The Bentley College
Model United Nations featured Debra M. Amidon, Founder and CEO of
ENTOVATION International; Ltd. in a ‘Tour of the Knowledge World’ with
international recording artist, Silvard Kool, who is also the resident
pianist of the Marriott Hotel Copley Place and a professor of marine
biology at Boston College.
In a unique form of
knowledge entertainment, Debra launched her new book by featuring several
knowledge practitioners – who is represented on the Global Knowledge
Leadership Map. Early reviews cite this new release as: a 'milestone in
the profession', 'a landmark book', a 'seminal work', a 'must-read', and
'the breakthrough innovation book of the decade'. This is considered a
powerful and empowering new book for knowledge managers and workers –
destined to establish a new innovation playing field for enterprises
around the world.
This timely release - The
Innovation SuperHighway: Harnessing Intellectual Capital for Collaborative
Advantage (ISBN: 0750675926) by Debra M. Amidon
- picks up where other books in the knowledge profession leave off. While
providing the sound rationale for knowledge strategy, Amidon defines the
global vision on all levels - the individual, the enterprise, the nation
and society. With well-researched management trends, this book provides
insights and practices leading to sustainable collaboration.
The
book that already has impressive rankings in Amazon and Barnes and Noble,
has captured the imagination of industrial managers, academic leaders and
government officials. Her previous best seller - Innovation Strategy for
the Knowledge Economy – is now in six languages and was selected for
Business Literacy 2000. Now with the new release, she has set the standard
for enterprises competing in the 21st century:
“This is truly a
landmark book and highly recommended as essential reading for those needed
to lead innovation practices among nations of the world.” - Dr.
George Kozmetsky, Founder of Teledyne and winner of the National Medal of
Technology
“A globally
leading knowledge pioneer for decades visualizes the emerging patterns of
the future. This book is a milestone in the knowledge field.” Leif
Edvinsson, CEO of UNIC and author of Intellectual Capital and Corporate
Longitude
“Provides a
sustainable path forward in what is a defining moment in the history of
our society. We should all take heed.” - Dr. Thomas F. Malone,
Distinguished Scholar Emeritus, North Carolina State University
"This is the
breakthrough innovation book of the decade. Thoughtful, inspirational,
visionary…the book we have all been waiting for to help guide us into
the future.” - Lynne Schneider, CEO ESSI; co-author of
Non-traditional Warfare: 21st Century Threats and Responses
“A kaleidoscope of
possibilities is revealed in this new masterpiece. Amidon may be the next
Peter Drucker of our generation” - Xenia Stanford, CEO of Stanford
Solutions; Editor of KnowMap
“Clearly a seminal
work, laying a blueprint, and synthesizing two drivers for the 21st
century economy.” - Michael Stankosky, Associate Professor and
co-director, Institute for Knowledge Management, The George Washington
University
For the past ten years,
Amidon has linked experts in 90 countries from around the world –
industrialized and developing nations - in a virtual ENTOVATION Network
that recently convened in New York City for a ‘Roundtable on
Collaborative Advantage.’ Interviews and trend analysis reveal that:
“A new economic world order is emerging – one that is based upon
knowledge (not technology), innovation systems (not value chains)
stakeholder success (not satisfaction) and international collaboration
(not competition).”
Finally,
we have a book to crystallize the concepts into practical frameworks with
international vision that moves aspirations into actionable strategies.
The Innovation SuperHighway is about people – the social and technical
networks that shape our future. The opportunity is now ours.
