Your team wants to change the world. Let them!

All humans have an innate drive to make great things. In The Innovation Mindset, Jennifer Kenny shows you exactly how to implement practices that will drive greater innovation, differentiate your products and solutions through better innovation, and maximize the innovation capacity of your team.

With her 25 years of experience in innovation practices that have driven measurable and sustainable results for customers, Kenny can prove that even the most complex technical industries—from robotics to medical research to international finance—can maximize success through empathetic innovation interventions.

Kenny’s Six Step Practice Model gives you a tangible ladder to climb by first discovering the innovative drive within yourself and then harnessing it to build a cooperative ecosystem designed to celebrate unplanned discoveries.

Her Three Levels of Innovation Capacity teaches you how innovation not only upscales the impact of your team but also the caliber and reach of your products and services.

Her revolutionary design-thinking and regenerative leadership frameworks give you the language and the road map to steer your business towards a buzzing, thriving future where “Eureka!” moments are the norm.

Very very unique
There are just so many books to read, new ones coming out all the time. I can’t recommend this one highly enough though, because it’s completely unique. The author breaks down innovation into a really understandable and accessible process that literally anyone can follow, and gives you the tools and support you need to start taking immediate action to just be better at innovating. Perhaps most importantly, there’s minimal ‘selling of ideas’ going on here, she doesn’t need to be ‘right’ all the time, but she just sort of is.

Do you want to do something really big? Create a new product or service? Develop a new ecosystem?

Jennifer Kenny M.Sc. D.I.C. (She/her) 's new book The Innovation Mindset provides clear models and proven key practices you can use to get the most from yourself and your team - critical Human Innovation.

A few of my take aways
1. Admit that adulting is a game. Stop the silly pretense that we're in control and have all the answers.
2. Get back to basics (perhaps a new frame of reference for some) - Who is my customer? How will they be satisfied?
3. Learn to make effective offers.
4. Lead by managing commitments rather than tasks.
5. Build and leverage trust, empathy and mastery as the cornerstones for interdisciplinary innovation.

I’ve been a technology executive for many years, and I’ve worked in industries that prize innovation above just about anything. I ordered this book, devoured it, and ordered more copies to give to my colleagues. Democratizing Innovation is an unbelievably powerful concept, and this book takes something that has an entrenched ‘ivory tower’ connotation and breaks it down into straightforward steps that not only offer the potential to drive a massive shift in innovation capacity but also to elevate the sense of purpose and satisfaction that people get from their work at every level. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who is tasked with leading smart and ambitious people who want to make great things happen!

This management book goes backward and forward in time- what were older management theories (eg. the assembly line) and what are the modern ones needed to replace them, in a time of AI, smartphones, and instant connectivity? The essence is that we should no longer look to products and software for the solutions, but rather begin with growing people, empathy, and working from the perspective of our customers. The latter shifts the balance of power in organizations and helps them balance our current state of work. Valuable reading for all managers and teams!

5.0 out of 5 stars "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023

Jennifer Kenny goes beyond describing what success "looks like" to clear, prescriptive approaches for actually achieving lofty aspirations in a sustainable and repeatable way. The core of her message for me was: "Joy on the job comes from doing purpose-driven work with a trusted team." How often do we get to create or work in such a team?! This book is a must-read for leaders who aspire to truly inspire!

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuinely mind changing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 10, 2023

One of the great challenges that employers face is that employees are hired for their skills and knowledge, but are more often than not fired for their attitude. Having the right attitude can be the difference between career success and failure. So any author who writes about attitude, like Jennifer Kenny does in The innovation Mindset (mindset is just another word for attitude) is accepting a complex challenge.

It is a challenge that Kenny rises to with enthusiasm, delivering a book that is as easy to read as you know sitting down for a cuppa would be with this expert but friendly author would be.

You can read The Innovation Mindset as an entrepreneur, a business owner, a manager operating at any level, or as an employee at any stage of your career, regardless of your job role.

The outcome is a learning experience that results in an increased understanding of yourself, and how you can develop and maintain an innovation mindset, and I think how you can also influence others to unleash their innovation mindset.

Organisations are increasingly finding that their normal state of activity is one of constant change, the most successful workers in those organisations are going to be the people who are comfortable with that constant change.

Most of the readers or listeners of this book will probably be people playing catch-up attempting to adapt to a state of constant change. The Innovation Mindset will add value to these readers. But I would advise anyone at the start of their career read The Innovation Mindset, it could be the key to progressing from new starter to high flyer, and long term career success.

Love the practice/impact model at the beginning of this book. It sets out super clearly the journey all innovators and their teams need to travel from the raw materials of their core talents, skills and competencies to high point innovative working that is agile and co-creative. The rest of the book lays out the road map.

Yay!

Jennifer encapsulates, beautifully, the tools and practices organisations can choose use to engage their communities and grow the capacity of their teams so that they shift the practice culture of their workplaces, teams and industry so that they make the difference they were born to make - with agility and power!

I saw the author present at Stanford so knew about the book coming out. There’s a lot to explore in this, but the table alone (pic posted) is really exceptional. Going over it with a team at work, it was a serious shift in understanding where we really are in our Innovation journey. The book goes through what you can do to move from individual and silos of innovation up to innovation superstars. Really well written and very useful if your trying to make Innovation part of your workplace culture.
