關於這本電子書

Innovate at Work dismantles the myth that workplace innovation depends on rare talent, arguing instead for structured, repeatable methods anyone can master. Blending design thinking, TRIZ (a Soviet-era engineering problem-solving system), and lateral thinking, the book offers a toolkit to transform obstacles into opportunities while balancing operational efficiency with creative growth. Its central thesis—that creativity thrives through disciplined processes, not random inspiration—is supported by case studies from Toyota’s production lines to Adobe’s Kickbox program, showing how diverse industries achieve breakthroughs by systematizing ingenuity.

The book’s three-part structure first explores the science of creativity, debunking myths like the “eureka moment” and explaining how constraints fuel innovation. Practical guides then detail implementing frameworks, such as using TRIZ’s contradiction matrices to resolve technical challenges or design thinking’s empathy-driven sprints. Real-world examples anchor each concept, while interdisciplinary insights—like linking mindfulness to idea generation via neuroscience—add depth. The final section tackles organizational adoption, addressing leadership buy-in and measuring innovation’s impact on KPIs.

What makes Innovate at Work unique is its fusion of academic rigor and hands-on practicality. It equips readers with diagnostic tools like the “Innovation Cycle” to pinpoint workflow bottlenecks and provides adaptable exercises for immediate use. By framing creativity as a skill honed through methodical practice, the book becomes essential for professionals seeking to future-proof their careers and organizations in fast-changing environments.
