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

Business Alchemy
In this enlightening and engaging book, Andrew Wallas views the company from a metaphysical perspective to provide a new approach to transforming the organization. Business Alchemy focuses on the inner dynamics and energy flow within the organization itself, seeing where there is visible and hidden contradiction working against the aims of the company. It is by taking a deeper look inside of your company (instead of focusing on the outer machinations of your business), and by bringing these (often unconscious) blocks to light, that energy is released and the company is then free to move forward, fully aligned with its stated objectives and goals. This is a unique perspective on how companies can evolve and grow naturally and successfully.

The Business Bullshit Book
If you work in business, the chances are you have fallen under the poisonous spell of business bullshit and jargon. Very few of us seem able to avoid “reaching out”, or “walk the talk”, or “shifting paradigms”, or “think outside the box”. No longer solely the province of management consultants, investors and MBA types, business gobbledygook has mesmerized the rank and file around the globe.
Help is at hand with this The Business Bullshit Book, aptly described as “the world’s most comprehensive collection” of the top 2,000 business terms and jargon that have infected us all. Stay sane (and keep your colleagues and customers from suffocating you) from the business bullshit madness by having this dictionary by your side. Based on his wide and extensive experience with business bullshit, Kevin Duncan deciphers the terms and language of modern-day business speak.
