16 Tales of Innovation

“16 Tales of Innovation - Methods, Reflections and Practice” is a collection of innovation cases, focusing on innovation leadership in the context of complexity, and how innovation leadership unfolds in practice. The innovation tales in the book are written by leaders from a range of different organisations, where they reflect on their own innovation stories, as they unfold in everyday organisational life. Each tale builds on most recent innovation theory and research from LAICS, the executive master programme, which all leaders in the book have graduated from. When you read their different innovation stories, you will learn about their professional and personal reflections on and experience with innovation. The book provides an interesting peek into the “machine room” of organisational life and none the least the fascinating journey from innovation in theory to innovation in practice. By reading each tale you will be presented with the various tools, models and processes that were developed and piloted by each of the leaders themselves.
