Reviews for The Road to Reinvention
5 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was pushed down to many of us in a certain department who's flavour of the month is now "innovation"...yes, the sarcastic quotes are intentional.
Anyway, this isn't a bad book, but it's one that will leave you feeling hungry an hour or so later. There's lots of fun stories of those who have innovated and succeeded...and very few about those who innovated and failed.
There's lots of passages designed to build you up and stoke your fires, and there's a lot of high level--and I mean edge of the atmosphere high level--information on what to consider.
But if you want something that goes into specifics? Or something that gives you more than a flash card plan or sound byte wisdom? Look elsewhere. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Disruption and Reinvention
I heard Linkner speak at a conference several weeks ago, and decided to pick up this book. As I was reading it I enjoyed his suggestions...his "method," on how to positively disrupt your business. As a management consultant I found myself agreeing with many of his ideas, and recommended this book to several of my clients. It's worth a read for that.
I really have no complaints about the book, but found myself a little less interested in the last portion of the book where he transitions to personal change. Yes, I agree with him that this is a logical discussion, and is at the core of all change...it only takes a spark, eh? But this sort of stuff is covered...everywhere...and has the book ending a little weak for me.
Also, the method of the book...a Detroit example at the end of every chapter becomes a little worn and repetitive after the first few chapters...same story over and over.
Regardless, the book can be useful for those interested in the topic of disruption and acceleration.
