Tom Peters about IDEO

"In recent years, as the L.O.I. (Legend of IDEO) has spread far and wide, the company has had clients begging for advice not just on a product or two, but on the IDEO way of innovating. It has responded vigorously." Their "methodology not only works for IDEO, but has proven to be transferable. It's not quite simple, of course. Beneath the IDEO method lies the incredible, throbbing IDEO spirit that led me to love at first sight."
