About the Book

More and more people have to organize or moderate innovation processes, creative workshops and design thinking projects and need help when choosing appropriate tools. At the same time, the number of available methods has virtually exploded in recent years - making it difficult to find the most appropriate method. This book presents 555 of the most important innovation methods and tools, selected and curated by experienced innovation professionals. A step-by-step explanation for each method allows for easy implementation in your own team meeting or workshop. Further information on each method, such as method results, experience insights, required innovation skills and numerous illustrations help the reader to select the right instrument and adapt it to their respective goal. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, the book will help you to select methods quickly and safely. Innovation managers and everyone responsible for projects and products will find invaluable help for their work in this dictionary. It also offers a Design Thinking reference for all methods as well as a free online method search with various search paths.

Review :
"What a work! Comprehensive. Clever. Helpful. This work is a must for all innovation coaches, consultants and others. It is a comprehensive reference book that offers a meaningful structure and clever search path. It is extremely helpful and makes browsing a pleasure. What more could you want! Thumbs up!" --Amazon.de "Finally the super bundled summary of many innovation methods" --Amazon.de "This book is a real treasure trove for all those who do innovation workshops and work with creative methods, a must for innovation coaches. In my training as an innovation coach and in the two years that followed, I have a pool of about 25 creative methods. Usually the same methods are used again and again. But sometimes they don't fit and I'm looking for new tools. The book is just the right guide. The methods are described in such a way that it is easy to understand and use them. The various search paths to the methods are very successful. Besides the method itself, there is always useful information for practical use. With the book you also get online access to the digital version. So you can find the correct method still faster and sometimes also got a useful template or document. My conclusion: The book is very successful and contains concentrated knowledge for interested innovation managers and everyone who wants to tickle out new ideas with other methods. A must for me in the corporate library. Clear recommendation to buy." --Amazon.de "A true highlight! The book is located centrally in our agency and is an incredibly cleverly structured reference book. It should be in every advertising, PR and marketing department on the shelf and will certainly help many project managers, executives and all other people who are looking for innovative ideas in these disruptive times." --Amazon.de "Thank you. I have been in the innovation business for over 20 years, innovate for a major DAX corporation and freelance for a wide variety of industries, I am a speaker and come from practice and I am allowed to continue learning permanently. I am really impressed and for a variety of reasons. The book is not a book you read from top to bottom - but rather a reference book for inspiration and deepening your knowledge. This book is very inspiring for the innovation novice and -professional. It is elaborately designed and full of examples and sources. What suits my way of working and I particularly like it is that I only have to (may or need to) invest a few minutes per tool/chapter to read it and above all to understand it. Usually all methods are explained on 1-2 pages and perfect for ad hoc inspiration. Congratulations on the implementation to the authoring team. Thanks from my side, I have discovered many inspirations for myself and 'The Great Handbook Innovation' is my clear buy recommendation, for all those who are curious and innovative." --Amazon.de "Each of the really 555 methods (I never thought there would be so many) is compact, application-oriented and clearly described on a maximum of two pages and can therefore be used immediately. If you want to deepen your knowledge, you will find enough tips for further literature. It is great that the methods are critically evaluated, i.e. possible obstacles are pointed out, as well as the special advantages and experiences with each method. Particularly valuable: the many alternative search paths that pick me up as a user exactly where I stand and make it easier for me to quickly find a suitable method. And if these search paths are not enough for you, you will then have access to the practical supplementary online tool. There is really nothing missing here, although the balance between depth of information and clarity couldn't be better. I can not only find any instrument quickly, but also understand it quickly and apply it immediately. A must-have as a reference book in the office cupboard for all those who lead workshops, are looking for innovations and or simply want to spice up meetings that are often so boring in their daily work with individual methods. Terrific!" --Amazon.de "Thank you for 555 great impulses. A must for all those involved in further training! Around 1000 pages about innovation and the future lie ahead of me. No, I haven't read everything yet. And I am already enthusiastic! The plant skilfully takes up the current challenges in the companies and provides a new framework for the economy with a total of 555 methods and instruments. Especially in the times of diruption and the VUCA age, this rummage and reference book provides important and helpful impulses. Reading it is also a must for all those involved in continuing education. I would like to thank the editors Benno van Aerssen and Christian Buchholz for this important work" --Amazon.de "This is not just one, but THE book of methods for innovation management. I purchased this book in the printed and Kindle versions. As a freelance consultant for efficiency improvements and optimizations in all industries, I often face the challenge that companies/organizations with existing approaches could not moderate a solution to their problems and/or could not courageously think "innovatively" enough. --Amazon.de "In order to find new approaches with the help of new concepts or other vehicles, it took many conversations with colleagues and in the network to know what could be tried out. The time for this and the time for searching is now over with this "heavyweight book". The offer is almost limitless and I am already looking forward to trying it out. I also particularly like the way each method is presented in the detailed overview as a one-page, two-page or maximum three-page book. And the online method search is available free after registration. I won't put this work of methods far away and I still go through it a lot." --Amazon.de "I'm the head of a marketing department and I took the book in my hands for the first time at home on the sofa with great excitement, to quickly realize that this is not a classic "I'm educating myself and reading through the evening" reading. Much more it is a practical work manual with many (very many) compact application examples. Especially in a marketing department, the same creative processes happen again and again. The large handbook of innovation offers so many new approaches from authors from different industries that the results in the application were completely new and unexpected" --Amazon.de
