Description
Faster rates of change in the business world and in the world around us mean that we need to get ‘out of our boxes’ just to adapt productively to the changes taking place, let alone to develop a competitive edge for the future. Business Beyond the Box is about developing the ability to create a flow of ideas that will bring about a step-change in actual results. It is about applying your mind to eight thinking strategies that work, based on a new concept called triangular thinking. Linear or vertical thinking was always close to tunnel vision. Then came lateral thinking, which brought a breadth of thought, but often ended up with ideas too impractical for business. Triangular thinking solves these limitations by being directly focused on bottom-line business results. It involves doing three things together: picturing a step-change, building know-how, and using creative thinking – all focused on achieving breakthrough, real-world results. This is a breakthrough book because the strategies it outlines are surprisingly effective at getting breakthrough results from relatively easy changes.
