This is a great book with immediately usable tools and techniques for innovation and organizational transformation.
Highly readable and relevant. Reading this book right now, Great book so far. sitelink ly/NyfZz At first glance this does look what it is, this is why I hesitated to get the book, finally this is very interesting while it defies the status quo and the business as usual.

Many ways on how to be more aware of what's wrong and how to challenge it, and challenge everything that we once considered as a given way on how to conduct business.
A book that I would highly recommend! What I found refreshing about this book is that it goes beyond telling you that innovation is important to actually providing you the tools and solutions to innovate, making innovation very practical and actionable.
There are helpful diagnostic exercises, useful examples, and a strong set of thoughtprovoking tools which are accessible and notatall daunting to use.

So far, one of my favorite business books, Fantastic tips and definitely a book to keep in your toolkit, I enjoyed this book quite a bit, It had great ideas, with real case examples, on how to invoke change and alter behavior and thinking, I liked that they used a monolithic finserv example too, which I assume to be a tough industry to adapt.
Spoiler Alert: practical AND inspiring without the usual corporateese, This book has gotten a lot of press lately and I devoured it in a single weekend, Since then, I've found myself with a better grasp of innovationutterly misused in advertising!but also, a more enlightened approach to communicating

with clients.
Technically, it's a business book, but it's also showing me how to embrace fear, practice what I preach and objectively evaluate myself and my work.
Highly recommended. mid book A very very good book! A must read for anyone interested in reinventing business and the corporate world.
In the everchanging world of business, weve arrived at a point where process has trumped culture, where the race toward efficiency has made us complacent and unable to reach our potential.
Stuck in the land of status quo, weve forgotten how to think, And the very structures put in place to help businesses grow are now holding them back, Its time to Kill the Company,
This book is a call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and work, But instead of more onesizefitsall change initiatives forced upon employees, we need to embrace smaller, positive behavioral changes that create ripple effects throughout the organization.
Thinking can no longer be exclusive to the creative team or lead strategists, Rather, a culture of curiosity must be fostered among the ranks to shake up our standard practices, from unproductive meetings to gonowhere strategic planning.
This revolution can and will awaken our ability to think, and ultimately, to innovate and grow,
In Kill the Company, innovation specialist Lisa Bodell urges companies to shift the mindset from business as usual to the company of the future, to move from what she calls “Zombies, Inc.
” to “Think, Inc. ” This involves both risk and trust: to allow all employees the opportunity and environment to be curious and inquisitiveeven challenging and provocative when the situation calls for it.
Too often, this type of behavior is seen as threatening, says Bodell, who has actually been told by CEOs that they discourage employees from thinking.
In step with the call to Kill the Company, is a plea to kill fear, complacency, and the alltoofamiliar answer from our leaders: “I cant be bothered with your perhaps brilliant idea.
”
Bodell also looks at how we got to Zombies, Inc, exploring how our educational system contributes to the lack of inquiry and problemsolving skills, showing how conformity is rewarded early on.
She also draws from the work of such education luminaries as Sir Ken Robinson and the groundbreaking Blue School founded by members of the Blue Man Group.

In the end, readers of Kill the Company will have a full sense of how much riskier it is to stay here in the status quo than to break out and think.

Excellent read for business leaders, Essentially, how can you create a company culture that is ripe for innovation No fluff in this book, It is filled with real life examples, tools and exercises to spur creative thinking, and detailed explanations of when, where, why, and how to use the exercises outlined in the book.
Exceptional, strongly recommend to anyone NOW! Great book and information to add to your personal toolkit of brainstorming best practices.
I learned some new and fresh ideas and was reminded of other good ones I have seen in practice, I wish the author had used more examples of direct application and shared the successes generated by such application, For me that was the difference between giving the bookandstarts, There were great ideas I just would have liked to know in more depth if they had been used successfully.
All in all, it inspired me to more regularly insert some brainstorming best practices into my schedule and meetings, This is the best business book I've ever read, I'm ready with true practical application and I'm inspired by the possibilities this book puts forth, Not simply text but a great toolkit to take forward, Was lucky enough to see the author speak and she is empowering! Unfortunately, the reading experience was a disappointment: there are lots of fantastic ideas but they are buried under annoying marketing of the author's own company.
I wanted to read a book not apage advertisement,

Instead of just presenting an awesome idea, she writes something like "we have this cool method in MyCompanyName's Toolkit, and I call it the Method With A Cool Name.
Everybody loves using the Method With A Cool Name tool!" This gave me an allergic reaction, It is possible that this style sounds better in nonFinnish ears, : A refreshing approach to kick start innovation in the zombie companies of our time: just kill the existing culture, processes and rules and you might find a way out.
