Right now, if you flip the coin of innovation inside large companies it keeps coming up "heads" or "data". Many companies can be described as addicted to quantitative research data and caught in The Precision TrapSM. Nobody wants to make a mistake and often, people are uncertain what to do, so a quest for precision rules the day and the fire of innovation smolders.
I believe the "tails" side of the innovation coin, or "intuition," needs to play a far larger role in the process of creating a company's next generation revenue streams.
This book is about helping those who want to excel at innovation play a two-sided coin. It will help you increase the odds of success and move faster with fewer company resources. It will help you transform the potential of your big marketing innovation. Importantly, it will also help you lower both your blood pressure and career risk as you navigate the ups and downs that are very much a part of the innovation roller coaster ride.

The Professor speaks!,
This review is from: Lessons From the Vinyl Sofa: The Street Smart Way to Win At Innovation (Innovation) (Hardcover)
I am a witness to the real-life genius of Peter Murane's "Lessons from the Vinyl Sofa". Peter's methodologies described in the book are very innovative, as evidenced by the many clients and portfolio companies which have received Peter's expertise. I like to call him "The Professor" because his Lessons have proven to be extraordinary to building businesses beyond just his brilliant text.

Do you have the Courage to Innovate? [What You Need to Know],
This review is from: Lessons From the Vinyl Sofa: The Street Smart Way to Win At Innovation (Innovation) (Hardcover)
In this ultra-competitive world, Innovation has become (wisely so) the most talked about, and only true advantage. It's THE WAY out of the ordinary, to a truly winning business. Fact is, you can either work hard from now until your business fades away or work hard to Truly Innovate in advance, and enjoy a meteoric ride.
It's really your call. Long and hard or hard and fun, easy, lucrative. Hence the reason why there is a LOT written about Innovation to choose from. And some good information from wise people. But open "Lessons" and just turn to page 12 and you'll see the difference between this "street wise" book and so many other "tales of innovation." On this page you'll see the hand drawn visual of what is by most all accounts, THE most time-tested, success proven, system to true winning innovation. Where so many authors and experts have spun tall tales of Innovation, Peter Murane gives you the facts and a system to get the job done. Where seem to want to glorify and treat you like an 8 year old, celebrating every finger painting you make, Peter shows you how to quickly and efficiently find what TRULY MATTERS... what's innovation the makes an impact. The point is to get to the High-Impact result quickly, with the lowest cost without having to pay the high price the comes from being too emotionally connected or living in self-deception because that feels better than the truth. In this guide to True (Profit Driving) Innovation, Peter Murane shares the truth about the hard, often grueling work of innovation that can only come from having done it, successfully, over and over and over. Hence, I ask you... do YOU have the COURAGE to Innovate? If you want to find out, get this book. If you want to live in self-deception, DO NOT get this book. Here's to your strength, courage and the massive success it will bring with you apply this system of True Innovation. ~ Shawn Phillips ~ [...]
