I am happy to announce that my next book will be published by Portfolio Penguin on September 29, 2011.
The title?
Best Practices Are Stupid:
40 Ways to Out-Innovate the Competition.
This book contains 40 bite-sized tips and tricks for creating a culture of innovation.
Most are quite counterintuitive or irreverent. For example:
- Asking for Ideas is a Bad Idea
- Don’t Think Outside the Box; Find a Better Box
- The Difference Between a Pipeline and a Sewer is What Flows Through It
- You Get What you Measure, But Will You Get What You Want?
- Hire People You Don’t Like
And 35 other unconventional ways to make your organizations a nimble, innovation machine.
I will share more, including the book cover, as soon it becomes available.
Stay tuned!
