Paperback. Condition: Good. James Adams's unique approach to generating ideas and solving problems has captivated, inspired, and guided thousands of people from all walks of life.

Employing unconventional exercises and other interactive elements, Adams shows individuals, teams, and organizations how to overcome these blocks, embrace alternative ways of thinking about complex problems, and celebrate the joy of creativity. With new examples and contemporary references, Conceptual Blockbusting is guaranteed to introduce a new generation of readers to a world of new possibilities. Seller Inventory # 00099660546
