Innovation Capability Maturity Model

Innovation is often treated as a method, a series of steps, or simply a list of outcomes. Patrick Corsi argues that it is better understood as a shift in how people think. In this book he contends that the old habit of adjusting one's thinking to fit existing skills and familiar competencies has run its course, and that people need to deliberately raise their level of thought.

The author holds that no industry or sector is exempt from this change. After working through his ideas, he is increasingly convinced that a leveled maturity approach will drive meaningful progress in innovation in the years ahead, and that organizations will need to strengthen their competitive capacities to keep pace.

Corsi closes on the idea that everything, including the way change itself happens, must keep evolving, and that this capacity to evolve is at the heart of the ability to innovate.
