Recommendation

Lone geniuses who hide away pondering in ivory towers seldom experience those “Aha!” moments when the proverbial lightbulb switches on above their heads. The people who develop the most innovative concepts are “idea hunters,” who constantly search for pre-existing ideas they can adapt to their own ends. Management school dean Andy Boynton, professor Bill Fischer and journalist William Bole tell illuminating tales of successful idea hunters and explain – albeit with a bit of repetition – how real innovators generate great ideas; they hunt and gather. getAbstract recommends these stories and techniques to anyone seeking creative solutions.

Take-Aways

  • Great ideas are out there just waiting for you to find them.
  • Seek them out and adapt them for your use.
  • Welcome all ideas and sift through them to find the best ones for your purposes.

    A good summary that reinforces thinks that you may already know, but don't always do. Good suggested approaches to breaking down your thought process to allow for new ideas and use of examples to demonstrate the point that is being made.
