Review: As a marketing professional for the past 15 years, I am always looking for innovative and exciting ideas. Jack Ricchiuto's "Collaborative Creativity" offers beginners and seasoned professionals with new ideas that have proven successful in my workplace. The "idea garden" and "random words" are two tools that haved worked for me and my staff, and at the same time are fun to use. I was introduced to this book through an Executive MBA program and know that my classmates too, have found the power from "Collaborative Creativity."

Summary: A great resource for ideas on reinventing organizations
Review: I read this book and used it for a community college seminar I taught Spring 1998. While the focus of the seminar was rather broad, including music, computers, scientific process and creative exercises, an underlying theme was simply collaboration: working in teams to accomplish a semester task. The students were a highly competitive group and getting them to work at a common goal was a terrific challenge. I used the book as a resource for those problems that arose between students, trying to help them understand why collaboration could work and why it is important. I found the author to be witty, succinct, and read the entire collection of 72 essays drawn from business, the arts and sciences over and over through the term. Ricchiuto describes how the best ideas are "harvested in the garden of shared minds". Some of the more relevant topics for the course are listed below: * Reinventing organizations to be more inventive * Collaboration technology * When you're not the facilitator * Two tips on teams * We are smarter together than we are apart
