A lot of businesspeople talk about innovation, but few companies have achieved the level of truly transformative innovation as brilliantly--or as famously--as the legendary Mayo Clinic.

Introducing Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast, the first innovation guide based on the proven, decade-long program that’s made Mayo Clinic one of the most respected and successful organizations in the world. This essential must-have guide shows you how to:

  • Inspire and ignite trailblazing innovation in your workplace
  • Design a new business model that’s creative, collaborative, and sustainable
  • Apply the traditional scientific method to the latest innovations in "design thinking"
  • Build a customized toolkit of the best practices, project portfolios, and strategies
  • Increase your innovation capacity--and watch how quickly you succeed

Written by three Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation insiders--Dr. Nicholas LaRusso, Barbara Spurrier, and Dr. Gianrico Farrugia--the book offers a wealth of transformative ideas and strategies.

The concise, easy-to-implement methods can help jump-start your employees' creative potential, involve them in the collaborative process, and pave the way to the future of sustainable innovation. You get step-by-step advice on building leadership teams, accelerator platforms for speeding up results, and fascinating case studies of innovation in action from the files of the Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation.
