“Innovation Passport goes directly to the heart of how companies can speed up the transition from research to revenue. This book’s combination of insight and actionable detail–derived over a dozen years–provides a roadmap for companies to accelerate the commercialization of ideas and technologies. Moreover, this best practice is based on collaboration with external partners, an approach that is even more critical given strained economic times.”
–Keith O’Brien, VP, Best Practices Research, Frost & Sullivan
