If you need to improve your creative thinking abilities or learn some in the first place, de Bono offers techniques and examples. As long as you understand the current management jargon, you'll have no problems with de Bono's theories, which include references to "design thinking" and "six thinking hats." David Ackroyd is admirable; however, his words echo. There are several places where phrases are repeated until the editing staff woke up to listen. Otherwise, the reading is clear and understandable for the modern manager to absorb.
