Because of corporate demand, we've had to go to a second print run of my book, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast.
As a result, I now have more review copies available for media, and bloggers who focus on innovation, creativity, and fast market change. If you would like a review copy, please contact me, and let me know who you write for, point me to a few of your columns or blog posts, and I'd be pleased to drop a complimentary copy of the book in the mail to you. Note the Globe & Mail, in a review: "In the opening section of Ready, Set, Done (Oblio Press, 181 pages, $24.95), Toronto-based futurist Jim Carroll highlights some examples of the high-velocity change that is forcing companies to innovate faster than ever, and in the remainder of the book, he offers advice on the pitfalls to avoid and the proper steps to be taken. It's a high-level, strategic look, touching on concepts such as just-in-time knowledge, an up-to-date version of continuous learning we need to understand; 21st century capital; and why Band-Aid innovation doesn't work. It's broad in what it covers and briskly written, with some fascinating anecdotes from his own experiences as a consultant or odd things he has dug out about industries (did you know there's a new cadre of workers called manure managers?) It's a great books, and I've had lots of comments from readers who have found that it has provided them some straightforward, to the point guidance on a huge variety of innovation concepts. The other great news is that because of the size of the print run and economies of scale, we will shortly be able to offer the book for sale through this site at a lower cost of $14.95 plus shipping.
