DESCRIPTION:
Fantastic, eye opening book! This is a hidden gem of a book. It was published in 2011 and this is the first review it gets. It addresses arguably the most important strategic field in an era of high complexity and extreme volatility: that of WEAK SIGNALS. The way the authors deal with weak signals is really unique: a step-by-step process, simple yet profound, spiced with multiple interesting real-life cases that add to the value of the book.This is mandatory reading for CEOs, Strategy officers and consultants and every top manager who wants to be ahead of the game.
Focusing on the concept of a weak signal, this book provides methods for anticipating problems and dealing with blind spots. Numerous applications are also presented throughout.. Yet there were actually early warning signals, but they were often ignored due to a lack of appropriate methodology. Along with examples of this concept, the authors provide answers to questions of feasibility, including how to recognize a weak signal, and how to exploit it. The expression "We did not see it coming!" has often been heard in recent years from decision makers at the highest levels of the private and public sectors
