Summary of Jeff DeGraff & Staney DeGraff's The Innovation Code
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your dominant worldview is your biggest strength, but it is also your biggest weakness. It determines the way you approach all challenges in your life. Your dominant worldviews are so intense that you lose the ability to think outside of them. #2 The CEO told the whiz kid that he was the source of his own problem. He was not very good with finances, marketing, or people. He had to learn to delegate and rely on the talents of others. #3 To break free of your dominant worldview, you must also embrace it. And sometimes embracing it is even harder because we can’t always see what we have to offer the world. #4 The Innovation Code is a system for identifying, understanding, and combining the different dominant worldviews of creative thinkers and leaders. It considers how each type of thinker and leader interacts with others, so you can determine the other people you need to surround yourself with.
The Innovation Code
Using vivid examples, this rigorous but highly accessible guide offers four steps to normalize conflict and channel it to develop breakthrough innovations that are both good for you and your customers. --
The Creative Mindset
“Jeff and Staney emphasize that small acts of creativity can have huge consequences and that ordinary people can do extraordinary things if they can see the opportunities in front of them.” —Mitch Jacobson, Executive Director, Austin Technology Incubator, UT Blackstone LaunchPad, University of Texas at Austin Nearly all of today's major innovation workshops and programs call on organizations to drive innovation. What they miss is that innovation comes from the personal creativity of individuals. And creativity doesn't require an advanced education or technical skills—all employees can be creative. Often, all they lack is a fitting mindset and the right skills. The Creative Mindset br...
The Innovation Code
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 DeGraff, dubbed the “Dean of Innovation,” and Staney DeGraff introduce a simple framework to explain the ways different kinds of thinkers and leaders can create constructive conflict in any organization. This positive tension produc...

The Design and Engineering of Curiosity
This book describes the most complex machine ever sent to another planet: Curiosity. It is a one-ton robot with two brains, seventeen cameras, six wheels, nuclear power, and a laser beam on its head. No one human understands how all of its systems and instruments work. This essential reference to the Curiosity mission explains the engineering behind every system on the rover, from its rocket-powered jetpack to its radioisotope thermoelectric generator to its fiendishly complex sample handling system. Its lavishly illustrated text explains how all the instruments work -- its cameras, spectrometers, sample-cooking oven, and weather station -- and describes the instruments' abilities and limitations. It tells you how the systems have functioned on Mars, and how scientists and engineers have worked around problems developed on a faraway planet: holey wheels and broken focus lasers. And it explains the grueling mission operations schedule that keeps the rover working day in and day out.
