The Way of the Innovation Master (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789491156007)

Teacher, traveller, artist, writer, Eurocrat and entrepreneur, Jeffrey Baumgartner has led an eclectic life that has spanned three continents and included careers that have ranged from teaching English in Portugal to launching one of Thailand's first Internet and multimedia production houses; from writing magazine columns in Asia to promoting e-commerce in Europe through the European Commission. Along the way, he has learned a great deal about how groups of people behave and, particularly, innovate. He developed this knowledge into a structured innovation process and commercialised it in 2003 by founding jpb.com, a leading innovation process management software and consultancy company with offices in the Brussels and New York City areas as well as representative offices around the world. In addition, Jeffrey co-founded and co-manages the Brussels Imagination Club, a non-profit group devoted to experimentation in teaching and facilitation. He has also written widely on creativity and innovation in the eJournal Report 103. His articles have been reprinted in magazines, books, theses, blogs and newsletters. Jeffrey currently lives with his two sons and two cats in Erps-Kwerps, Belgium. Company web site at http: //www.jpb.com/
