There are fully researched and proven alternatives. We cannot afford to continue ignoring the evidence in front of us."

See Flyer. One of "The Unreasonable Thinkers" is Peter Hunter, the author of Breaking the Mould.

News from Down Under Andrew Downard Fresh from his project with the Australian Government Andrew has created a blog on “why customers don’t collaborate and how to address this” and a Supply Chain Risk Assessment Spreadsheet which is available to download. Let Andrew have any feedback. Please do five things! 1. Buy the book! (an e-version will be available shortly) 2. Read it! 3. Write a review on Amazon – when enough reviews are available, the Amazon marketing machine moves into operation telling people on their data base, who have bought other business books, that “Execution to Die For “is a reality. 4.

Tell your colleagues about the book – so that they can order theirs
