Who should buy this book?

The lab manager and employees are first on the list. They understand their lab’s challenges better than anyone else but need a guide that can act as an independent point of reference. Something that they can point to, or reference a chapter from, that will help them explain that they are not alone when they voice a concern or tackle a problem.
This book is also of great benefit to senior executives overseeing the lab. This might include the CEO who funds it, the Chief Innovation Officer (CINO) who oversees it, or the CIO that fumes about the lab wrecking his systems. All need to understand the practical realities of the innovation business, as it is most likely a new experience. Simply put, managing an innovation team is different.
Finally, and with probably the greatest amount of empathy, this book was written for the business unit leaders who may never have heard of an innovation lab before and are now being asked to work with one. They are the ones being asked to make the biggest cultural leap. They have to take products or services that they have invested a lifetime in perfecting and use technology to disrupt them.
