Now more than ever, companies and institutions of all types and sizes are determined to create more innovative organisations. In study after study, leaders say that fostering innovation and the need for transformational change are among their top priorities.

taking.How leaders can take the "Fifth Step of Design" and create their
ideal culture. INNOVATION BY DESIGN offers a powerful set of insights and practical solutions to the most important challenge for today's businesses - the need for relevant innovation.
