Mission-Driven Innovation — The Book

Description

Traditional innovation models — Agile, Stage-Gate®, Lean Startup — remain powerful. But on their own, they are no longer enough. Today’s leaders in R&D, operations, product development and transformation must align strategy, governance, leadership and technology under deep uncertainty, not just run better sprints.

Mission-Driven Innovation gives senior leaders a practical, field-tested system for building innovation capability that delivers stronger business results — and real progress for people and planet.

What’s inside

• The Mission-Driven Innovation System™ — seven interlocking components connecting leadership, strategy, governance and digital enablers into one coherent operating model
• Practical guidance for integrating Agile, Stage-Gate® and systems thinking, rather than choosing between them
• How to build high-performing teams driven by trust, learning and shared purpose
• A framework for deploying AI and digital technology as innovation infrastructure — not a bolt-on

With a foreword by Prof. Robert G. Cooper, creator of the Stage-Gate® model, and drawing on Anita Friis Sommer’s experience leading innovation and sustainability at LEGO Group and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
