Summary

Discover the revolutionary business model that lets you achieve success without the headaches of management or asset ownership.   In a zero space organization, knowledge is the only true currency and people are the only assets that matter. Through eight new organizational principles, Frank Lekanne Deprez and René Tissen illustrate how “zero-mindedness” is essential for the new economy. As organizations evolve into less tangible, less prescribed forms, our thinking must also evolve to become less departmentalized and closely guarded.    This new open-mindedness or “zero mind-set” targets knowledge so that an organization applies it when and where it is really needed. Deprez and Tissen—two top executives at the consulting firm KPMG Knowledge Advisory Services—show how to create a zero-space organization: a value-adding, quick-reacting, non-centralized, non-standardized, innovation-generating workplace for dedicated talent.

    Zenobia is a former industry giant bedeviled by paralyzing hierarchies, grossly inadequate communications, and distrust. It is a broken place, a fortress doomed to collapse upon itself.  Enter Moira, a young woman responding to a cryptic help wanted ad that asks her to report to room 133A – but there are no directions, no sign of the room, and nobody seems inclined to help her find it. As she moves through the Zenobian maze, Moira makes some surprising discoveries about the power of teamwork and the qualities that define true leaders. Her story is interwoven with that of a long-time Zenobia employee named Gallagher, who watches and comments as Moira tries to find the ever-elusive room 133A.  Zenobia reminds us that imagination is one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, elements of business success. Like Moira, those who succeed see what is not yet there, keep faith in their vision, take risks to achieve it, and inspire others to join them. This unusual book will move readers to take a fresh and fearless look at their own organizations and to remember that leadership is not determined by title or position. Rather, as the want ad Moira answers puts it, “Creative persistence a prerequisite. A desire for the extraordinary an absolute must.”

    The Panic of 1907 takes a historical look at what is considered the third worst market crash in history and defines how it relates to the financial markets in 2007, exactly 100 years later. In a detailed and well-written narrative, authors Bruner and Carr take the reader through the story of the crash, beginning with the dramatic story of Charles T. Barney's death (Barney was the deposed president of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, one of the first financial institutions to collapse, who killed himself) and ending with the establishment of the Federal Reserve System (due to calls for government reform). The final chapter details lessons to be learned from the crash, including what the authors call a "potent formula for disaster"; information asymmetry; absence of slack; cognitive biases; overreaching; shock occurs; and, an inadequacy of response.
