‘Having worked with Natalie and the Six ‘I’s® for some years now, it is a joy to be able to refresh the various aspects of the Model through the book. It is easy to read, either from end-to-end or to dig into specific areas you want to explore in more detail. At the same time, it is a practical book as it deals with reality … rather than just focusing on theory … it is very much about what you can/should do and not about what others have done before you. One of the aspects that separates this book from others is the inclusion of an assessment tool which is very useful for putting together or evaluating current teams embarking on a journey of innovation through the six steps of the Model.If you deal with any kind of business development or innovation, this is a book that is worth reading and using.’

‘Natalie Turner, whose journey I have observed with great interest and admiration for over a decade, has written a remarkable book which is offering a path through the jungle of innovating that is both easy to understand and practical in its application. One important aspect in which it differs from other innovation books is that it brings together the different stages of the innovation journey (process) with the different mindsets (people) that are required at each stage if we are to succeed. Structured around her Six ‘I’s® Model – which readers are invited to complete – the book is full of tips, tools and further reading. It should convince everyone that they can indeed contribute to innovation.’

Dr Bettina von Stamm, innovation philosopher, storyteller, catalyst, Innovation Leadership Forum; author,

Natalie’s book offers a wonderfully comprehensive and well-rounded framework of the stages of innovation and opens it to everyone. It’s a guide and teacher; it inspires, gives great insight into needed competencies and the mindsets of innovation. And it doesn’t end there … it offers a multitude of ideas and activities for individuals and teams to embrace the mindsets to innovate and to strengthen their capabilities … You will not only read this book once, it will be a great companion for a long time!’
