Linkner, founder and CEO of ePrize, one of the top online interactive promotions companies, outlines why businesses need to stay creative to stay competitive. After noticing that businesses have work flows and systems in place for almost every aspect of corporate behavior except creativity, Linkner designed a five-step process to manage innovation as part of daily, monthly, and annual goals. While the individual steps focus on keeping employees alert and responsive to new ideas, the fundamentals of the process mirror established project-management theory. The book provides checklists and questionnaires that spur readers through the process, as well as dozens of examples that highlight the effectiveness of creativity in the workplace. VERDICT One of the few books that outline a method for incorporating creativity within standard operating procedures, this will appeal to general business readers as it provides a straightforward plan for boosting innovation.—John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston
