A Must-Read, 2008-07-25
The author has an extremely easy/accessible way of getting his point across and clearly knows what he is talking about. The book has been deeply researched and while it draws on a variety of examples - from big business to government, from Nestle to NASA - it is almost always based on information/experiences that are relatable and relevant for managers/leaders in a many lines of business and public sector activity.

The book takes an interesting view on the Balance Scorecard and is a must read for anyone looking to be a successful/strategic manager by managing information most effectively.

Focus and Clarity for a Noisy World, 2008-05-19
Be bold, be humble, be skeptical. A financial plan is often offered in lieu of a strategic plan. Tracking assumptions means that one needs to state them. Focus on the most important and uncertain metrics -not those that the IT department finds easy to track. These are just a few of the many insights I took from this book, and that I have put to work weekly since I took them. I know that Relevance will create tens of billions of dollars worth of value in the workplace; I think we will find it drifting into our personal lives as well -another venue in which we find ourselves awash in information, most of it of little value. A+
