5.0 out of 5 stars
Advice on Creativity, go for change and not improvement,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Whack-A-Mole Theory; Creating Breakthrough and Transformation in Organizations (Paperback)
This book is presents the "change" don't "improve" school of change management, and presents it well. The author starts with the management sage of our time: "Problem Solving Gets You No Where"... Peter Drucker. Then he moves on to explain why dramatic transformational change is so important.What I really liked about the book was: + the author's tips on using metaphores in creativity, On the negative side, the book appeared a little on the breezy side. Lots of cute remarks instead of substance, but overall I got so many good ideas from the book, that I have to give it a 5 ranking. The author comes across as someone very knowledgeable and interested in your application of this information. There's a lot in this book that you won't find in others. John Dunbar

another good book to go with Future Edge & Wide Angle Vision,
By Lee Say Keng "KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURER/TECHNOLOGY... (Ho Chi Minh City/Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Whack-A-Mole Theory; Creating Breakthrough and Transformation in Organizations (Paperback)
This is a self-published book, and the production quality is not so good, if you are used to glossy hardcover books. However, it is jam-packed with excellent material and good examples to help - and guide - managers to explore their own - and their company's future. The author has been a collaborator of Joel Barker, widely recognised as the Paradigm Man who wrote Future Edge (and an earlier book, Discovering the Future: the Business of Paradigms). Just like Wayne Burkan who wrote Wide Angle Vision, the author further expands the paradigm phenomenon with more new business examples, insightful real-world observations and also thought-provoking ideas drawn from his own professional experience. The author's writing is crisp, succinct and clear, and he includes several thoughtful questions at the end of each chapter for reader's reflective responses. I enjoy reading books that poses questions to readers. They make you think about what you have just re!ad, and also reflect on possible actions you may consider to take in your personal or professional context. Together with Future Edge and Wide Angle Vison, I strongly recommend this book to be included in your personal library if you want to be a paradigm buster - to be precise, to be a strategic explorer. The author's other book, 'Get Out of Your Thinking Box' is also worth exploring.

Original and good,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Whack-A-Mole Theory; Creating Breakthrough and Transformation in Organizations (Paperback)
This book is both original and good. The part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.
