Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide for Turning Bold Ideas Into Tangible Results is a guidebook by business leader and innovation expert, Robyn M. Bolton. Bolton builds on her experience of advising global brands to help business leaders develop new approaches and strategies to drive innovation.  In the United States, 90 percent of corporate innovation incubators and labs are shut down within the first three years. Bolton sets out to prove what it takes to succeed and be among the 10 percent of corporate innovators who survive the first three years. Bolton argues that most companies don’t lack bold ideas, they lack the systems and leadership qualities to turn those ideas into results.

Drawing on her extensive experience of advising global companies, Bolton offers a new framework for a holistic approach to innovation, named the ABCs of Innovation (Architecture, Behaviour, Culture). The ABCs of Innovation is a clear and simple three-year road map that any business leader can follow to foster a culture of creativity within their organization and drive impactful change.

Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide for Turning Bold Ideas Into Tangible Results, is an insightful, engaging and candid guidebook. Bolton’s tone is refreshingly honest, and the book is packed full of practical tools for readers to take away. With real life stories and examples from global companies, this is an excellent resource for anyone serious about driving innovation within their organization. Bolton doesn’t pretend that innovation is easy, but that it is possible with the right approach.

If you have ever attempted to launch something new in a large company and hit a wall, this guidebook is for you.
