It's worth the Money! Well Researched and inclusive!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2017

I teach innovation in a local community and I read every book I can get my kindle on about the subject. This book is fresh with ideas especially around mentoring as a culture that produces innovation. In addition, I am over 50 and I fully support the idea of having mixed teams and the benefits that they bring. While Sandy discusses the power of the millennials, she didn't leave us out of the book. I loved the fact that 1 of 3 new startups are founded by those over 50. We need to bring the discussion of diversity to business outcomes like Sandy did with her factoids on ROI, and greater innovation with increased profit. But we need to start focusing on the full population ... returners, those over 50 , and millennials. The only thing I wish that she had done is to have a few more examples highlighting those over 50 with super innovative businesses. Keep the books coming Sandy!

Do not bother reading this book if you are happy with your work as it is, or if you have no fear of an innovative competitor. Do not bother if you are unafraid of technology warping your current business model or if there is no competitive threat in along your horizon.

Extreme Innovation is for the rest of us.

Extreme Innovation is merely for any business thinker wishing to survive the speed of change being driven by technology and other factors. It is well-written and gives you both global perspective and real-time pragmatic ideas. I particularly like her thoughts on diversity for business success. She looks beyond inclusive of races and genders into diversity of perspective and thought. She interviews people that I consider to be true thought leaders because the blaze trails that others follow and find business success along the way.

5 THUMBS UP: New and Fresh Thoughts on Innovation with usable Frameworks, and Case Studies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2017

I was given an advance copy of Sandy Carter's book Extreme Innovation. I was a bit skeptical as I have read dozens of innovation books in the past. What impressed me about this book was its frameworks and newness of thought. I know about technology but the use cases of using AI and VR to drive innovation in a company was fresh. The timing on her concept of diverse teams and inclusion was fact based-- especially with case studies like Clorox -- showcased the value of the team, the culture and, as Sandy coined the phrase, "cognitive diversity" with a real business outcome -- innovation and ROI. Finally, the concept of ecosystems being part of the innovation fabric was an interesting twist -- given examples of Tesla with its charging stations, and fashion tech like 360 Fashion with its new approach -- that was beyond just tech buzzwords but industry wide applicability. The book is a fast read but my copy is now marked up with highlighter. I am glad she asked me to review this piece of innovative thought!

Highly Recommend! Made me rethink my 2017 Innovation Strategy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2017

Innovation is a topic that I focus on with my business. I believe it is the last competitive advantage. I bought this book to see if there were any new techniques. Even though I am not a technologist, it was interesting to understand how virtual reality is being used in retail stores like Lowe's and in hospitals to calm kids before shots. Both of these showed me how disruptions are happening from big companies to middle size companies like mine. I liked the section on ecosystems as well -- especially the Tesla example. I had thought that ecosystems was for tech companies only. I am rethinking my 2017 business planning due to this book. I do wish there were a few more examples for small companies as well.
