This week the Innovator's Guide to Growth was featured on the Post2Post Virtual Book Tour. Five different bloggers reviewed the book and interviewed the lead authors, Scott Anthony and Mark Johnson. We'd like to thank all the bloggers as well as Paul Williams, the organizer of Post2Post, who blogs at Idea Sandbox.
Here's the wrap-up on who posted what when, with links:
Monday: Gordon Graham of Broken Bulbs posted an interview with Scott Anthony about the book's potential application in a broad range of circumstances including small business, business schools, and in what industries Scott expects to see disruptive innovation in the future.
Tuesday: Greg Daines of Ideanomics posted a review of the book and promises to post video of his interview with Mark Johnson soon. Meanwhile, he called Innovator's Guide to Growth "the best business book of 2008."
Wednesday: Josh Kutticherry of FutureThinkTank posted Part One of an interview Scott Anthony (second part, including an audio interview, coming next Wednesday), in which he asks Scott about ideation and inspiration, and poses the $100 million question: "What would you do with your copmany if someone gave you $100 million to grow it?"
Thursday: Idris Mouttee of Innovation Playground posted an interview with Scott Anthony about special corporate innovation teams, overshooting, targeting nonconsumers, and innovation metrics.
Friday: Gregg Fraley at Gregg Fraley Creativity & Innovation posted a review calling the book "the new bible for innovation managers and leaders" and praising its "it’s womb-to-tomb" approach to innovation management and process.
And, the book tour lives on past its allotted week, as well — next Wednesday, Oct. 1, Josh Kutticherry will post the second part of his Scott Anthony interview and Doug Stevenson (Fraley's partner in "The Innovise Guys" blog and podcast series) will post a review on The Innovise Guys blog. We'll also be watching for Greg Daines' video of his Mark Johnson interview, and will link to that when it's up.
