Insight Trading
by Nick Fleming and Susanne Cooper
Collaborating to transform the infrastructure that shapes society
Simple methods powerfully applied
The insights and methods contained in Insight Trading are relevant to a suite of industry sectors and organisations, large and small.
Insight Trading offers immediate, practical value to progressive leaders from the executive suite to roles in asset management, project leadership, and procurement. Investors, owners and operators of public and private infrastructure will be equipped to find solutions that achieve more with less, are fit for purpose, cost effective and enduring.
The concepts and tools in Insight Trading go to the heart of the complex infrastructure challenges facing government and business – negotiating the evolving regulatory landscape while maintaining a social licence to operate and enhancing returns on investment.
The “how to” approach emphasised in the book is underpinned by practical tools that enable a deeper, systemic appreciation of the situation being tackled. They focus effort on the problems that really matter and enable elegantly simple yet profoundly effective solutions.
The authors observe that:
-
Systems thinking is key to understanding important factors and relationships that shape the operating context for an organisation, project or asset
-
An integrated approach is needed to understand related risks and issues, and to conceive smart solutions
-
Asking the right questions can reframe the problem, shift thinking and play a profoundly important role in generating transformative solutions
-
Genuinely collaborative approaches provide the basis to gain valuable insights and competitive advantage
-
Innovation needn’t be left to chance; good processes will enhance its value and repeatability
