I've been reading a book a week for more than 30 years. This one is right up there because the stories are compelling and supported by evidence.
I really valued the practicality of this book too. I've carefully and purposefully undertaken the exercises and in the month it's taken I can clearly see how I can and am providing greater value to my clients and the communities in which they operate.
Whether you just employ yourself or have a few employees or thousands I believe you can apply the model presented to matter more to yourself and to everyone else in your life and work, and in the world.

"Find your Edge of Disruption"
Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2016Verified Purchase
There is no question that a macro trend in today's business climate is that previously defensible markets and niches are becoming increasingly disrupted and/or commoditized. What is particularly useful about this book is that it states, in plain English, what successful companies do to stand out in the minds of customers. In short, these companies step up to the plate and do the hard work of actually solving hard-to-solve problems that their customers face. They get outside of their echo chamber and look externally for information and inspiration. They don't avoid complexity, they treat it as an opportunity to combine old strengths with innovative thinking and action.
Matter is a rallying cry of sorts for today's business leaders. There are no easy solutions in today's increasingly competitive environment, but solutions do exist and the book is filled with examples of companies that have successfully converted challenges into competitive advantages.
