In today’s episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, I speak with Dr. Max McKeown about his new book, The Innovator’s Book. We spoke about the need to write this book in a different way to the method-heavy textbooks which often are left on shelves and never read.
It is a beautifully written, concise book that I managed to get through in less than two hours, filled with insights on the main jobs which an innovator needs to perform.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- 00:03:00 – The reason why this book was written to be as short as possible
- 00:06:00 – The three jobs of an innovator
- 00:08:00 – The causes for an innovator’s gap
- 00:09:00 – Innovation case studies never begin with the theories outlined in textbooks as the basis of developing their ideas
- 00:12:00 – The challenge of people who want to command and control are becoming the new innovation managers
- 00:17:00 – The difference between real-world innovation and explanations of innovation
- 00:19:30 – Max’s own innovation journey and the importance of keeping up networks and connections to continue his own development
