sample chapter: first be nimble

If this book has engaged and inspired you to bring the power and simplicity of ‘think one team’ to your organisation, then first be nimble might be just what you need to take things to a whole new level.

Have you had enough of trying to just keep up with change and disruption?

Is it time for your team and business to do some disrupting of its own?

Would you like a model and toolkit that can really change the game?

If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then first be nimble is what you’re looking for; however, don’t expect a comfortable ride.

Instead, expect to be challenged to ‘let go and welcome the squirm’, to ‘be brave, not busy’ and to ‘leap, learn and adapt’.

First be nimble is written in a similar narrative style to think one team but with a sharper edge in plot, language and approach. There’s an engaging story and it’s fast and even confronting at times. And there’s also a method, but it’s less clear and more adaptive.

While think one team is about transforming culture, first be nimble goes a step further and puts digital technology at the centrepiece of disrupting a business model that’s threatened with extinction.

It’s entertaining, it’s thought-provoking and here’s the first chapter to whet your appetite for chocolate frogs and some other delights.
