... and we all are!
Roos and Oliver manage to use the images of 'knowledge landscapes' to help us to identify where individual, communital or organisational 'knowledge landscapes' are. It helps us narrow or broaden our horizon and, in short, to find a balance in our organisations to better adapt (and lead!) the business we are in.
I found that after reading this excellent book I personally used knowledge lanscape images in all my work with clients and colleagues and -he, why not!- in my private life.
A 10 out of 10.

Roos and Oliver put an amazingly fresh and actionable perspective on the important issue of dealing with complexity and ambiguity in organizations. They do a great job in striking a difficult balance by making their serious conceptual thinking an entertaining and exciting reading, never becoming too academic or too trivial. A rare bird in today's glut of cheap management advice!

"Finally, a book which captures the 'how to' of adaptive tension. The notion of balance is important to corporations, and Oliver and Roos have expressed it in a manner that any practicing manager can put into action."
-Michael Lissack, Editor-in-Chief, Emergence: A Journal of Complexity Issues In Organizations and Management
