I saw Jeremy Gutsche at the ACUI Conference in Anaheim in 2009. I loved his presentation, and actually advocated that he present at the NC State graduation 2009 instead of the guy who focused on innovation at Xerox (huge innovators...no seriously, your copiers rock).
Exploiting Chaos is essentially the written (lots of pictures too) form of the presentation that he gave. The book is a wealth of information on how to get on the cutting edge of cool and how to create a culture of in...more

Chaos scares people. Most of us like our routine and are not necessarily responsive to change. Gutsche addresses chaos and how it can actually be advantageous in Exploiting Chaos: 150 Ways to Spark Innovation During Times of Change. His book has easy to understand points which are applicable for the CEO of a large company or a young adult dreaming about the future. Gutsche’s liberal use of pictures and color make this an especially engaging and very easy-to-read book.

Lots of great ideas about not being afraid of tumultuous times in the marketplace. He shares lots of examples of companies which thrived despite poor economic conditions thanks to a risky idea or new way of looking at something. Also lots of examples of companies which took a very conservative approach to downturns which spelled their eventual doom. The book is broken down into little one or two page anecdotes, all with lots of pictures and charts for explanation, so it is easily picked up and p...more
I absolutely loved this book. It had some great information, the book was exciting and interesting to read and I did not want to put it down.
An excellent read in times of change that will define not only the future of business but also how business connects to consumers culture.
Explores the most unusual methods in business.
Avantgarde approach to work.
Great factoids about American Ad history.
