The Innovation Puzzle: New Book and Blog Posts

New book: The Innovation Puzzle

Published March 2025 with Taylor & Francis Group, New York

“The Innovation Puzzle”
Banish the innovation killers and become an emerging champion

About the book

The Innovation Puzzle explains why so many companies find innovation very important, know what they can and should do, but still fail. The book discusses both the sabotaging effect of deeper organizational barriers against innovation and also offers many easy-to-apply tools and insights to turn this hostile environment around, and make your company become future-ready and an unbeatable innovator in its field."

- Professor Howard Yu, LEGO® Professor of Management and Innovation at IMD, Lausanne
