The Innovation Bibliotheca

A collection of my favorite innovation books,
… arguably required reading for the aspiring innovation guru.

 

.

For every six books on ‘innovation’ I pick up, only one will ever be worth revisiting. Sorting through the flood of innovation-washed-hoopla to find actionable content, takes time. Fortunately,  I’ve already done that for you…

Below is a collection of my favorite books on innovation that I think stand apart from the rest. Enjoy!
