Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
By any measure imaginable, Thomas Edison is the greatest innovator in American history:
He generated a record-breaking 1,093 US patents and 1,293 international patents over 62 successive years.
Many of Edison’s inventions have gone on to become the basis for what are today vast multi-billion-dollar worldwide industries.
He established the world’s first industrial research laboratory and a systematic process for innovation.
Edison founded General Electric and pioneered the lighting, phonograph, movies, batteries and cement industries.
Obviously, Edison knew how to innovate. He based his entire innovation success around five competencies. Within each of these competencies, five essential elements can also be identified as building blocks or best practices Edison used. Taken together, these five competencies and twenty-five elements provide a blueprint for innovating like Edison.
Thomas Edison invented systematic innovation and there is much to be gained by revisiting his methods and making them relevant to the challenges we face now. Edison was, of course, an exceptional genius, but the greatest product of his genius was the establishment of a systematic approach to success that he believed anyone could emulate.
