“Steve masterfully brings together his private sector and academic careers to codify and enunciate what many managers in various industries have been dealing with as a result of the massive changes taking place as part of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The ideas and thoughts outlined in this book force a re-evaluation of strategy and management from a completely fresh perspective and spurs the re-thinking of fundamental principles that many of us took for granted in leadership, talent management, and technological innovation. Reflections upon the principles that Steve brings forth will help equip all leaders to embrace disruption as opportunity rather than challenge - driving sustainable growth and innovation.” (from Amazon)

LONGLISTED: CMI Management Book of the Year 2021 The business world is currently experiencing fundamental disruption, in part driven by the technology enabled Fourth Industrial Revolution. Corporate value is created and lost in breathtakingly short periods, and the rise of 'unicorns' against the demise of once-venerated organizations has shown that how firms compete has changed. Management and Leadership in the 4th Industrial Revolution presents a framework for managing and winning in the new accelerated world of business, focusing on the key capabilities organizations now need to achieve competitively superior performance. Building on the 'dynamic capabilities' approach already familiar to strategists and based around his own research, Stephen Wyatt shows how executives can assess the dynamic capacity of their organization - a leading indicator of future performance in comparison to their industry peers. Written in an accessible style with best practice examples from companies and quotes from executives to support each insight, this book includes a self-assessment questionnaire to measure the dynamic capacity of your organization and advice on how to strengthen areas of relative weakness. Management and Leadership in the 4th Industrial Revolutionoffers timely insights on driving innovation and emphasizes the importance of long-term strategy, change management and new models of dynamic leadership.
