I loved reading this book from Fennemiek and Anne Mieke. It approaches innovation as a design challenge. The book provides practical tools, models, steps and guidelines. The duo gives a lot of examples from their own consultancy practice that help you make the connection from theory to practice. I can highly recommend it.
