Creativity Without Frontiers

How to Make the Invisible Visible by Lighting the Way Into the Future

Since the first human crawled deep into a cave to make art, creativity has flourished among rebels and risk takers, mavericks, and visionaries. However, if creativity thrives among outsiders, how can it be nurtured inside large organizations? How can one build a team that works together to solve real problems while leaving room for individual inspiration? How can one ignite the creative spark without burning down the building?

Roy Sharples draws on decades of experience at the vanguard of business innovation and a deep affinity for applying an artistic instinct to explore these questions, offering novel solutions. Building on a broad survey of the misfits who defined the modern world, from Dada to Elon Musk and Bauhaus to Acid House, he explores what makes the creative mind tick. He also examines the conditions that nourish creativity in organizations of all sizes, from artists to corporations to civilizations. The result is a manifesto for harnessing inspiration and unleashing the creative power we all have inside.

Really enjoyed listening to this audio book. The story telling is great, and concepts are demonstrated through examples. I have the privilege of knowing Roy Sharples personally and know that the learnings and examples he shares in the book are real and a testimony to his lived experiences. I especially enjoyed the journey through time, the creativity techniques that challenge convention, encourage learning from experience, using research and observation to establish insights that informs design. A truly inspirational book.
