I completely re-evaluated the role of innovation in business growth: before reading this book I have to admit I thought it only entailed product new features and technologies enhancements, while now I see it has everything to do with meeting customer needs and uncovering a business USP, which automatically translates in sales! Could not recommend it more!

Unlike most business innovation books I read over the last years (and even decades) when reading How to create innovation you immediately understand the authors have been there, innovating and transforming some of the world's most amazing brands. Great work!

Not only this book offers the most comprehensive innovation and business change overview but it really helps you take the next step, driving you step by step from theory to practice (also with super useful background notes and driving questions)

I really enjoyed the whole book, but mostly the culture chapter, mainly because I always failed to acknowledge its major role in favouring or inhibiting business growth. Loved the graphics that helped connect all the dots in a visually appealing (and way easier) way.

We’been willing to innovate our business for some years now, but then we always got stuck before we even started, because basically we had no idea where to start…This book helped us do just that: find the right starting point with guiding questions and an incredibly comprehensive innovation overview.

Why we use it
Over 90% of all Business Model innovations simply recombine existing ideas and patterns from other industries. The UNITE Business Model Innovation Patterns provides you with a (nearly) complete set of the relevant patterns available on the market in order to help you innovate your own business model! Go for it!
How It Works
The Business Model Canvas serves as structure for the Business Model Innovation Patterns. Each area of the canvas is broken down and covers the most relevant Business Model Innovation Patterns.
Seeing all of the patterns laid out will allow you to think about alternatives to your approach (e.g. what if we were to monetize our Value Proposition in this way?) and about unique ways of combining them (and likely introduce you to some you had never thought of!).

As you review each aspect of the Business Model Canvas, think about the patterns and combinations of patterns that can help you gain a competitive advantage and find blue oceans. Remember to also experiment with patterns that are not typical in your industry, even if this may be uncomfortable at first. It may seem like you are just jumping into a void, but it will be rewarding once you go through a few iterations and begin to see the potential of the new patterns you are assembling.
What is the goal of the model?
True Business Model Innovation. As you design and iterate your Business Model, the UNITE Business Model Innovation Patterns will help you and your team consider which patterns might help you gain competitive advantage and access blue oceans. Broken down into categories, the patterns allow you to think about what part of the Business Model to focus on and how you might mix and match to maximise differentiation and results.
