Recommendation

Many companies use ineffective, silly techniques to innovate, including brainstorming sessions featuring NERF balls and fun foods to make the session enjoyable and productive. But brainstorming does not work, no matter how many balls you throw at it.

They suggest tactics and methods for analysis and planning, and they explain how to foster productive, tailored creativity. getAbstract praises this book’s informative design, data-block layout and lively graphics as well as the authors’ well-developed, and even innovative, ideas.

    Excellent summary - Very relevant in today's business environment -

    Key takeaway for me is that the best approach is to take a few aspects at a time and not try to execute all 10 at a time.
