The model behind the book

Agile Business Innovation

Four dimensions, eight factors, one fixed order of intervention. Inspiring leadership sits at the centre.

Forthcoming book

Changing the tides, not just the waves

Ten chapters on making a business genuinely able to renew itself.

The four dimensions

  • Anticipation — looping, then learning
  • Innovation — creativity, then commercialisation
  • Direction — purpose, then structure
  • Cooperation — priorities, then partnership

The order is fixed. You loop back to the start once you reach partnership.
