Cover for New Book

As I previously announced, my next book, “Best Practices Are Stupid: 40 Ways to Out-Innovate the Competition,” will be published by Penguin’s Portfolio imprint on September 29, 2011.  For those of you who have not seen it, here is the cover:

Although the cover may change slightly, this is pretty close to the final version.

This book contains 40 bite-sized tips and tricks for creating a culture of innovation.

Most are quite counterintuitive or irreverent.  For example:

• Asking for Ideas is a Bad Idea
• Don’t Think Outside the Box; Find a Better Box
• The Difference Between a Pipeline and a Sewer is What Flows Through It
• You Get What you Measure, But Will You Get What You Want?
• Hire People You Don’t Like

And 35 other unconventional ways to make your organizations a nimble, innovation machine.

The hardcover version is already for pre-order on Amazon.com and 800CEOREAD.
