4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful!, 1 Mar 2004

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book disserves itself by purporting to be merely about scenario planning, although it covers that subject thoroughly. In fact, it's one of the most lucid, interesting examinations of fortune and folly you will ever read. The recapitulation of disastrous episodes at a handful of once-great companies shows just how little inclined the gods are to spare the proud. Closed minds and entrenched habits of thought managed to afflict even such a venturesome New Economy firm as Yahoo! Originality and experimentation bless even companies in humdrum industries, such as packaging. Captivating anecdotes and illustrations are, in fact, the meat of the book. The scenario planning analysis, while solid, is less convincing than the cases themselves. At times, the book shows the weaknesses that are probably inevitable when so many authors share creation. It tends to meander and, now and then, loses its way in jargon-choked thickets. But, we assure you, the clarity of the cases redeems it and makes it valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linking everything together, 15 Oct 2002

By	Mrs Lindy Sills (South Croydon, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is the first book that I have read that links individual, group and community flaws in organisations, these issues have been treated in isolation in other books. For the first time I can see the difficulties in making interventions in my organisation. This book should provoke managers, consultants, OD specilists, everyone who is concerned with sustainability into thinking deeply about their actions. The authors also provide a framework to think about the use of scenario thinking in the context of ongoing organisational learning activities. Our organisation is now thinking about all our initiaitives and how these should be linked together.
