Ours is a time of profound change that holds the seed of almost unlimited opportunities for those with the vision, courage, and ability to seize them. Swamp Fox Insights dispels the notion that commercializing innovations is a crap shoot - that the only way to be successful is to make a large number of bets and hope for a few monster home runs. Swamp Fox outlines a systematic, risk-managed process to guide leaders in making critical decisions that impact the success of their high-impact companies.

Innovation and wisdom,

This review is from: Swamp Fox Insights: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in a Time of Profound Change (Paperback)
John ties the wisdom he's found from being on the boards of several highly successful start ups with the entrepreneurial/economic theory found in some of the best books on the subject in a way that is both very readable and concise. I loved the quotes, and the stories from his own past. A must read for anyone thinking of starting out on their own. Also extremely well referenced, and will lead you to several other great books on the topic. I read it in a Saturday afternoon.
