Toolbox Innovation Communication

This book provides a toolbox of models and methods that make innovative ideas successful. Innovation brings progress, competitive advantages, and increased profits, but it also entails uncertainty and provokes defensive reactions. Strong communication skills are essential to overcome internal and external hurdles. Effective innovation communication captures attention and builds necessary knowledge among key stakeholders. It is fast, flexible, and pragmatic, anticipating resistance, addressing potential negative impacts, and building bridges to the future. Florian Hohenauer's book targets communication professionals and those aspiring to become one. Renowned experts Christine Dingler, Gudrun Herrmann, Sascha Pallenberg, Christiane Schulz, and Gerrit Gericke, along with Danijel Viševic, share their strategic approaches in guest contributions and interviews. Practical examples illustrate the application of the tools.
