So here’s what I’ve been reading lately on my iPad (thanks to the Kindle App<\/a> ;-)<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0ReWork<\/a>: a brief passionate manifesto by the 37Signals<\/a> folks, expressing their philosophy of work. It’s fun and catchy and brilliant, although not necessarily appropriate for everyone or every project situation…but a great short read!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf\u00c2\u00a0DRiVE<\/a>: another fun insightful book by Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind<\/a>, which I enjoyed. Delves into some new theories of human behavioral motivation, contradicting long-held assumptions about extrinsic vs intrinsic rewards, etc.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf\u00c2\u00a0Design-Driven Innovation<\/a>: really good survey on the value of “design-driven” approaches and the primacy of creating meaning when striving for game-changing products\/services. (that’s a lot of participles ;-)<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf\u00c2\u00a0Change by Design<\/a>: by Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO. Nice summary of “design thinking” from his worldview of leading a global innovation firm. The money quote: “Design thinking relies on our ability to be intuitive, recognize patterns, construct ideas with emotional value, to express ourselves in media other than words or symbols”<\/em>…lots more!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
