Just as nuclear fusion produces massive energy from combining two nuclei, a fusion in business, technology and the arts can release massive value — creating whole new companies, industries and human capabilities. Examples of the fusion technique for high-value, radical innovation are presented in this unique collection of stories. This book is based on a global research study of 30 world-class innovators who have collectively created billions of dollars’ worth of business value as well as new advances in the arts and sciences that bring joy to the world and can save millions of lives. Insights from the journeys of the innovators provided in this book will help leaders, organizations and individuals succeed in their innovative endeavours.

Innovation Through Fusion is essential reading for individual innovators who would like to create the future, teams and organizations that need to craft radical or high-value innovations, especially across organizational silos, and leaders concerned about declining returns on innovation efforts and uncertain about organizational survival in a disruptive world. The author provides a new model of lateral innovation useful both as an innovation process and as a framework to assess your lateral innovation capabilities. The book is replete with value creation examples of lives saved, billions of dollars of savings or growth, and new products, services and companies as well as stories of leading lateral innovators – who they are and how they succeeded.
