Rules are meant to guide us—but too often, they hold our best ideas hostage.

In Innovation Without Permission, Vicky Baker challenges the notion that creativity requires approval, authority, or perfect conditions. With wit and clarity, she reveals how history's boldest innovators thrived not by following the rules, but by questioning, bending, and sometimes outright breaking them.

Packed with eye-opening examples, practical strategies, and energising exercises, this book invites you to see constraints as opportunities, bureaucracy as a puzzle to play with, and "no" as the first step toward a breakthrough.

Whether you're inside a corporate system craving change, an entrepreneur pushing against industry norms, or simply someone with a spark of an idea, Innovation Without Permission shows you how to unlock progress by daring to move first—and ask forgiveness later.

It's time to stop waiting for a green light. The world's best ideas are built without permission.
