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
You can prevent failure and increase the odds if you ask the right questions. Building on the lessons from 100s of start-ups and innovations, we have put together a model that covers the most critical questions allowing you to challenge your own Business Model.
How It Works
The UNITE Business Model Scorecard covers the twelve most critical questions to challenge your Business Model. It considers traditional factors, such as costs and revenue, but also things you may not have thought of, such as imitability (how well your Business Model protects your product or service from competitors) and Lock-In Effect (how difficult it is for your customers to switch to an alternative solution once they have adopted yours).
Use the scorecard in the innovation team to challenge your results or use it as an investor to evaluate the quality of a pitch.
What is the goal of the model?
Get investment ready and create an unfair advantage. You can assess two different dimensions with the UNITE Business Model Scorecard. The more obvious one is whether you are investment ready. The second dimension, however, is a deeper one: in many cases, disruptive companies innovate not through their product, but with their Business Model.
This series of questions allows you to evaluate how effective and differentiating your Business Model is, as well as whether it will allow you to scale. Use it to gauge your Business Model ideas and then return to the drawing board, using the UNITE Business Model Canvas to work on your next version.
