Customer Reviews

Creative and fun!

After reading "An Innovator's Tale" it is easy to see why Craig Hickman is internationally recognized as a leader in Management Strategies. Hickman uses his wealth of experience to create a suspenseful novel that teaches new perspectives. I loved it!

A great way to learn about innovation

This book is a really fun read and a refreshing change of pace from the typical, theory-oriented business book. It presents an engaging mystery story as well as several enlightening perspectives on innovation. I really liked how I got to learn about innovation by watching the life of an interesting business executive from a "fly-on-the-wall" position. I'll take that over 300 pages of dry theory any day.

An Innovator's Tale is an Innovative and Great Read

Craig Hickman has written a new, refreshing, and innovative kind of business book. He has literally created a new genre that is exciting, and, I'm sure, one to be imitated. An Innovator's Tale teaches the reader worldclass business concepts and methodologies -- in this case focused on unlocking creativity and innovation -- in a novel format. The business concepts are solid and practical, and the novel is suspensful and intriguing. The combination makes for an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book for professionals who are looking for a better way to innovate and unlock the creative genius of their employees.

Refreshing and excellent way to look at innovation

Brilliant! Perfect for a new generation of business leadership. Hickman presents compelling fresh ideas for innovation embedded in an almost real business setting. The result: comprehensive principles that are easily retained and applied. The book brings to life a young, inexperienced business leader who finds her way through corporate betrayal facing the challenge of rebuilding a once prosperous family company now a under siege by a billion dollar rival. With so much at stake, innovation is not only the key to the companies survival, but also the key to protecting lives of the innovators. Finally, for those of us with stacks of business textbooks on one side of the desk, and Grisham novels on the other... Hickman paves the way for middle ground. An Innovators Tale is both a refreshing and excellent way to look at innovation.

Not another dry business book

I have to admit that I'm a really big fan of these anecdotal business-lesson fiction books that have been popular as of late. So 'An Innovator's Tale' was really up my alley. Where books like 'Cheese' are a bit too abstract at times, 'Innovator's Tale' has a firm grasp on the realities of business, but keep it interesting and fun to read. I strongly recommend this for people tired of dry, buzzword-heavy business books.
