Synopsis

Innovation Intelligence: Strategy, Technology, and Culture exemplifies the purpose of the Research in Management Consulting (RMC) series. At a time when innovation is a strategic imperative, this volume explores how organizations actually mobilize expertise, methods, and relationships to navigate complex change; in the process, it demonstrates the many factors that shape innovation capabilities and outcomes.

Collectively, the chapters are anchored in the knowledge that innovation is a driver of technological and economic growth. Innovation is not seen as a one-off event but an evolving socio-technical process that depends on how human capital, organizational routines, and external expertise are orchestrated over time. It is less about generating ideas and more about creating the conditions in which new ideas can survive contact with reality. Management consultants play a role in shifting the question from "What should we innovate?" to "How do we build an organization that continually renews itself?"

This framing from volume editor Dr. Georgios Afxentiou aligns with the RMC series and its longstanding emphasis on consulting as both a field of practice and an arena for rigorous scholarly inquiry. In this way, Innovation Intelligence: Strategy, Technology, and Culture reinforces the series' commitment to examining how consulting contributes to organizational learning and renewal.
