Creating Innovation Navigators

Mission. Accomplished.

Creating Innovation Navigators: Achieving Mission Through Innovation, a new book from BMNT Inc., helps innovation leaders in government, defense, intelligence and public sector organizations ensure real mission impact. Intended for innovators at any level – whether working to bring about innovation within an existing organization, joining an innovation team, or standing up a new innovation effort – this book is a vital tool for creating mission results.

Creating Innovation Navigators is a vital resource for creating mission results, providing a common language and process for achieving mission acceleration. It can be used with any innovation methodology. The book covers topics foundational to innovation: how to build innovation organizations, the necessary functions and resources for innovation, ways to measure progress, metrics to show impact within an organization, and how to communicate successes. The book’s key framework, the Innovation Pipeline, guides users in creating, organizing, and maximizing speed and activities to deliver mission-driven successes.

Each of the book’s eight modules contains a wide range of sample use cases gathered from successful government innovation efforts; a list of key takeaways highlighting major points covered; and practical exercises to foster practice in building innovation efforts. Other key elements of the book include an extensive set of appendices providing detailed steps for building and measuring progress along an Innovation Pipeline; a glossary of common government innovation language; and resources for further study.

Creating Innovation Navigators can be used as a reference to accompany any of BMNT’s innovation course offerings or as a stand-alone guide. The topics covered in this book are suitable for any U.S. government (USG) or public sector organization.
