Innovation for the Fatigued

This is Alf's latest, and possibly greatest book. It deals with innovation, the threat it is under, the manner in which it becomes devalued and lost, and what we can do about all this. It deals with issues such as how innovation fatigue afflicts organizations, why more innovation books isn't necessarily better, and how we need to elevate our innovation cultures to deal with the wicked problems of today. In part a critique of contemporary punditry, in part a passionate argument in defense of creative potential, Innovation for the Fatigued challenges what we think we know about one of management thinking's most over-used concepts.

Dangerous Ideas

is a bestselling book on creativity for people who do not like books on creativity. Translated to eight languages (including Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Italian), it challenges the overly positive manner in which creativity is often presented and argues for a broader understanding of the phenomenon – including paying attention to disgusting, childish and unseemly things. For only by daring to push far beyond the realm of the serious and the proper can you truly challenge a business, a system, or yourself.
