Roger von Oech

The leading US creativity guru, von Oech has a light, easy style. He concentrates particularly on the blocks to creativity and how to remove them. von Oech has gone beyond the traditional book form with the highly successful Whack Pack, a set of cards to stimulate creativity. This is available as PC software too, but having tried both we find the actual pack much more effective in practice.

A Kick in the Seat of the Pants. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
If you liked A Whack on the Side of the Head then you ought to have the sequel too. More of the same, but not simply a re-hash. Like its predecessor, the coffee table approach to a creativity book - but none the worse for it.

Creative Whack Pack. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
A creativity toolkit using von Oech's techniques. Comes in the form of a four suit pack with different cards representing different techniques. Excellent stimulation for a creativity session.

  Expect the Unexpected Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
A neat idea, using quotes from ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus to stimulate creativity. It's essentially a whole (small) book based on a single creativity technique - using a random quote as stimulation, and the Heraclitus quotes can verge on fortune cookie cheesiness, but von Oech pulls it off well, and it's useful (and cheap) addition to the creativity library.  New 1 February 2005

Innovative Whack Pack. Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
In 2003, von Oech added another card-based toolkit to his Whack Pack line. Each card has a saying from the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, then a technique built around the saying. Like it's predecessor, an excellent stimulation for a creativity session. New 22 April 2004.

A Whack on the Side of the Head. Visit bookstore
Champion of the less formal style of business creativity, von Oech's approach may be a bit too zany for some European audiences, but he knows his stuff and puts it across with verve. Don't let the surface gloss put you off a very solid content.
