Or at work, have you had what you thought could be a big idea for your companyperhaps changing the way you develop or distribute a product, provide customer service, or hire and train your employees? If you have, but you havent known how to take the next step, you need to understand what the authors call the innovators methoda set of tools emerging from lean start-up, design thinking, and agile software development that are revolutionizing how new ideas are created, refined, and brought to market.
