This book vibrates with optimism. Thank god that there are some out there who believe that business can be more than just money, but that it makes lives better and feeds the creative soul.
I loved seeing this inspiring collection of organisations that have the balls to do something different. Not just about bean bags and fairy lights but about making the environment a core part of their employment and competitive proposition.
Nice production, great pictures, and linked together in a simple way that helps us all follow the thinking.
There's hope for us all!

This book was incredibly useful in considering how the design of my workspace can encourage creativity and innovation. The book is easily approachable, and full of useful content, and the photos are gorgeous. I appreciate the balance between being fun to read and offering practical lessons. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve innovation in their company (or their own work-lives) through the design of creative spaces.

an amazing insight into 20 of the most creative organisations on the planet, but what makes it so different from all the other creativity and innovation books is that it breaks down into easy to understand, bite sized , lessons that can be applied to any organisation. If you want your organisation to live creativity then you should buy this book. And it's well sexy looking too!
