Quote 1

Neal Thornberry has done a wonderful job describing how innovators can walk the narrow path between organizational complexity and organizational wackiness. I love the metaphor of judo to describe the successful path of innovation in large organizations.

-Dave Blakely, Director IDEO

Quote 2

Truly a fresh approach to this topic. While other authors talk about what the organization has to do to innovate, Thornberry focuses on what the individual innovator or leader of innovation has to do even if the culture of innovation is not well established.

-Tony Palmer, CEO Global Brands, Kimberly Clark

Quote 3

I have read many books on innovation but Innovation Judo is the first one that provides innovators with concrete tools to help them deal with organization roadblocks….and most importantly the principles don’t require the culture to be changed before they are employed.

-Mike Vitale, Vice Admiral USN (ret), Executive Director of Applied Research Lab, University of Hawaii
