Innovation Lab Excellence Digital Transformation from Within Richard Turrin Books Reviews


  • To my knowledge this is the first book ever written about operating innovation labs. Richard has gone through many years of experience to distill these helpful principles in a very readable way so that we don’t have to make the same mistakes and be able to hit the ground running. Definitely one of those “I wish I had this before I started” kind of books.

    Some good companions to this that go a level deeper into potential frameworks to adopt
    • ‘The Corporate Startup’ by Tendayi Viki
    • ‘Building a Growth Factory’ by Scott D. Anthony
  • This is an absolute essential read for anyone involved in innovation and digital transformation.
    As often happens in new digital fields, it might be difficult sorting the multiple sources of knowledge you available online and navigating thru the stream to find the most useful ones.
    I believe this was one of the rationale behind the book, Richard gives you directions, and builds up a system of ideas that grows on you like a handbook on how to handle the ship in the uncharted waters of innovation. I will definitely go back thru these pages when facing challenges in my job.
  • Turrin provides a great roadmap of key considerations for people starting innovation labs or looking to work with them within their organization. This was a quick read, heavily impacted by the author not feeling like he needed to replicate the business book recipe of 210-225 pages! This book is 150 pages and doesn't feel the need to repeat itself, which I greatly appreciated. This was a great read on a short flight - highly recommended
  • This book is very well written, and is a no nonsense guide to understanding the world of digital transformation. The practical guidance in insights provided by the author, Richard Turrin, will keep you reading page after page. Highly recommended for all level of experience and interest.
  • Thoughtful and well written.
  • Richard Turrin's new book "Innovation Lab Excellence" is an eminently readable and digestible book of do's and don’ts for the hands-on practitioner. On the basis of the inevitability of every financial service organization needing to establish its own innovation lab, Richard transforms his experience in that venue into a list of existential pitfalls and suggestions on how to avoid/circumvent them.

    Some of the choices to be made include the ends towards which an innovation lab will work, its organizational fit, and which leadership model might best (or at least better) serve in such contexts.

    I would categorize this book as narrowly focused yet conducive of broader thoughts and thinking. It conveys a high degree of business savvy and balances enthusiasm for the future with pragmatism needed for sustainable practice. I would agree with Richard that his book could well serve a handbook upon which to build a foundation while remaining flexible and expandable in the longer term.

    With the greatest investment in any book being the time and mental effort spent reading and understanding it, I'd value-rate it at 5 of 5 stars for those with direct or adjacent intent in the area of focus, and nearly the same as a component for those interested in becoming better familiarized with the conditions and contortions fintech purveyors and providers, both in-house and external, currently need to endure and address.
  • Richard Turrin provides a playbook for any company aiming to transform the status quo. A new take on the perils and enablers to develop innovative products to transform your business.
  • An excellent handbook on how to foster innovation, and, just as important, how to avoid the mistakes that will stifle it. A must read for anyone looking at setting up their own lab.
