Jeff DeGraff is my guest on episode 42 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Jeff is both an advisor to Fortune 500 companies and a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. His simultaneously creative and pragmatic approach to making innovation happen has led clients and colleagues to dub him the “Dean of Innovation.”
He has written several books, including Leading Innovation, Innovation You, and The Innovation Code. His most recent book, The Creative Mindset, brings 6 creativity skills to everyone and is now available.
Jeff is a business owner, professor, and says, “Everyone is creative. We are just creative in different ways and in a wide variety of situations. Believing you are creative is the first step to mastering a creative mindset. Once you do that, you can make innovation happen anywhere and anytime.”
