A brilliant guide to fostering creativity and business innovation, "The Ten Faces of Innovation" shows how any individual can become an experienced architect, storyteller, caregiver or cross-pollinator...just four of the ten characters that can be adopted in different situations to create a broader range of solutions to business problems. At the start of the creative process you might be the "anthropologist", going into the field to see how customers use and respond to products; later you might be the "hurdler", who overcomes obstacles on the way to the finished product. The book explains with examples from business how adopting these characters can beat nay-sayers who stifle innovation.
