review 1: I enjoyed the book while I was listening to it on tape. But I waited a while to write this and found I had to read the reviews to remember the details of the book. The book made a good point about there being lots of ideas out there and needing to keep track of possible solutions that might work on a later project if they don't get used on a current project. There points about where to look for ideas by going outside the normal places to avoid group think were good. They pointed to the importance of pulling from a wide range of sources to come up with great creative solutions. This may seem simplistic and obvious but they had good ideas for where and how to get ideas/solutions for problems and it was a good overview.
review 2: My initial take on this book is th
... moreat there is not much new to be found on ideation. It does however manage to give a good overview and many practical examples of how to approach the 'hunt' for ideas.I am, however, somewhat puzzled at one part of the 'package', namely the recommendation to first 'find your gig' as this seems quite contrary to the musings on taking an agile approach later in the book. less
