This was an interesting business book. Like many in the genre, it can get repetitive. I did appreciate the way the described and explained the new role that is emerging with ecosystem innovation, the choreographer. I think that is much more descriptive than, say, calling that role a project manager. Most PMs don’t think big enough or flexible enough for ecosystem innovation. It also made me think of how some places say they are innovative, but really they are iterative. It isn’t big picture innovation.

If an organization, team, and professionals are going to thrive, DO BIGGER THINGS by Dan McClure and Jennifer Wilde presents a compelling case for how to manage and support genuine innovation. Throughout this smart guide, the reader is offered stories and suggestions for how approaches work or fail in delivering the true creativity and lasting productivity. I wish I'd had this guide when I worked for large organizations declaring a passion for innovation and advances but failed to support it and encourage the wildest, best ideas that would truly have made significant differences. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.
