Today the Red Monkey Story has 5 Chapters covering 20 Stories with more than 100 Engine of Innovation Posters picturing challenging concepts, tools & more.
14 Stories are ‘Basic’. These stories explain the basics of the EOI Mindset. The first layer … 8-)
2 Stories are for ‘Techies Only’. These stories explain Jeff’s Law by using technical formulas (Electricity & Dynamics). Understanding this law adds a new dimension to organizational development and understanding of the basic stories.
4 Stories are for ‘Believers Only’. If we can’t ‘awaken’ you with the 14 Basic Stories their is no reason you should follow these ‘4 Stories’. They add a toolkit that helps teams and organizations to implement the Engine of Innovation Mindset.
Chapter 1
The Color Of Innovation Will Be Red
The Prologue
The world is changing faster and faster. From a flat 2D-World to a chaotic and ever-changing 3D-World.
People, Teams, organizations, companies, schools and regions have to adapt to a 3D-World that is flooded with information and ‘unintended consequences’ caused by the negative impact of non-sustainable innovations in the past.
This chapter introduces important mind shifting insights and concepts to motivate a bold disruption in learning, working and innovation. The main objective of this prologue is to start and guide the dialog about the needed transformation.

Jeff’s Law - The Personal Edition
When I (Jef) switched my passion from software development to organizational development I took a lot of experience with me. Two things remained for sure … my passion for technology and my passion in finding out how things work or don’t’ work (system thinking).
One of the things I realized, was the relationship between learning, change and innovation … and the world of electricity and dynamics. For me it was a mind opener that helped me to better understand personal and management development.
This Story explains Jeff’s Law (based on electricity & dynamics) to better understand the Personal Competences needed to boost your Personal Power to Innovate.
“If you’re never afraid then you sleep too much!

Chapter 3 - Managers Are Heroes
The Management Chapter
Getting things done with a team of 3D-Smarts. That is the essence of 3D-Management. Realizing this in a fast changing environment presents some challenges such as: “How to scout, develop and deploy a new generation of smarts?”
‘Heroes’ introduces the competences of 3D-Managers and connects this with an urgently needed realignment of Human Resources Management. It also introduces the Engine of Innovation Agility Compass as a guiding tool and the Engine of Innovation Agility Matrix as a Management Development Tool.

Chapter 5 - Rise Of The Red Monkeys
The Deployment Chapter
Previous chapters give guidance in the development of very competent 3D-Smarts / 3D-Experts, very professional 3D-Managers and very innovate 3D-Business Units. But one of the biggest challenges remains unanswered:
“How do you transform organizations from 2D to 3D? How do they become powerful Engines of Innovation? How do you change the Culture of Organizations?”
That is the key question where ‘Rise of the Red Monkeys’ looks at. Based on Jef’s experience in learning as a Training Manager and Culture Change as a Corporate Learning Officer, he developed a transformation strategy: EOI Steps. Based on EOI Steps two tools are added to built Engine of Innovation Companies: The Engine of Innovation Stepping Matrix and Engine of Innovation Mission Boxing.
