Synopsis

A GOOD PRIMER FOR PARTNERS IN INNOVATION

Since its publication in 1997, Collaborative Creativity continues to be a useful resource for people in the early phases of their learning about making innovation possible. Formatted for easy reading in 72 very brief (1-3 page)essays, author Jack Ricchiuto makes the creative process accessible and collaboration achievable.

This is a good read before going on to the many other great books on creativity and innovation in business out today. Authors like Michalko, Wykoff, Leonard, de Bono, Bennis, Von Oech, and Peters do a good job providing tools and techniques that take you beyond the introduction presented here.

This has proven to be one of the ones to start with.

In Collaborative Creativity, you will explore questions like:

Can creativity and innovation be intentionally cultivated -- or are they simply a matter of genes or luck?

How is the creative process critical to the development of innovations?

What gets in the way of creativity & innovation?

What does it take to be more collaborative in the creative process?

How can organizations become more innovative about how they innovate?

About this title

From the Publisher:

Collaborative Creativity has been used by leaders in corporations to invigorate innovation in turn-around, process improvement, and development projects. It has been become a valuable resource in classrooms and by web training program developers. It has proven to be an excellent way to introduce people to the importance of collaboration and the possibility of creativity in everyday and high-profile innovations. It is particularly enjoyed by people who want a collage of quick reads to inspire, provoke, and focus their enthusiasm for unleashing the power of shared minds in the creative process.

From the Author:

"Collaborative Creativity" was the culmination of two years of research, conversations with innovators, and distillations of my experience with the innovation process in organizations. I reference many sources throughout the book in order to introduce readers to the rich depth that the innovation sciences have evolved to over the past several years.

I wrote this book with two readers in mind: people who want to be more collaborative in their creative processes and people who have leadership roles designed to facilitate and evoke collaboration in any group's creative process. It is always amazing, when the approach is right, how magical the creative process can become!
