Best-selling author Scott Berkun argues that historical accounts of famous innovators foster the misconception that innovation demands having a new "big idea." But, that's a myth. Giants like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs got straight to work on solving particular problems by experimenting with many smaller ideas. Berkun presents his arguments with fun and irreverent humor. He offers a strategy for learning how to innovate by going to work on a problem – any problem – right away. This revised and expanded edition includes four new chapters of practical advice on jump-starting your creativity, staying motivated and pitching your ideas. getAbstract recommends this manual to entrepreneurs, inventors, and anyone pursuing innovation in technology, media or the arts.
