Author: Bruce Nussbaum
Publisher: Harper Business

WITH conventional methods of dealing with problems being outmoded, the author shows how creative intelligence, or CQ, is a practical antidote to uncertainty and complexity. He investigates how nations, organisations and people are learning to be more creative, and how they enhance their CQ. He has lots of examples about how work is being done today and writes about the rules and need to change some of those rules. Some of his ideas may be rather radical and may appeal to a certain audience, though.
