Cracking the Creativity Code: Zoom in/Zoom out/Zoom in Framework for Creativity, Fun, and Success - Softcover

“Who has not fantasized about inventing a world-changing technology and becoming overnight a star like Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates? Ruttenberg and Maital’s new book Cracking the Creativity Code delightfully shows that the talent of creativity can be mastered and developed and is not a privilege for just a few lucky ones. One just has to take the ‘Elevator’ and follow Zi-Zo-Zi, the angel of creativity and the authors’ instructions in order to develop and train the ‘creativity muscles’.I enthusiastically recommend this book to all who would like to learn about the talent of creativity and how to master it.”

(Professor Peretz Lavie President, Technion–Israel Institute of Technology)

“Competitive intensity is forcing every business to look at—what to change, what to change to, and how to change? The winning answers, obviously, depends on the level of creativity in a given organization. This book, with the simple yet powerful principle of Zi-Zo-Zi, coupled with many inspiring stories and many interesting exercises is a great read in helping businesses to democratize creativity, a critical ingredient required to win in the market place.”

“Today’s world demands an innovative bent of mind to succeed. With easy to follow exercises and plenty of real-world examples, Arie Ruttenberg and Shlomo Maital set the readers on a truly rewarding path that helps them unlock their creative potential.”

(J.V. Ramamurthy)

“Not just another book on innovation!!! What sets this book apart is the innovative manner in which the process of creativity and innovation is dissected and presented. There is an art in everything we do while we sometimes fail to recognize the element of science in it. This book brings out the ‘how to’ of innovation and thus making it appealing to individuals who want to unleash their creativity as well as those who want to unleash the potential for innovation in their organization. Early on in the book, the concepts are brought out through an engaging fairy tale, making it refreshingly practical and simple.”

(Thulasiraj Ravilla)

“The literal elevator into the land of imagination presented by the author is reminiscent of the elevator in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl – except this elevator ride starts with the promise of a golden ticket to creativity.”

(Shikhar Mohan)

This is indeed a well-researched and very interesting piece of work in which different aspects of creativity are touched to explore the real meaning out of it. This is a great work to understand the concept ‘creating’ better. The ideas and concepts given by authors are very useful.
