Feed your creative spirit!
The key to business success and growth is innovation. But how do we become innovative? Creating the future means forgetting the rules that confine us and using our imagination to take inspired risks.
Embracing collaboration and uncertainty has long been a vital ingredient of success, beginning with the creative thinkers and doers of the avant–garde whose ideas and creativity thrived in café society. The Dream Café shows how businesses can learn from these counter–logical and irreverent ways.
This book is a unique compendium of attitudes and techniques that will allow business leaders to survive and prosper in an unpredictable future.
These tried–and–tested principles, already in practice at leading global brands, will enable you to formulate, refine and deliver big brand ideas that will disrupt and redefine the market.
