Overview

More Shrapnel Free Explosive Growth builds on the first edition's guides and examples with updating for a world where rapid growth of your company is coupled with facing unexpected changes in the world economy and trust relationships. The book is designed for the leader who is experiencing the discomfort of supporting arrangements that worked when the organisation was smaller, but are now ill-fitted for the more robust needs your growth demands. The methods within will help you empower your own people to design a future-fit organisation. This growth spurt is a common phase in a developing company and the danger is to outsource the new design because you think you haven't the time to do it yourself. This book sets out a six week schedule for you to do just that. With the caution that it is always good to learn the lessons at arm's length from others than by experiencing similar, the book is filled with examples from different geographies and industry types, from the not-for-profit and the corporate. It deals with the challenges of current technological changes, including harnessing AI effectively as a tool, instead of as a replacement for thinking. Throughout the book, the message of building on values and refining your core offer to be currently relevant is repeated in different ways. In six weeks your organisation will be better placed to structure and promote itself well and withstand changes. Your people will be empowered with renewed enthusiasm for the purpose which drives the solutions and products you offer.
