Why collaborative learning is the competitive advantage

New challenges need appropriate thinking, concepts, frameworks and tools.  It's great to have a dream but sensible to be able to transform the dream from possibility to opportunity to reality.

What people say about Eddie Obeng:

'Making it happen' is Obeng’s constant refrain and his books are an antidote to the dryness of much managerial theorising. They come complete with their lessons in fictional form and implementation techniques such as rat-holing, blowing bubbles and the sticky steps approach to planning. Old world they are not.
