Innovation GPS  (English, Paperback, Krishnan Naganathan)

Innovation isn’t just about ideas or invention—it’s about navigating complexity, aligning ambition with action, and turning insights into impact. Yet, most organisations either get lost in creativity without execution or apply rigid processes that stifle innovation before it begins. In The Innovation GPS, Krishnan Naganathan—consultant, entrepreneur, and innovation strategist—unpacks a decade of experience and research to offer leaders a clear, adaptable roadmap for driving growth through innovation. Drawing inspiration from real-world stories—from a small-town dairy revolution to cutting-edge scientific entrepreneurship—this book reframes innovation as a dynamic system, not a linear process. Discover how to:  Identify your organisation’s Growth Behaviour and align it with the right innovation strategy.  Understand the role of Novelty—whether you’re making firm-level improvements or pioneering market-shaping breakthroughs.  Choose from eight distinct Innovation Pathways that translate ambition into action.  Apply the Nine Stages of Innovation—a structured yet flexible process that balances creativity with discipline.  Use the Innovation GPS to navigate your innovation portfolio with clarity, coherence, and confidence. This isn’t another “how-to” guide with tools you’ll never use. It’s a strategic compass for leaders who want to embed innovation into their organisation’s DNA, whether you’re defending core markets, following fast, or shaping the future. The Innovation GPS will show you if you’re ready to move beyond buzzwords or innovation theatre and make innovation a repeatable growth driver.
