In 'Boardroom Creativity', authors Fennemiek Gommer and Anne Mieke Eggenkamp encourage readers to approach business innovation as a design challenge, applying the creative approaches and tools that are successfully used by designers and innovators. They offer a unique perspective based on expertise in strategy, innovation, design, leadership and learning - areas not often combined. Throughout the book, they explain how leaders can make a difference through designing their business innovation journey and team to ensure they include learning, commitment and diversity of perspectives. 'Boardroom Creativity' advocates a creative yet practical approach for leaders who want to redesign their business and their board to create long-term value. Packed with exercises and examples, and based on the authors’ nine tried-and-tested principles, this book will enable the reader to accelerate business transformation by embracing a future-led approach to strategy development, designing not just your future direction, but the process and the team as well, and applying creativity (beyond brainstorming) in the whole innovation journey.

Renowned journalist, James Ashton assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each leadership type, highlighting where and when they are best deployed, whilst helping you identify who you are and how you can improve performance.

By focusing on teamwork and collaboration, as well as promoting shared decision making and ruthless prioritising, leaders can transform the way they work as well as how their teams function to make them more malleable. This book will teach leaders how they can not only survive in the context of digital transformation, but also thrive and grow, by adopting a powerful agile leadership model.
