UK 'Traditional approaches to the management of change at best produce results too slowly. Carrol offers an approach which enables faster adaptation to today's nasty surprise. Enormously valuable' Richard Chambers! lately Principal! Lambeth College! UK 'Entertaining and informative! this book aimed at "practical visionaries" has major relevance for third sector organisations facing significant challenges. The focus on value creation through integration of the three models of management! learning and business has an intuitive appeal as well as demonstrating its practical application. I found it a seriously entertaining consideration of managing complexity in uncertain times! providing a modern paradigm which challenges traditional management thinking.

Donal Carroll reinvents the management model to multiply trust! the business model for more complex customer value! and learning model for significant collective learning.
