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
Most organizations do not consider all of the key dimensions of strategy. This straightforward but highly effective model allows you to gain a holistic perspective and start on a solid foundation.
How It Works
Use the UNITE perspectives on strategy as a basis for your thinking or use it in a workshop. Follow the four critical perspectives of what you want to do, what is relevant to do, what you should do, and what you can do.
Thinking about the UNITE perspectives on strategy helps us shift the paradigm of our thinking: innovation and transformation initiatives are not limited to one process or part—rather we have to consider a much more holistic picture.

If you stick to a much more limited view on strategy, you may see a good deal of action, but you will ultimately get limited change, and you will end up with a lack of lasting results.
What is the goal of the model?
Successful strategy design. Strategy is not limited to one perspective or layer of your business. The UNITE perspectives on strategy encourage us to consider all key perspectives on strategy and reflect on our organizational and strategic design at a more profound level.
