Authors Ranga Shetty and Sajithra K's book 'The Innovation Imperative'...

'The Innovation Imperative' is written in the form of a Business fable with the four disciplines of Innovation tailored into its storyline. The storyline revolves around the main character Kumar, a bright software engineer at the center of a crisis in a start-up company. Their product is unable to sustain customers’ interest beyond initial trials. Their investors are threatening to pull the plug. Amidst all this, Kumar is facing a personal turmoil. For the first time, he feels ill-equipped to face a challenge. His manager had asked him to step up and innovate. His engineering training proves inadequate. He feels helpless and ill-equipped.

A chance meeting with a veteran mentor, Judith helps him turn things around. She guides him on a journey of innovation that might potentially save his company. Through this book, the authors have aimed to establish that a compelling case for practicing a structured approach involving four specific disciplines is enough to propel one’s journey of innovation.

The information age is rapidly morphing into the innovation age. Businesses that do not develop a culture of innovation will get disrupted. ‘The Innovation Imperative’ addresses the need of knowledge seekers and professionals who are looking for a simple road-map to navigate such troubled waters. The book is currently available on Amazon, Flipkart, a few bookstores in India, and other e-commerce sites. More details can be found at http://theinnovationimperative.org/
