"The Dynamics of Water Innovation builds on the author’s existing exploration of the reality of innovation in the space and leads the reader ultimately to a practical framework that will surely be adopted by all stakeholders. A thoroughly rewarding and thought-provoking read that, as well as bringing order to the history of innovation, provides a glimpse into the near future.”
– Glenn Vicevic, Chief Technology Officer, Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions
“A must-read for anybody who wants to invent a new technology in water or invest into the development of new water technologies…The first time there is a framework for innovation adoption in water—anybody intending to spend time and effort/money in water innovation needs to read this before getting started.”
–Reinhard Huebner, CEO, SKion Water
The Dynamics of Water Innovation: A Guide to Water Technology Commercialization is an invaluable resource for individuals and organizations driving the adoption of new technologies in the water sector, including entrepreneurs, investors, technology and innovation leaders, researchers, and academics.
The global water crisis means there is an urgent need for the development, introduction, and scaling of water technologies all around the world. Historically the water sector has been perceived as slow to adopt innovation, but little research has been carried out to verify or explain this phenomenon.
This book proposes a new water technology adoption (WaTA) model created for the unique circumstances of water sector innovation and drawn from existing cross-sector models. The WaTA model includes a practical set of criteria that can be applied in the real world to generate better-informed planning and decision-making for innovators and investors. It gives water innovators a practical and robust method to plan and track developments, which could have a significant impact on perceptions of the pace of change, market confidence, and future outcomes.
