Best Innovation & Design Books of 2008
As the year winds down, we come to expect many “best of … ” lists. An interesting one that caught my eye today was Business Week’s top ten books within innovation and design.
The list includes books from authors such as Procter & Gamble’s CEO A.G. Lafley, analysts at Forrester Research, a senior writer at Business Week, and various professors.
One of the books, Stephen Baker’s The Numerati, of which I had previously heard, seems particularly intriguing in the realm of user experience (here’s an excerpt). It examines the use of copious data and trends in creating customized products and services. I hope to find the time to read this one in the near future. Take a look and see if any on the top ten list appeals to you.
