Plano, TX (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- 70-90% of acquisitions fail, according to Harvard Prof. Clayton Christensen. Established companies fall prey to startups who disrupt their industry. Meanwhile, established companies “kill” their employee creativity, according to another Harvard Prof., Teresa Amabile. The few established companies that persistently innovate gain 3 times market share, 6 times revenue, and 3 times the profitability of peer companies.
Great ideas are NOT accidental
“Research found no link between R&D funding levels and financial results,“ said Solomon. “The issue is not knowing how to innovate, but rather motivating employee creativity. It’s a matter of attitude, not dollars. Our unique process, motivate2innovate, focuses on exactly that. We believe that great ideas are not accidental.”
About the motivate2innovate™ Process
The motivate2innovate process works at three levels: company climate, team dynamics, and individual creativity. The process includes three stages: assessment, intervention, and ideation. The process ends when the team proposes a business plan for an innovative product, and when the company becomes persistently innovative.
About Bowling with a Crystal Ball

The second edition contains new material not included in the first edition, such as the USB3 story, 2014 trend validation, and the introduction to Dr. Solomon’s next book: “Un-Kill Creativity: How Corporate America can out-innovate startups,” expected to release in the first half of 2016.
About From Startup to Maturity
This book is a reprint of Dr. Solomon’s PhD dissertation, “From Startup to Maturity: a case study of employee creativity antecedents in high tech companies.” Through 21 case studies over a two-year period, the author explains why 57% of participants were more creative in startups, while only 10% felt more creative in established companies. This research provided the foundation for the motivate2innovate process and the Large Scale Creativity practice.
