Available in hardcover and as an e-book: Innographics
There it is, finally! My book Innographics is here 😅!
About 10 years ago, I created my first "innographic": a visual summary of the book Ten Types of Innovation. The responses were so positive at the time that over the years, I ended up creating a total of 28 innographics, which I started distributing through the Innovative Dutch website. You are probably on this email list since you downloaded one of my innographics. Since there are now so many of them, I thought it would be fun to bundle the innographics into a cohesive story in a book.
Easier said than done, but after many revisions, the book is finally ready. And it feels really good, ticking that off the bucket list. The price is a bit high because it has become a large-format, high-quality print work that will initially be printed in a small edition. But the content more than makes up for it 😀.
It is now available for purchase as a hardcover and e-book on my website and will soon be available in bookstores and on bol.com.
