Strategy Crowd

We have read many books about the future. Most recent “The day after tomorrow”, “Thank you for being late” and “The industries of the future”. All about the speed of change. They are all excellent.  You should add “No Ordinary Disruption: The Four Global Forces Breaking All the Trends” to the list. What makes this […]

What will tomorrow bring? I am a fan of Peter Hinssen. His “The network always wins” is brilliant. The key message from that book is clock speed. In his latest book “The day after tomorrow”, he is asking four pertinent questions to help you with that a bit more: Why is it almost impossible for

The merging of enterprise and social enterprise. The Big Pivot was written in 2014. And at that stage, it was ahead of its time.

Before I read this book I would say anything environmental, AI, robotics, biotech (that include genetics), IoT, neuroscience, space, gaming and health. There is an obvious overlap between those sectors.

What business books to read over the summer? We get that question a lot. Time to switch off The first answer is that you should consider not reading a business book. I have started the Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series and I would highly recommend that first. Time to switch off, recharge the battery and

“Difference.” I am a fan of Bernadette Jiwa. Her book “Difference”  was an interesting read and an interesting take on marketing. About meaning, emotion, storytelling, caring, empathy and “tiny markets of someone”. She introduced “The Difference Model”. The model is built around six pillars: principles, purpose, people, personal, perception and product. A marketing version of the

Climate change Below you will find two perspectives on climate change. A dark one and an optimistic one. The dark one The dark one is “The end of Western Civilisation, a view from the future”.Written as if a hundred year in the future, looking back on how we messed up the response to climate change.

Books about mindfulness I have been reading a lot of books about mindfulness. The ones I remember are “The monk who sold his Ferrari”, “The here and now”, “The Tibetan book of living and dying”, “The road less travelled”, “The Celestine Prophecy”, “The Tao of Physics” and “Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far
