<p><i>“This is a gem of a book – one you’ll read then keep in your bottom drawer so you can dip in and out of it to bring clarity to your thinking” </i>(PR Week, June 2015)<br /><br /><i>"Earls has written a thoughtful and well-presented volume here"</i> (The Irish Times, June 2015)<br /><br /></p> <p><i>“ an entertaining book…”</i> (Flight Time, August 2015)</p>
We all want new answers and new solutions for the very real and pressing challenges that our organizations face. New things to point to and talk about, new ways of working and new ways of thinking that might just be better than the old ways.
But rather than this endless search for a brilliant and novel solution, why don't you just copy something that’s worked before?

‘This delightful book argues convincingly that transferring ideas usually produces greater value than cooking them up from scratch. And then shows you how.’ — Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy London and the Spectator Magazine’s Wikiman
‘Yet another entertaining handbook from the acclaimed Herdmeister for anyone involved in marketing, behavioural change and understanding why we all make the choices we make. Earls convincingly disrupts convention about what is innovation – though "praxis". This is jammed with great case studies and 52 actionable strategies.’ — Stephen Maher, Chairman, The Marketing Society and CEO, MBA
‘Yet again this leading British business thinker has got us to see the world we inhabit today in fresh and mind-altering ways. A book which marries theory and practice better than the vast majority out there.
