Author of Innovation: Case by Case
Innovation: Case by Case: How the de Bono Thinking Systems Have Transformed Companies Across the Globe, was published in 2004. This first ever compilation of printed success stories contains more than 20 case studies in which the de Bono tools have made significant, positive changes to businesses and individuals worldwide.
Barbara Stennes is extremely excited to make this helpful resource available. “Since I became certified to train others in the de Bono methods, I have had client organizations relate story after story about the results they've experienced with these powerful thinking tools. Many of the success stories have been told and retold but were never made available anywhere in print. I felt like we were long overdue in capturing these stories, and I wanted to make them available to certified trainers and anyone else who is interested.”
