review:
'Thinkers 50 Innovation: Breakthrough Techniques to Take Your Business to the Next Level' takes a hot business topic and interviews some of the leaders in the field as determined by the Thinkers 50 thinktank. I found it an interesting read, and see where it could be beneficial to businesses.
Each chapter takes a topic, then interviews a thought leader in that topic. Topics include Leading Innovation, Co-creating the Future and Where Innovation Meets Society. Thought leaders include Don Tapscott, Clay Christensen and Gary Hamel among others. The book is designed as an overview of the current state of innovation and why we are where we are. While not providing a complete roadmap, I think the chapters would be helpful for any company leader looking to add and lead with innovation. Also useful is the changing shape of management and how managers need to evolve in leading their teams.
The interviews are question and answer and are interesting due to the weight most of the leaders provide. The outline of the book is good and I enjoyed reading it. I've read good and bad books on the subject of innovation. This one falls slightly above average in that group. I'd recommend giving it a read if you are looking to drive innovation in your company.
I received a review copy of this ebook from McGraw-Hill Professional and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
