Prof. Barry Cross’s book Lean Innovation tops Globe & Mail’s list of best-selling business books

Posted on January 9, 2013

“Understanding What’s Next In Today’s Economy” is the sub-title of QSB Operations Management Prof. Barry Cross’s new book, Lean Innovation. His topic has certainly struck a chord. Though it’s only been out since December, the book has reached the #1 spot on the Globe & Mail’s list of business book bestsellers.

In the book, Barry explores how to use the concepts of ‘Lean Innovation’ to free up resources from within the organization to support and “fund” innovation and create a culture of creativity. A member of QSB faculty since 2007, Barry brought his extensive experience in the automotive and manufacturing sectors combined with his academic credentials when penning the book. He is also a featured speaker and consultant whose clients include Shoppers Drug Mart, LG, Canada Post, Enbridge and Export Development Canada.
