Reviews
"Humans make progress by discovering new ideas, but also, importantly, by repurposing the ones that already exist. Boynton and Fisher show how each of us can get better at this critical skill, identifying and reapplying existing ideas." ?Paul Romer, Senior Fellow, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research ?Hunting is an apt metaphor. Ideas exist everywhere in the wild. The trick is knowing where to look for them and how to capture them. Boynton and Fischer tell us how.' ?Ron Sargent, Chairman & CEO, Staples, Inc. ?The Idea Hunter is unique. It's about curiosity, agility and perpetually hunting for better ideas. It's a must read for anyone who wants to compete and collaborate more effectively each and every day.' ?Greg Brown, President & CEO, Motorola Solutions. ?This book upends a number of persistent myths about innovation and what it takes to be an ?idea person.' It shows that what's required is not spectacular creativity or remarkable IQ, but curiosity'a genuine desire to engage in a daily search for ideas. It will help transform the way you and your business operate.' ?Jay Hooley, Chairman, President & CEO, State Street Corporation ?The Idea Hunter is not only an enjoyable read. It offers a practical method so that anyone or any firm can learn the secrets of harnessing the power of ideas to drive success.' ? Laura J. Sen, President & CEO, BJ's Wholesale Club ?Boynton and Fischer offer powerful and practical advice on how to jump-shift the flow of ideas in your organization. This will become required reading for any leader intent on shaping a high-performance organization.' ?Michael D. White, Chairman & CEO, DirecTV Observe, ask questions, be curious, dare to throw odd ideas into a group's conversation to make it better. Be an Idea Hunter! ? Ton Büchner, CEO, Sulzer, Ltd ? My company aims to add about $4 billion in new sales every year. This won't be possible without everyone in the organization contributing new ideas. The Idea Hunter is an essential guide to systematically developing this critical capability.' ? Werner Geissler, Vice Chairman, Global Operations, Procter & Gamble ?Thrilling, fun, and inspiring, The Idea Hunter tells stories and discerns patterns of behavior and habits shared by the great innovators of the past century. It finds similarities among the greats ranging from Warren Buffet to Steve Jobs, and even going back earlier in the century to Walt Disney and Thomas Edison. Through brief stories and simple self-reflection exercises, this book distills the quirky essence of leading imagination in a way we can consume it, and hopefully aspire to become one with it. ? Aaron C. Sylvan, Serial Entrepreneur and Technologist (One Technology, TrustWorks, LemonadeHeroes, Sylvan Social Technology) ?We rely on using the ideas of thousands of experts to win against tough competition in a crowded market. Using The Idea Hunter as a trail map, any leader can win the daily wars of ideas that differentiate the innovator from the rest.' ?Jack Hughes, Chairman and Co-founder, TopCoder, Inc. ?Idea hunters are normal people, with a normal life in a common social contest. The only difference is that they have an open mind and are skilled in searching. This brilliant book is an ideal guide to achieve an open mind in our complex world.' ? Maurizio Marinelli, Visual Artist & President of Baskerville Research Center on Communication, Bologna, Italy
