Foreword by Clayton M. Christensen
A Fortune 500 consultant's proven strategies for speeding innovation and getting to market
Innovation is a critical driver of organic growth in today's rapidly expanding markets. That's why the number one issue on most CEOs' minds is "How can we speed up our innovation process and get successful new products and services to the market more quickly?" In "Fast Innovation, business expert Michael George explains why it usually takes so long for innovations to reach the market, and why they often fail.
More important, he coaches CEOs and senior managers in proven strategies for using innovation to drive growth in shareholder value.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System
The heart beats an estimated three billion times during the lifespan of the average person. Each of these cycles of contraction depends on specialized cardiac tissues involved in the rhythmic generation and coordinated spread of electrical excitation. Collectively, these tissues are known as the pacemaking and conduction system— the PCS.
Since the PCS is vital for generating and synchronizing the heartbeat, its dysfunction can be a direct cause of cardiac conduction disturbance, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Recent advances have meant that the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the development of the PCS in tissues are now starting to be understood. This book brings together a group of leading researchers to discuss emerging concepts in this exciting field. In particular, the new understanding of the cellular origin and the molecular induction of PCS tissues during embryogenesis, together with the burgeoning technology of stem cell manipulation, provides the foundation...
