Book Reviews of The Ten Faces of Innovation: IDEO's Strategies for Defeating the Devil's Advocate and Driving Creativity Throughout Your Organization

Book Review: A Useful and Real Guide to Innovation
Summary: 5 Stars

Tom Kelley has produced a wonderful guide to fostering innovation and overcoming naysayers in "The Ten Faces of Innovation." Kelley balances ideas and theories evenly with results-oriented thinking in a manner that should appeal to a wide range of readers.

If you are searching for a book that covers both the day-to-day realities and the concepts underlying innovation, look no further -- and read this book. Rarely does a book address such a big and amorphous topic as "innovation" in such a precise and actionable manner.

Using a wide array of real-world and relevant case studies, Kelley offers a framework for both fostering innovation and addressing devil's advocates. The writing is crisp, engaging, and clear.

I particularly appreciated Kelley's ever-present thought stimulating questions at the end of each section of the book. Not only did these questions help generate thoughts, but Kelley puts his own ideas into practice -- the questions provide tangible examples of how to "think" about innovation and innovating.

I highly recommend this book.
