Collective Intelligence

The real lesson from Amazon, Google and the like – that enables them to keep winning year after year – is that they do business intelligently. Business is complex, which is why it requires a deep, practical intelligence to survive, let alone thrive. This book shows why businesses that act smartest, and display an organizational capacity for critical thinking, underpinned with clear and effective communication, allowing them to develop razor-sharp focus, are the ones that really stand out and achieve sustained success.   

 

Mindful Command

This is a book about the essence of skilful leadership: what really matters, why it works, and what any leader can do to improve their effectiveness and their impact on the world. It offers a crystal-clear view of what good leadership looks like and a simple, original conceptual framework for evolving it throughout life.    

 

The Sustainable Business Book

All businesses today face increasing pressure from customers and legislation to improve their sustainability credentials. Moreover, companies’ employees and shareholders are demanding the same. Yet, many companies are playing catch-up and urgently need to get on track for the future. This book explains how companies – small or large – can do that in a series of practical stages.

 

 

The Smart Branding Book

This book presents in a concise fashion the latest thinking and methods for successful branding. Clear and accessible, it contains real-life examples from business, practical frameworks, and inspiring illustrations. It explains what branding really is, why a brand is so critical to success in business, and how to maximize the growth of your current and future products/services through branding.

 

The Sky Is No Limit

This is the first volume in the autobiography of a person who a commentator described as “a true Indiana Jones meets 007 James Bond”. Per Wimmer’s life story is far from ordinary and very much driven by the desire to push boundaries. This first volume covers Per’s formative years, his growing fascination for adventure, travel and space, and the growth of his career in international finance, culminating in the founding of Wimmer Financial.
