BeUtyTradeReVue2015-06-12INNOVATIVE FUNDAMENTALS FOR ENGAGING THOSE AROUND YOU I have worked in the job force since I was 14 years old. I understand what it's like to work for a company where I did not feel as if my input mattered to anyone and I have worked for companies that have asked for, received and implemented where necessary input and suggestions from every employee. That meant we knew, no matter the chain of command, from upper management to ground level support staff, we all knew our input was welcome and acted upon if need be. Do you want your company to be one that shows that it values the opinions of every employee? After reading the Bright Idea Box, I came to the conclusion that despite the product or service a company offers, no one part should be greater than the sum of all their parts, as a company is not successful unless they engage every level employee on some level.

This is a very practical book with a lot of great suggestions for improving a companies culture and driving towards continuous improvement. Many books on innovation expend a lot of verbiage on the "why" but don't tell you enough about how to do it. Jag summarizes the motivation nicely, but the book really shines in the practical suggestions on how to implement an innovation program in one's own company.Load more
