“There is nothing new under the sun.”
Though coined more than 2,000 years ago, this truism has straight-line relevance to today’s business world. Because while every business situation you confront is unique, it is invariably made up of questions and elements that have been confronted-and solved-by others before you.
From ancient strategist Sun Tzu through latter-day business legends like Jack Welch, Steve Jobs, and many others, the value of adopting great ideas and adapting them to one’s own benefit is well known. The Art of What Works provides you with a ready guide for systematically implementing what was until now simply intuitive, and show you how to build successful new strategic frameworks by first observing what works? and just as important, what doesn’t? in the real world.
