What do representatives of seven large federal agencies think about Creating Innovation Navigators?

This book is a must-read for any government practitioner of innovation. It effectively articulates the critical importance of innovation, and it provides a concrete and practical explanation of what an innovation pipeline is and how to build one. The case studies deliver superb insights on how to apply the innovation doctrine to concrete challenges. Lastly, it highlights how critical driving culture and delivering outcomes are to any innovation effort. I highly recommend reading this book!.
