REVIEWS
Very informative and on the money, dealing with the behaviours and actions required to get a data culture working that will deliver real business benefits. I’m already modifying & tweaking my own behaviours and interactions, excellent stuff!
Lee Taylor, Senior Insights Expert, Shell
I believe Seeing Around Corners is the most relevant business book I have read this year. Every leader should read this; whether they are in a start-up or major corporation. It is a book for now, and one that gives you confidence in a period of such uncertainty and disruption.
Mark Sutherland, Chief Technology Officer, Capita plc
The evolution of ‘Big Data’ and advanced analytics is not about data or information technology, it’s about rethinking the fundamentals about how we lead and manage organizations. It has the potential to be the biggest force to shape organizations since the industrial revolution. Seeing Around Corners brings to life the transformational potential of the new data paradigm and powerfully demonstrates the need to re-think how leaders make decisions. A must read for anyone who wants to be a leader in any organization.
Dr. Mark Powell, UK Head of Insights and Data, Capgemini Ltd

Wild Knowledge: Outthink the Revolution
Today, we live and do business in a world where society gathers knowledge faster than it gathers wisdom. It is a world of continuous revolution and change. Those who manage to find, structure and exploit the power of "Wild Knowledge" - ie, the untamed data, learnings and experiences that flourish in our lives and minds - will come out the winners. In combination, we need to develop our ability to understand and judge which aspects of that knowledge are applicable to business and life in general. This is the so-called "Vicious Wisdom" which will force you to unlearn, to choose an approach of unthinking, in order to reach a deeper understanding, meaning and reason in your quest to find new and different solutions. This book, written by a leading futurist/philosopher, presents a powerful and radical approach to thinking about and solving our future lives and businesses.
