Brand New’s revolutionary innovation process is a proven road
map you can put to work immediately to create successful new
products, services, and business models. Written by leading
innovation practitioners, and the coauthor of the bestseller
Customers for Life, the authors of this tightly focused, highly
entertaining book have nailed the issue perfectly when it comes to
successfully introducing anything new.
Research shows people like new products and services. Indeed
they go out of their way to try to find them. Yet companies are
truly terrible at providing new products and services that meet
these customers’ needs.
Why are companies so bad at giving customers what they want?
Because they lack a simple proven process that makes sure
innovation occurs efficiently time after time.
No one knows this better than Mike Maddock and his team at
Maddock Douglas, the Agency of Innovation,? which has worked
closely with more than a quarter of Fortune 100.
To solve the innovation paradox, Maddock explains the process
his team has used to help the world’s best companies and shows
you how to
Find needs and opportunity in the marketplace
Come up with significant market insights
Create compelling communication using the actual words your
customers use to convince people to try your new creation
What has worked for some of the world’s most successful companies,
when it comes to innovation, will work for you. Start putting the
lessons of Brand New to work for you…before the competition
does.
