Innovation is an important force in creating and sustaining organizational growth. Effective innovation can mean the difference between leading with a particular product, process, or service―and simply following the pack. Innovation transforms mediocre companies into world leaders and ordinary organizations into stimulating environments for employees.

Authors David O′Sullivan and Lawrence Dooley map out the main concepts of the innovation process into a clear, understandable framework―the innovation funnel.
