Innovation Books
A warm welcome to the innovation books section of the website, featuring a collection of books on the fascinating subject of innovation.
There is a wealth of information out there for people who want to be more innovative, make the organizations in which they work more innovative or simply to understand more about the subject of innovation.
I intend to order each of these books by their ranking on GoodReads at the time of me adding them to the list. I haven’t added any personal reviews as I think sites like GoodReads and Amazon themselves already do a great job of that. That said, if you’ve read any of the books listed please let me know what you thought of it in the comments section at the end of this page.
Also, please leave a comment if you’ve read any other innovation books that you feel should be listed on this page.
Many thanks, Martin.
