Product Description
Product Description
New Rules for the New World is about what goes wrong and why, about the path from good (and often correct) intention to disaster. It is about the bumpy road from a great idea to complete industry failure. And its about how to avoid that road.
This is a book of stories. Each tale paints a picture of good intentions gone wrong. Through the stories you will meet a cast of characters familiar to anyone in business – the Empowering Manager, the Uncertain Strategist, the Global Communicator and the Merged Chief Executive. Each story has a moral, a New Rule for the New World, a practical rule that would have prevented failure.

From the Inside Flap
New Rules for the New World Even if you have read every book on the shelf, and taken the best available advice from inside your organisation and from consultants, and put in place a painstakingly crafted plan for implementing strategic change, and motivated your colleagues and staff behind the plan…the chances are that it will all go horribly wrong. It nearly always does. New Rules for the New World is about what goes wrong and why, the path from good (and often correct) intention to disaster. It is about the bumpy road from a great idea like ‘Why don’t we benchmark against our competitors?’ to complete industry failure, to Queen of the Pigs (you benchmarked against organisations that are themselves failing). And it’s about how to avoid that road. This is a book of stories. Each tale paints a picture of good intentions gone wrong. Through the stories you will meet a cast of characters familiar to anyone in business – the Empowering Manager, the Uncertain Strategist, the Global Communicator and the Merged Chief Executive. Each story has a moral, a new rule for the New World. A practical rule which would have prevented failure. The Financial Times calls Obeng an agent provocateur. New Rules for the New World will provoke you into your future.
