No business can truly compete without vibrant Innovation. Robert's Rules of Innovation shows us how to get there and—most importantly—how to be consistent at it. Highly recommended." —Peter Firestein, author, Crisis of Character: Building Corporate Reputation in the Age of Skepticism

"As corporations understand more and more that consumers own brands, Robert's Rules of Innovation brings the road map on how to deliver the new ideas people want to the market place." —Marc Gobe, President, Emotional Branding LLC and bestselling author, Emotional Branding
