Synopsis of my next book "The Way Of The Innovator" below: There are >1 billion companies and there are only the top 1 percent which are any innovative. What is the path that an innovative venture-backed enterprise take?  What are the experiences, capabilities that these innovative companies acquire? What is the DNA of these companies? How do these companies experiment with innovative approaches and also manage the risk of innovation? What are the lessons learnt and how would these entrepreneurial innovators advise others who are embarking on the same journey.

Support some of our finalists:
