It’s the autumn season of new book publishing and I’ve just been sent John Tusa’s latest book, Bright Sparks: How Creativity and Innovation Can Ignite Business Success, about the ways in which creativity works in organisations – an issue of which he has long experience and so has been able to write about with inside knowledge, including interviews with many of the key players. I particularly enjoyed learning more about the establishment of Turquoise Mountain, Rory Stewart’s maverick organisation helping artisans in Afghanistan, but there are also case studies of the National Youth Orchestra and of the work of John Drummond at the Edinburgh Festival. I look forward to his analysis of what went wrong at the British Museum.
