  1. Hello Yann:
    I wanted to share with you some news about an innovation e-book I just finished. It is called Innovation Strategies. This book covers the innovation strategies of companies that were mentioned in a BusinessWeek article (April 24, 2006). BW nominated these companies as “the world’s most innovative companies”.
    I took the role of an industrial archeologists and started looking at the artifacts and other sources of information about the companies to read the qualities that may have encouraged someone to nominate these companieas as the “most innovative”.
    The result is this 160page e-book that looks at the strategies, methods and products of: IDEO, Philips, Samsung, Target, eBay, Nokia, IKEA, Virgin, GE, P&G, Gillette, Dell, Toyota and Apple.
    This book uses a cross-disciplinary perspective to analyze the companies and products: including user experience design, human factors, art, marketing, branding, etc
    You can download a copy of the Samsung chapter and read a bit more about this book here:

  2. With your focus on creativity, and your blog, you might like to see a copy of Jack’s Notebook by Gregg Fraley. It’s a business novel about Creative Problem Solving.
    A little about the book and author: Jack’s Notebook depicts the story of down-and-out 20-something, Jack Huber, as he embarks on a journey of self-realization and life change. Jack’s mentor and guide on his internal expedition is Manny Gibran, a creativity consultant and expert in a process known as Creative Problem Solving. After a brief yet informative tutorial in the practices of CPS, Jack finds himself quitting his dead-end part time jobs, following his lifelong dream of opening up his own photography business, and, as an added yet unexpected bonus, falling in love. Jack even manages to solve a mystery and save his damsel in distress along the way.
    About the author: Gregg Fraley works as an innovation consultant to Fortune 500 companies and does keynote speeches and workshops on creative thinking, innovation, problem solving, and new-product development. He is a partner in The Innovise Guys, an innovation and entertainment podcast. Fraley is a board member of the Creative Education Foundation (CEF), and he teaches creative problem solving at CEF’s annual Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI). He is also a professional member of the National Speakers Association (USA). Learn more at http://www.greggfraley.com/.
