Spoiler Alert: practical AND inspiring without the usual corporate-ese. This book has gotten a lot of press lately and I devoured it in a single weekend. Since then, I've found myself with a better grasp of innovation--utterly misused in advertising!--but also, a more enlightened approach to communicating with clients. Technically, it's a business book, but it's also showing me how to embrace fear, practice what I preach and objectively evaluate myself (and my work). Highly recommended.
A book that I would highly recommend! What I found refreshing about this book is that it goes beyond telling you that innovation is important to actually providing you the tools and solutions to innovate, making innovation very practical and actionable. There are helpful diagnostic exercises, useful examples, and a strong set of thought-provoking tools which are accessible and not-at-all daunting to use. A must-read book for those wanting to transform company culture!
Great read! Loved the real world examples that author Lisa Bodell uses to further explain her creative and easy innovative exercises. Great explanation of certain situations and rules that really limit the flow of innovative thoughts in the work place. A highly recommended read!
A refreshing approach to kick start innovation in the zombie companies of our time: just kill the existing culture, processes and rules and you might find a way out.
Reading this book right now. Great book so far. http://bit.ly/Ny7fZz
