The Innovation Code The Creative Power of Constructive Conflict Harmony is sublime in music but deadly to innovation. The only way to create new, hybrid solutions is to clash. Innovation happens when we bring people with contrasting perspectives and complementary areas of expertise together in one room. We innovate best with people who challenge us, not people who agree with us. It sounds like a recipe for chaos and confusion. But in The Innovation Code, Jeff De Graff, dubbed the ’;Dean of Innovation, ’ and Staney De Graff introduce a simple framework to explain the ways different kinds of thinkers and leaders can create constructive conflict in any organization. This positive tension produces ingenious solutions that go far beyond ’;the best of both worlds.’ Drawing on their work with nearly half of the Fortune 500 companies, the De Graffs help you harness the creative energy that arises from opposing viewpoints. They identify four contrasting styles of innovatorthe Artist, the Engineer, the Athlete, and the Sageand include exercises and assessments for building, managing, and embracing the dynamic discord of a team that contains all four. You can also figure out where you fit on the continuum of innovator archetypes. Using vivid examples, The Innovation Code offers four steps to normalize conflict and channel it to develop something completely new. By following these simple steps, you will get breakthrough innovations that are both good for you and your customers. This is a rigorous but highly accessible guide for achieving breakthrough solutions by utilizing the fulland seemingly contradictoryspectrum of innovative thinking.
