Ideawise: How to Transform Your Ideas Into Tomorrow's Innovations

An easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement method for creating new ideas and new products
This book blows the lid off the so-called "idea gurus" by demystifying the creation of great new innovations. It offers readers a way to look at their company's existing products and services in order to transform them into new ideas. Well-known and respected authors Steve Rivkin and Fraser Seitel take readers into the Idea-Scape, a place where innovation is born from existing ideas transformed and manipulated in inventive ways to produce new products and business solutions. Examples of methods outlined include: What can you combine with an existing idea? What can you adapt? How can you put a product to other uses? What can you eliminate? . . . and much more.

STEVE RIVKIN, former executive vice president of Trout & Ries, Inc., founded his own marketing consultancy in 1989. His clients include Kraft Foods, Johnson & Johnson, and Tiffany & Co. He is the coauthor with Jack Trout of three books on marketing strategy: Differentiate or Die (Wiley), The Power of Simplicity, and The New Positioning.

FRASER SEITEL has been a communications counselor, lecturer, TV commentator, and teacher for thirty years and is a prominent public relations author.

In 2000, PRWeek named Seitel "one of the 100 most distinguished public relations professionals of the century."
