Ten faces of innovation........must read by all

One of the books I read recently and which is worth mentioning here is "Ten faces of Innovation" by Tom Kelly of IDEO
To sum up the book in a single sentence I would say True Innovation comes through collaboration... Indeed nothing can be more true than this. As the world of design is progressing the silos within it are being bridged.
I highly recommend it to everyone not only those in Design and related disciplines but just anyone.
This is one book that I can say I read at a very appropriate time in my life.
The faces are:the anthropologist, the experimenter, the cross-pollinator, the hurdler, the collaborator, the director, the experience architect, the set designer, the caregiver and the storyteller.
I cannot identify myself with just one particular role but a I would probably be donning different roles given different situations.
it is very interesting to see how Tom describes each role with real world examples from IDEO's projects.
