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.

Super Signs
There is a form of creativity so powerful that it only takes one look and one listen for millions of consumers to remember it, like it, buy it, and tell others about it. These are so-called Super Signs - the brands that are embedded in human culture and hidden deep in our subconscious.
This book takes a fresh approach to branding, and explores how to turn brands into Super Signs in today's competitive and ever-changing world. Super Signs are the most effective and powerful means of influencing a consumer's actions. From a branding point of view, Super Signs are the ultimate level that your brand can reach -- a level where the brand triggers an instinctive reaction in thought and action from the consumer.

High Frequency Change
Analysis, Current Affairs, Digital, Economy, Entrepreneurs, Innovation, Management, Philosophy, Positive Change, Tom Cheesewright
We are dizzy trying to keep up with the constant flood of newness across every aspect of our lives. And it's clear that some of our biggest companies are facing similar challenges. Each week another big brand name fails. Why is this?
Change is like a wave: it has both amplitude and frequency. The last century was about change of great amplitude, big waves washing over the whole society. But this century is about high frequency change: rapid, smaller waves, each powerful enough to disrupt an industry. This book explains how we can understand high frequency change, what drives it, and how we must respond by changing the way we run our organisations - and our lives.
