Design Thinking and Innovation Metrics

Very Good ******** (8 out of 10)

A surprisingly good book about innovation metrics, even if the book sometimes stray into strategic and operational metrics. This makes the book valuable for most executives that struggle with coming up with metrics and understanding them (that is, non-financial metrics, as the financial parts are very rudimentary in the book).

The book also have links to download a number of canvases. Unfortunately they are of a very bad quality, and the author wants you to sign up for additional charges for a decent quality download (the reason why this book isn't worth a excellent rating).

Absolutely worth reading if you are into the subject (and you don't really need to be into Design Thinking to appreciate it).
