The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others

Borrowing Brilliance

Dana Kraft

Nice structure on an inherently messy and seemingly unstructured thing called "creativity". Made me think about times that I've been successful and unsuccessful at finding creative solutions - and why. Also has a nice recommended reading list at the end.

Tough to read cover to cover, though. Most of his examples are from Google, Apple or Star Wars. It gets tiresome reading about what a creative genius Steve Jobs is. Second, there will be a few things that he argues that you either already agree with or already do. (ie. It's good to have someone serve as a 'devil's advocate' when judging an idea.) Unfortunately, he'll go on for several pages trying to convince you that he's right. I did a lot of skipping ahead.
