The big pivot : radically practical strategies for a hotter, scarcer, and more open world
Winston, Andrew S.2014
Books
We live in an extreme world. Our natural resources are under unprecedented pressure as a billion more people enter the global middle class. Extreme weather, driven by climate change, is shattering records all over the planet. Our mega-challenges threaten our ability to run an expanding global economy and profoundly change "business as usual." But they also offer unique opportunities: multi-trillion-dollar markets are in play and the winners of this new game will profit mightily. According to Andrew Winston, bestselling author, the way companies currently operate will not allow them to keep up with the current (and future) rate of change. In his new book, The Big Pivot, Winston provides a blueprint for companies whose leaders are ready to change their views on strategy, to help them both act and win in this new reality. With concrete strategies and tactics--and new stories from companies like Unilever, Nike, Ford, Walmart, and others--The Big Pivotwill help managers everywhere create a more prosperous business, economy, and world.
