5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Practitioner's Guide to Innovation and Thinking., July 23, 1999

By	F.M. Arouet (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This book is one of the best I've read about how to change the way you think and do work in the business world. It triggers a lot of ideas about how to capture and develop ideas for commercial value, and it gives you a framework for actually "doing something different". There are many good examples for personal and professional growth, and for organizational development. Corporate Leadership Development programs should include it as "required reading", and as a guide to showing employees just what it looks and feels like to be a leader (a Thought Leader) in today's fickle, ever-changing business environment. Use it like a true WORKBOOK; write in it, skip around, make slides from it, experiment with it, copy parts of it - rewrite it in your own thoughts and words!

5.0 out of 5 stars Structure, tools, and understanding permit quick use, November 4, 1999

By	Peter C. Halden (Woodbury, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews

I found this book while purchasing another book. I took a gamble and bought them both. It was the better of the two. Smith provides a structure, understanding, and tools the enable rapid implementation. This books does more than make you feel good. I am looking forward to telling others about it and putting its ideas to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dynamic Textbook for College Courses!, April 3, 1999

By A Customer

I currently use this book as a text for an interdisciplinary Graduate level course at Penn State University. The students come from a variety of backgrounds including Engineering, Management and Education, and they rave about this book! Not only does it provide powerful tools for "thinking different" and "thinking about thinking", but it also gives plenty of dynamic examples of how real people use these tools in the real world. My students give this book an A+ and so do I!
