About this audiobook
Detonate explains how organizations built up bad habits, identifies which ones masquerade as "best practices," and suggests alternatives that can contribute to winning in the marketplace. With a focus on optimism and empowerment, it focuses on an approach and mindset which are critical to successfully compete in an era characterized by profound technological advances and uncertainty.
- Core themes challenge how you think about and approach problems
- Case studies illustrate the challenges you face and how to overcome them
- Recommendations are pragmatic and steer clear of suggesting a brand-new, complicated wiring diagram
- Actionable advice provides the first steps down an evolutionary path
If you want to compete differently in today's marketplace and to challenge the things your company does which you have a nagging feeling are actually just a waste of time-and maybe value-destroying-Detonate gives you what you need to ignite change.

But we believe we have entered an era in which continuing to blindly follow business playbooks may cause an existential threat to the average business. Detonate is our solution to this problem.
When you make the safe choice, and when you avoid pain – and when you run with the herd – it's hard, by definition, to stand out from the pack in the eyes of your customers.
