Todd spent 15+ years deeply studying and working on turning innovation into transformation at GE, Intermountain Healthcare, Advocate Health, and while being the CEO of Accuryn Medical. The Innovator's Journey is the documented learning and practical guide that organizations can use to improve organizational performance.
Innovation drives growth, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability — but most organizations struggle to move it from talk to execution. Employees hesitate. Leaders balance risk against short-term results. Good ideas stall for lack of a system.
The Innovator's Journey is Todd Dunn's account of building that system from the inside — from his dual role in operations and innovation at GE, through leading innovation at Intermountain Healthcare and Advocate Health, to founding and leading The Innovator's Journey LLC today. It's part memoir, part field manual, for anyone responsible for turning a culture toward innovation.
