The Imagination Machine How to Spark New Ideas and Create Your Company's Future

Advance Praise for The Imagination Machine:

"We may not all be artists, but it's high time we started thinking like them. If you want to escape the tyranny of metrics and incrementalism, and if you're serious about confronting uncertainty with courage and creativity, this book is a great place to start." Margaret Heffernan, author, Uncharted

"In today's business environment, the capacity to move beyond cookie-cutter models and copies of what others are doing is critical. That requires putting known things together in unforeseen ways; the ability to wonder, to get inspired when things fail or don't work; and to see surprises as sources of ideas. This book fills an important gap in our knowledge about how to systematically apply imagination, creativity, and learning to business strategy." Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, Executive Chairman, LEGO Brand Group; former President and CEO, LEGO Group

"This book captures essential concepts of nurturing imagination as a sustainable organizational capability. Let's all ask active, open questions and stay hopeful, as the book suggests." Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman and CEO, Sinovation Ventures

"Creativity and imagination have increasingly become the key sources of outsized business success. Yet creativity and imagination aren't taught in most business schools, they're not encouraged in most business cultures, and they tend to be stifled by most popular management processes. Reeves and Fuller have written a delightful exploration of the imagination in business that should be read by any leader aiming for long-term success." Alan Murray, CEO, Fortune Media
