Philips & Dyson are both well regarded for innovation/creativity. Can you elaborate on what you're looking for specifically?

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't think of them. James Dyson's autobiography looks quite interesting.

Not looking for anything too specific, just companies/individuals that display innovation and creativity. Can be anyone from the past or present. No other requirements, otherwise.

I've also thought of Zappos and Netflix as well.

the art of innovation is a very good book

James Dyson and Tony Hsieh of Zappos are great suggestions. I would lean toward Dyson since product creativity and innovation were central in his story, and he's a bit underhyped. Hsieh's creativity centered around building a unique, fun culture for his employees (thus, resulting in happy customers).
