Product review (5 stars): The World from Different Perspectives
Alan Gregerman believes that innovation comes from viewing problems from different and fresh perspectives.  In The Necessity of Strangers, he tells short, simple stories to help free us from current, legacy views of the problem at hand.  He then provides a toolbox containing practical exercises - to stretch our thinking, to collaborate more effectively, to find strangers - all focused on getting us to view problems from different perspectives.  The Necessity of Strangers is a quick read that I keep on the desk as a constant reminder to seek novel views from new sources.  Like matter to anti-matter, The Necessity of Strangers is the perfect and completing complement to his earlier Surrounded by Geniuses.  Gil Miller, Chief Technology Officer, Noblis
