What does it mean to help people realize their potential for leadership through the practice of collaborative innovation? Innovation architect Doug Collins has explored this critical question with a range of Fortune 1000 companies, both internal and external, over the past 15 years. He reflects on the practice as a columnist with Innovation Management magazine. Now with leading innovation management firm Spigit, Inc., Doug has developed his articles into the e-book, Innovation Architecture: Practical Approaches to Theory, Collaboration, and Implementation. The e-book, along with offering ease of navigation and readability, introduces for the first time a blueprint for collaborative innovation. The blueprint provides leaders of their collaborative innovation programs a way to tell their story and share the vision for their practice on one page. The blueprint serves, too, as a navigational aid for the articles. The articles provide deeper perspective on the critical elements of the practice. People who lead and participate in collaborative innovation within their organizations will appreciate the pragmatic way in which Doug approaches the subject. His work with his clients grounds his perspective. At the same time, the author continuously draws the reader’s attention to the transformative potential for leadership that the practice of collaborative innovation offers.
