To awaken innovation in the well-established organization, business leaders and professionals should think as an intrapreneur and act as a startup manager.

Digital is the age of innovation. And innovation is what leads to differentiation. There are many ways to differentiate and, therefore, there are many ways to pursue innovation.

The purpose of the book “Unpuzzling Innovation - Mastering Innovation Management in a Structural Way“ is to demystify innovation puzzles in a structural way.

Novelty

Innovativeness Being innovative is a state of mind. The most important capability of the innovative mind is the willingness and ability to explore new lenses to understand things differently for solving problems in alternative ways. It’s about seeking out new knowledge, connecting wider dots to fuel creativity, developing an atmosphere in which people are encouraged to develop creativity and be innovative from an individual endeavor to a team activity to a collective effort for amplifying human potential.

Intentional Novelty Fundamentally either running a business or living life is an iterative problem-solving continuum. There are strategic problem solving from a long term perspective and tactical problem solving on a daily basis.Problem Solving with intentional novelty is about how to think unconventionally or from a new perspective, frame and solve problems creatively. In the business world, you can't always wait for the "best" solution to emerge. It is important to experiment, explore, and encourage a new way to understand tough issues and deal with them in an innovative manner.
