Russell R. Coyner Executive Director, BIFMA International Having used Planned Innovation in a variety of businesses of all different sizes, and under several conditions, I find it applies and is successful wherever there is a serious management commitment. The results are dramatic. -- Review

4.0 out of 5 stars A practical set of rules for a new project manager, May 3, 1998
By 
Dr. David Arelette (Yarrambat, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Achieving Planned Innovation: A Proven System for Creating Successful New Products and Services (Hardcover)
This is a book that I wish I had 10 years ago when I was starting out managing major business development projects - the checklist model is sound and works to cut away risks.

It has an engineering bias but can be refocused to business development - but this requires some existing experience of project management to secure the maximum benefit.

If there is a negative, the book is a little thin - both in size and in business examples.

It is worth a place in a serious project manager type of business role.
