Reviews

'There are many many tools for enhancing innovation and creativity. Why, because tools work! Flowers et al have developed a new tool for the 21st Century. Established organisations have delivered great outcomes using lean, six sigma, design thinking, stage-gate etc. Capturing the Innovation Opportunity Space is practical and engaging, with templates and a step-by-step approach that is engaging and easy to use for individuals, teams and consultants everywhere. The stories and case studies bring the approach to life and encourages a new mindset of opportunity. IOS should be included in every innovators toolbox' -- Allan Ryan, Hargraves Institute, Australia 'To anyone concerned with innovation, this book is a must-read. We observe that innovation is no longer the province of commercial firms, but increasingly distributed across end consumers, communities and the crowd. As a consequence existing many organizations will see their business models cease to exist. This book is first to reveal how advantage can be taken from this new reality - by newcomers and existing organizations.' -- Jeroen de Jong, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

It is not only thought-provoking, based on the latest evidence and highly pedagogical, but it is also visionary. Furthermore, it explains an ongoing paradigm-shift in innovation and at the same time gives practical advice on how to innovate. I recommend this book to business leaders, policymakers and students of innovation.' --Peter Svensson, Swedish Innovation Agency
