Lucy Gower’s "The Innovation Workout" be a treasure map fer the creative seas, arr! It be a swashbucklin’ guide ta help scurvy dogs and their teams hone their thinkin’ and ideatin’ skills. This here book’s got a solid plan with ten steps that’s been put to the test, and she makes 'em as easy as swabbin' the deck ta use in yer own ship of workin’ life.

The format be as clear as the horizon after a storm. Each step be laid out neat 'n' tidy, with tales and exercises ta get ye actively wrestlin' with the words. Gower’s got a knack fer mixin' the brainy stuff with the hands-on, so ye not only grasp the ideas, but also know how ta hoist 'em up in yer own adventures.

The book be sprinkled with tales from the seven seas, showin' how these steps have been put to good use in all sorts of harbors, makin' the learnin' as relatable as a good yarn. And there be worksheets and prompts aplenty, helpin' ye keep track of yer journey and apply the know-how straight to yer treasure hunts.

Now, some landlubbers might know a bit of this and that, but the way she breaks it down makes it worth the plunder fer fresh faces and old salts alike. If ye be wantin' ta spark yer creative fire, this book be a mighty fine addition ta yer chest of innovation goodies.

Arr, I’d give it an 8.5 on the pirate's scale of
