Sarah Miller Caldicott’s Summary
I'm a great grandniece of Thomas Edison, and an MBA with 20+ years of domestic and international Consumer Packaged Goods marketing expertise. I've just written a first-ever book on Thomas Edison's innovation methods which has been endorsed by Fortune Small Business, 800-CEO-READ, USA Today, and Investor's Business Daily. Entitled "Innovate Like Edison: The Success System of America's Greatest Inventor," the book lays out for the first time Edison's systematic approach to innovation in a format that allows any employee to begin implementing Edison'sFive Competencies of Innovation(tm).
Edison's Five Competencies of Innovation bring innovation best practices within reach of any organization, of any size, in any industry. The competencies show us how to bring an innovation mindset to all employees - not just teams in R&D, Engineering, or Marketing. All employees can now learn to "think like innovators," helping to move their companies to the leading edge in their industry. Edison's Five Competencies also significantly upgrade the skill set of employees through a deeper understanding of risk-taking, collaborative work, pattern recognition, and development of a solution-orientation.
