Red Thread Thinking
Weaving Together Connections for Brilliant Ideas and Profitable Innovation
McGraw-Hill, 2013
Was ist drin?
You can innovate at will…if you make the right connections.
Recommendation
As their subtitle indicates, innovation expert Debra Kaye and her collaborator, writer Karen Kelly, provide practical, profitable ways to connect familiar ideas with newer ones. Their “Red Thread Thinking” model consists of five “red threads” that you can follow and entwine to bring your innovative concepts to life. Though most of the early chapters will be old news to readers who are familiar with the literature of innovation, keep reading. Once they hit their stride, the authors emphasize connecting with market reality. Their guidance is more fully articulated than the counsel in many innovation books that only offer tips on how to create. getAbstract recommends this manual to would-be innovators, to innovation managers and to anyone looking for a primer on workable, applied creativity.

Comment on this summary
“The key to failing well is to take note of what you learned that could be useful on your next attempts and then keep working past the disappointment.” this is true not only as adults but something to share with our youth.
