Editorial Reviews

Review

Finally a book that looks at all dimensions of innovation.

True innovation exists in various forms, but a true visionary innovator dives deep into territories of the unknown identifying white space opportunities in-order to emerge with wildly innovative ideas or concepts which change the world. Collins clearly understands this and the need to find the visionary innovator within one's own-self as a key starting point in building a successful hub of innovation.

-Brian Denker, VP & Global Head - Growth, Innovation and Leadership; Frost & Sullivan

Ignore the title. It sounds like a very complicated subject matter. In fact,this is in the league of Dale Carnegie, and Napoleon Hill. If you want to see a clear path to becoming an effective change agent in you own life as well as your working world,this is an easy to understand explanation of "How to make your life better, from where ever you are"
