digitalization also help you assess where you stand: have you considered all building blocks? Did you cover everything you have to? You can almost use the tool as a high-level health check, covering each area in order to understand how far you have gotten in your strategy, planning, execution and change-management.

What is the goal of the model?

“True digitalization is a systemic endeavor.”. While the digitization of analogue information and processes is a crucial first step to digitalizing an organization, it takes a paradigm shift to fully understand the total landscape of digitalization.
