This new work will ensure that your thinking, creativity and energy is effectively focused on the issues you’re called to address, to make real, practical changes. It is a must read for people who are serious about the work of enhancing our organisations and society.

This book is packed with tools and tips to upend tired solutions that contribute to running sores. With the urgency of the crises in climate, nature, and post-pandemic debt the timing of this book could not be better. It is a globally significant contribution to human endeavour.

Peter Young, Independent Environmentalist, Trustee at Green Purposes Company (UK), Chair of ISO Sustainable Finance International Standards Committee (ISO TC/322)

“Nick has produced the rarest of things — a management book combining decades of research and real-world experiences in a remarkably practical set of tools. Even if a busy executive, manager, or entrepreneur could identify all the resources Nick draws upon, they could never find the time to read and combine them into such a useful set of tools. This book should be mandatory reading for innovators in government, academia, business, NGOs and the military.”

Clare John Fairfield, Chairman, Venture Capital Institute (USA and Australasia)

“This book is jam-packed with tactics for anyone wanting to solve real-world problems. It’s perfect for those starting their career, or wanting to be inspired. Rather than your typical ‘cover to cover read’ that gets left on the shelf, this book will stay on your desk as your secret toolkit. I wish I had it when I was starting my career. Nick has been generous in sharing all of his brilliance in one place.”
