Based on their highly successful benchmarking studies and research into the strategic decision-making practices of the world's leading innovators, the authors, a father and son team, identify principles that underlie success. "Companies," the authors say, routinely, "hire bright, high IQ people and then the organization tends to 'dumb them down' by policies and practices that inhibit value creation."
Although the book was originally based on R&D, experience reveals that the principles uncovered by the authors apply equally to all functions of the business, from corporate to functional levels. By following the advice of these seasoned consultants, business executives can literally unlock billions of dollars in untapped value.
