Testimonials

This is an excellent, succinct book. The flow from Preparation through to Enactment is logical but delivered engagingly. There are certainly quite a few approaches and models that I intend to experiment with and, hopefully, add to my workshop armoury. It’s also refreshing to read a book that explicitly states that good ideas don’t come from everyone and that it’s often a good idea to try to develop new thinking inside, rather than outside of the box!

Neil Duffy, Managing Director, Interbrand

Few of us are blessed with the gift of creativity. Still fewer of us have any idea how to start when told to go away and come up with a new idea for something. This book really should have “DON’T PANIC” embossed on the front. It will lead you gently and effortlessly from A to somewhere entirely different. And you will enjoy the ride.

Free up your time and energy, and depart from the day to day and dive into Kevin Duncan’s new book. The Ideas Book reminds you to be constantly curious, to engage your senses in new ways and to test out the approaches offered in each phase of the idea generation process.

Mark Earls, author Herd and I’ll Have What She’s Having

For some people, generating ideas – whether alone or as part of a group – comes naturally and easily. For the rest of us, Kevin has crafted The Ideas Book, an easy-to-follow manual that can be used either slavishly as a blueprint, or more piecemeal for inspiration or to address specific issues. Throughout, Kevin’s belief that good ideas are available to anyone willing to put in the necessary levels of preparation and diligence, as opposed to the divine right of a few enlightened individuals… Read more
