Great book 2 thumps up. Really illuminate easy to read. Surfacing a lot of ideas. The essence of Innovation is inquiry. Not a theoretical book but give a lot of reading pleasure!

After seeing an inspiring keynote by Ramon Vullings, I checked out the book and it also did not disappoint. The book is a very short and easy read that is nicely illustrated with a lot of original ideas for practical tools (e.g. use business synonyms to remix your industry) and principles (e.g. find your trusted curators to filter content), to get more creative ideas and become a more creative person. Someone else has most likely already solved your problem. So, go look over the fence to other industries for cross-pollination, cross-fertilization, WWxD or the not invented here, but already invented there...

Not as expected, in my opinion.
It provides you few good resources to look for what is developed in different domains, else it provides you a very fragmented approach to delve into cross-industry developments.

This is a amazing book! Amazing for those people that needs to create a dialogue with yourself or into workshops. Because the authors provocate you, providing a lot of tools, insights and examples that, how you could to remix your industry, change your business model, inspire itself in nature, change your business or so, reflect about another industries. This is a excellent book to unite during the co-creation process (and ideation). Is possible to catch it for a meeting about your annual strategy, for example, and give it to all the managers and C-level executives. Buy it.
