    The Innovation Playbook: A Revolution in Business Excellence
    If 84% of top business leaders think innovation is critical to their organization′s success, then why do 95% of new products fail in the marketplace and less than 1% of the 2,000 patents issued each week ever return a profit to their company? Addressing the dismal failure rate of corporate innovation head on, The Innovation Playbook provides a complete road map to a revolution in business excellence founded on innovation.

    Written by successful innovator Nicholas J. Webb—who has launched more than 300 innovations and has been awarded more than 35 patents by the U.S. Patent Office—Part I of The Innovation Playbook highlights the importance of innovation in today′s corporate world and details the reasons why so many of today′s organizations can′t get it done. Part II then lays out in six chapters the Nicholas Webb solution to achieving success through innovation.

    Whether you are a business owner, C-level manager, R&D manager, marketing manager, or inventor, here, you will discover:

    • Why innovation isn′t working in today′s organizations
    • The obsession with risk and risk management
    • Common “myths” about what innovators and innovative organizations should do
    • The magic combination of customer focus, process, and culture that separates true innovation superstars from the rest of the pack
    • The crucial concept of net customer value, including Webb′s “value strata” set of standards of excellence and how to achieve it
    • How you can get really close to customers and establish the “conduits of connectivity” necessary to truly understand net customer value
    • A unique, modifiable framework and toolbox to find new ideas from external and internal sources, filter those ideas, and move them through the development process at utmost speed
    • The key cultural components in an organization that support good innovation and tips for how to get there, with particular emphasis on using today′s digital media tools to support innovation
    • Case examples of companies that have “made it,” how they did it, and how to become a superstar using the Certified Innovation Superstar certification and training program

    Complemented by a companion web site that helps you put theory into practice, The Innovation Playbook′s blueprint to success prepares managers and inventors to get their Innovation Superstar certification as well as implement a successful innovation culture in real corporate life.

    The Cost of Being Sick

    Healthcare futurist and medical product inventor Nicholas J. Webb, explores seven key predictions regarding the future—and the reality—of America’s current health care system. Based on current studies, The Cost of Being Sick follows today’s trends to their logical finales. Avoiding this imminent crash, however, can be done. With health benefits slipping while the cost of treatments continues to escalate all in the face of poor health routines that feed the disease process, there is only one possible course of action. Each of us must accept the responsibility for our own health—not only for ourselves, but for our children as well.

    And here’s the silver-lining: Not only does The Cost of Being Sick expose the cause of our failing health-care system, but it also presents the cure. And the cure promises more than just relief from the problems we are facing. This cure also promises a better lifestyle and a strengthened financial position.

    So what exactly is “the cost of being sick?” The price is more than you will want to pay—but it is a bill you can avoid.
