Book review - The circle of innovation    by Tom Peters

518 pages   ISBN – 9780679757658  Mon  Nov 6, 2006  M. Chahal

 

The book is a collection of ideas to suggest to the reader to think ‘out of the box’.

Like Peters ‘In search of excellence, there are a lot of quotations and examples of the existing people and organizations.

The presentation style is such that you can look at one or two ideas on a page. 

The hand drawn diagrams reminds me of De Bono’s books.   The book failed to impress me mainly

because I could not find any new ideas or inherent original insights developed by the author that one could benefit from. 

Some of the messages presented are similar to:

 

Fight commoditization (hardly new)

Find new ways of doing things (ok)

Women are a new force in the economy (everyone knows that)

Lots of Quotations…

… on and on…
