His objective is to transport managers beyond the “more-of-the-same” attitude that stalls innovation and to equip them with the mindset they need to meet the never-ending expectations for growth.
It is a goal that Symes has been dedicated to for decades.
“My quest to truly identify and understand the key principles of innovation has spanned the fifty years that I have been in business,” writes Symes, who is CEO of the consulting firm The Provenance Group. “During that time, I have been blessed to be able to work for some inspiring and innovative leaders and have benefited from being the product of excellent academic programs.”
The Innovation Edge, published by Forbes Books, combines extensive research with practical, commonsense approaches. It serves as a guide for managers on how to implement the organization-wide changes needed to create ongoing, relentless innovation.
“Large organizations cannot just emulate start-ups and new ventures because there are true fundamental differences between them,” Symes writes. “Large, mature organizations must develop an understanding of certain core principles regarding innovation. They then must essentially reinvent how to create those same types of breakthrough innovations within their corporate environment.”
Such changes don’t come quickly or easily.
“A full transformation takes time and significant effort,” Symes writes. “However, there are things you can do almost immediately to make a difference and to start your organization down the path.”
