Launch of my new book “The balancing act of innovation” on January 17th in Brussels
The official book launch of “The Balancing Act of Innovation” that I wrote with Walter Van Dyck and a group of professors from Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School will take place on Monday January 17th in Brussels.
The Balancing Act of Innovation is a hands-on book for practitioners and proposes to learn from the practitioners: how successful companies do it. The book shows innovation in its diversity and contains case studies about Alcatel Lucent, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Studio 100, and many more. The foreword brings an inspiring vision on innovation by Rudy Provoost (CEO of Philips Lighting), and the book ends with an exclusive interview of Billy Salha, General Manager Europe of BIC. The book intends to help companies discover their own road to innovation!
