Creative Development

Most professionals cannot generate a solid idea. They either offer up tired or reused ones, or they generate lots of ideas but none that are worth pursuing. A great idea presents a well-formulated thought or plan of action that spurs growth, change, advancement, adaptation, or new insight. Worthwhile ideas move the needle; they change the playing field altogether.

Whether you're a designer, writer, musician, or filmmaker, or an executive, engineer, teacher or salesperson, this book will show you how to "prime the pump" of your creativity, overcome the blocks, and deliver great ideas when you need them the most.

How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece.
