The Innovation Equation
By Jacqueline Byrd, Ph.D. and Paul Lockwood Brown
 
Byrd and Brown show how innovation can help organizations grow and how the lack of innovation can stifle companies. Recognizing that it takes all types of people to have a functioning organization, this book helps individuals, groups and organizations recognize their innovative strengths and weaknesses. Equally important are the stop signs that inhibit organizational growth. Many people talk about the value of innovation in organizations but this book takes that discussion much further, defining and thoroughly analyzing innovation and, more importantly, providing the reader with tools that can be easily applied.

Building Tomorrow's Business Through Innovative Leadership
By Jacqueline Byrd, Ph.D. and Janet Polach, Ph.D.
 
In the past few years, we've watched companies transform into innovation engines — not because they suddenly had an in-flux of novel ideas, but rather because the leadership of those organizations realized that their responsibility was to lead — to focus employees on creating the opportunities for innovation to occur.

This book is written for everyone that is part of Innovative Leadership. You may not be the CEO of a company, or even a Vice President leading one division; however, you can lead the innovation call to action, regardless of your role, by following the concepts outlined in this book.

The 7 Driver Video

A humorous demonstration of the seven drivers, perfect for consultants and everyday Creatrix enthusiasts!

Laugh at the Brave New Workshop's Improv Company as they illustrate what it looks like when someone is NOT creative and NOT willing to take a risk.

In these video clips watch:

• A meeting running predictably—with no opportunity for any creativity
• Someone who is so dependent that they have to ask their boss before they make a move
• A person who is so other directed that they even dress like the other person
• Someone fearful of being too unique
• Someone who is so inauthentic that they throw their best employee under the bus
• A person who is so rigid that they prevent a relationship from happening that could make them a success
• An individual who is so self-deprecating that they create their own performance review categories and then evaluate themselves in the most negative light possible
