THE ENTERPRISE--ORDER THE COMPLEXITY CRISIS NOW--(while quantities last)
SURPRISE! MY NEW BOOK IS "OUT."
I came home from a trip to find a big surprise--the publisher must have been able to squeeze in the print run of my book, THE COMPLEXITY CRISIS...and here they are--available now--before Christmas! That means I will devote this edition of THE ENTERPRISE to encouraging you to buy quantities of the book and use them as Christmas gifts, (or handouts) to your clients, your organization, and your friends.
UNIQUE AMONG MY BOOKS
This book is unique among my books. Most of them talk about how to do things "Strategically" or explain what topics like Branding, Marketing and Partnerships are all about. This one tells you how to SAVE MONEY! AND MAKE MORE MONEY!
THIS BOOK, IF READ AND APPLIED, CAN SAVE EVERY COMPANY A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. The book retails for $20, and can be bought nearly everywhere for under $15. The return on that small expenditure (presuming the book is opened, and even part of it is read and applied) will be $15,000 savings or a 1000 to 1 return. That's not bad. In larger companies, the return will be even bigger than that! I know--I have seen it happen. A 10,000 to 1 return is a nice thought to consider, isn't it?
USEFUL FOR EVERY TYPE OF POSITION
If you are a consultant, give them to your clients--but give them enough for the people one level below the VPs (that's where the real work gets done)--but be also give them to the VPs and Presidents too.
If you are an investor, make sure to get books for that level of management in each company in which you have an equity position. Once again, the cost is minimal compared to the return from just some of the parts of the book being read, understood, and the practices implemented.
If you are a manager or executive, this book is the perfect Christmas gift. It will help the people in the company become more effective both at work, and personally. And your company will perform better. Get copies especially for your suppliers... and for your customers too.
If you are an educator, plan a portion of a course based on the book's content. You will be among the first in the country to do so. (Did you know there is a Ph. D. in Complexity offered at one British College?)
If you are a friend or colleague--just "buy some" and use them for Christmas gifts. Everyone from college age kids on up will be able to understand most parts of the book. Everyone who works in any kind of job will learn enough to be more effective.
TIPS ON ORDERING:
Right now, I know amazon.com has it in stock at a good price, as does www.bamm.com.
The other sites listed on my web page (http://www.thecomplexitycrisis.com) will also likely have them in the next few days.
As I learn more, I will release updates.
Well, don't just sit there. Make a list of who gets them and how many copies you need. ;-) If the first print run sells out quickly, there may be a wait before a second run gets into distribution.
I've been telling you all about this for most of a year. Now it's here.
Best, John
PS: IF YOU WANT TO BUY SOME NOW AND THEN GET MORE LATER, YOU CAN GET 2008 OFF TO A GREAT START BY USING THIS BOOK AS THE TOPIC FOR JANUARY DISCUSSIONS IN YOUR COMPANY. FUTURE EDITIONS OF THE ENTERPRISE WILL ADD "HOW TO TIPS."
