Packed with exercises and examples, and using the nine tried and tested principles that underpin successful business transformation, this book will enable you to:

(1.) Recognise the key drivers of change for your business

(3.) Involve and empower internal and external stakeholders
(4.) Design and safeguard the future of your business to cope with change and uncertainty
(5.) Create an innovation culture and lead by example

The book also addresses the critical link between diversity and creativity in boardrooms. It advocates diversity both in expertise and ways of thinking to create a positive impact on overall performance. The importance of organisational culture, leadership, and customer centricity is highlighted in creating an innovative business environment.

It is a book to read when it is time to change your business direction and you need a future leadership approach to empower your team to become better at innovation and implementing the new direction. The authors' passion for the subject is evident throughout the book. It is a highly recommended addition to any boardroom member's library.
