"Succeeds in being visionary and pragmatic at the same time. Filled with valuable insights and grounded advice. Gives you an urge to improve everything around you - which is the essence of innovation." --Saku Tuominen, Founder of Idealist Group and Dreamdo. Entrepreneur, executive producer, author, keynote-speaker, innovator and idealist

“The book is a gallery of bright and brilliant innovation stories in our GDE-Global Digital Economy and Me-conomics. It is full of inspiring interviews as well as mind-stimulating ‘Quizzics’. It is demonstrating that the future is in navigating the innovative ecosystems generated by the renewal of National Intellectual Capital, as well as leveraging/embracing the innovative Intellectual Capital multiplier effects of ICT innovation at the enterprise level. Happy Reading!” --Leif Edvinsson, World's First Professor on Intellectual Capital; Brain of the Year 1998 for pioneering Intellectual Capital Navigation; Open Innovation Luminary Awardee 2013

“We can generalize all we like about innovation, but in the end it boils down to people. Some famous, some not. Some whose efforts shift the world, some whose seismic impacts are on the micro scale. What unites them is the gift to see round corners and press on when more rational (ahem) persons hold back. Here are sharply-focused interviews with these doers and some keen observers. I've read them to my profit, and so will you.” --Nigel Cameron, Strategic Adviser, President of the Center for Policy on Emerging Technologies (C-PET) in Washington, DC, and a Principal of C-PET Futures Platform

"Kim Chandler McDonald offers fresh (and brash) voices of unexpected innovators who will delight and inspire people everywhere to find their own creative spark in a "me-conomy" of new possibilities." --Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and bestselling author of Confidence and SuperCorp: How Vanguard Companies Create Innovation, Profits, Growth, and Social Good

“The importance of innovative thought and the collaboration of ideas and inspiration is at the forefront of this collection of interviews and essays. The range of business expertise and acumen is extensive; however it’s important that Kim has also included award winning young people who illustrate that students have great potential and strive for excellence in a wide range of fields that benefit business and society alike. By including these young people and highlighting the non-cognitive skills they deployed to drive change, the book becomes a bridge to discussion among a wide range of ages and interests.” --Sarah Berghorst, Executive Director at OneGoal. As the United States’ only teacher-led college persistence organization, OneGoal identifies, trains and supports the nation's most effective teachers to lead underperforming high school students to reach their full potential and graduate from college. They envision a day when every student has the opportunity to graduate from college. To learn more, please visit www.onegoalgraduation.org.
