Introduction
Based on 2 years of research with over 300 companies – some companies succeed and companies that fail. The biggest difference between winners and losers is smart winners make good, even mediocre, ideas great over time.
CYCLES is a fun book, but more importantly, it explains how to innovate at every stage. It emphasizes on learning by doing, how to grow ideas up to 6x faster while cutting risks by over 50%.

Building ideas Toolkits
Once you know what you want to do it is time to build ideas that have a chance to deliver on your objectives. Contrary to the belief that the ability to build ideas is limited to a select few, there are tools, techniques that can help any team build better ideas. These tools are:
1. Effectuation (looking for ideas at home with the resources you have)
2. Systematic search for stimulus (get out of the building)
3. Diversity and willingness to bring in new people/resources.

Communicate/Check Toolkit
If you’re looking to build bigger and better ideas, you need to get feedback.
To get effective feedback you need to be able to explain your ideas clearly, really listen (listening is not just hearing!), slow down to make sure you are on the right path, and most importantly be ready to kill bad ideas.

Systematically Improve Toolkit
A lot of research has shown that systems are the key to innovation success.
Systems are made up of interrelated components of people and processes with a clearly defined, shared destination or goal.
The foundations are clarity and a commitment to learning and improvement.
Great companies have 3 characteristics that set them apart from the rest. These characteristics are:
1. An ability to see and build on strengths
2. A commitment to building innovation eco-systems and
3. A commitment to ongoing action

Habit Building
Most new initiatives begin by focusing on motivating people by announcing new strategies in a big launch and expecting change to follow.
Unfortunately, this approach generally fails.
Instead, the best approach is quite simple; first, new behaviors are facilitated, and then controlled repetition of these behaviors creates habits.
Habits thus become the foundation of real and lasting change.
