Value Innovation Works picks up where the innovation guru’s books leave off.  This book gives the innovation practitioner a 10-Step Value Innovation Process roadmap with a rich enabling toolbox to get right down to work on innovation.  Value Innovation Works provides wonderful examples of these tools in action and an amazing array of very practical insights.  I've used the Value Innovation Process and it Works, very well!  Follow it and you'll be able to move mountains.
