Book Reviews

We don't just 'talk the talk' on continuous improvement, we believe that keeping abreast of new ideas, revisiting some old ones and engaging with client requirements is central to what we do. In reviewing the value we add we decided to not keep this information to ourselves, and to share summaries with our wider network. The book reviews below are our attempt to do this, we welcome your feedback.

A number of factors influence our decisions including projects we are currently working on, opportunities we identify for clients, and just general interest.

The books we are going to review over the next few months include:

• Business Model Generation: A Handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur
• Tribes by Seth Godin

If you would like to suggest a book, or to borrow one of the books we have reviewed please contact Oliver Morley.
