Wake-up call for C-level and V-level execs -- there IS creativity beyond the "Creative Department"

If your definition of a "creative" person is someone who uses Photoshop or works for your ad agency, it's time to hold your calls, turn off your Blackberry and read this book. Discovering the people in your organization who can grow your business, regardless of their function, is the difference between building value and constantly playing catch-up to the innovators in your market.

After you're done, you can pass the book along to your favorite anthropologist, cross pollinator or hurdler. But who knows?... you might find out you're one yourself.

Ten Faces for everyone!

Excellent book, I would recommend it to anyone.

Inspiring.

Particularly people working in project based situations.

Rich with experiences from the author.

Many good stories in this book.

Memorable phrase from the Experimenter - "Fear makes failure more likely and experimentation nigh impossible".

We need to have a vocabulary about innovation instead of the typical management or leadership focused books.

Some parts are a little repetitive, but well worth it.

Excellent Read!

This book was perfect for anyone who is trying to develop a strategy to overcome the Devil's Advocate. In addition, it's very helpful in trying to put together a well rounded design team.

Excellent, thought provoking examples!

This book outlines what IDEO believes to be the 10 key types of individuals who help foster innovation. Remember that IDEO's entire purpose for being is to create innovative solutions to business problems. Kelly understands this and uses his real life examples to illustrate a point but expects corporations to take baby steps in comparison. For example, IDEO is very free with their environment, so much so that the team found an antique bombers wing and fixed it to a main wall in their Boston office.

It is an excellent and interesting read and is highly recomended. Just don't expect it to be a step by step guide. It gives you some concepts, poses a number of thought provoking questions and leaves it up to the reader to determine what changes could make the most impact on your company.
