In 1876, H.M. Robert created “Robert’s Rules of Order” to use a system that brings about order from chaos in meetings (see www.robertsrules.com/history.html ). Just like meetings, Innovation requires rules and order to succeed in Creating and Sustaining Innovation.

Based on years of hands-on experience, research, surveys and numerous interviews with business leaders, Robert’s Rules of Innovation captures the imperatives to not just create but most importantly sustain innovation.
The book is being published by John Wiley & Sons Inc. and scheduled to be available the spring of 2010, both in hard copy as well as e-book. (ISBN 978-0470596999)
