The Art of Business - Make All Your Work a Work of Art

Stan Davis, David McIntosh

Sinopsis

Stan Davis is author of the bestselling books BLUR (more than 250,000 copies sold), 2020 Vision (more than 100,000 copies sold), and Future Perfect (more than 100,000 copies sold)
Shows how bringing an artistic sensibility to business can improve business performance and increase personal work satisfaction
Includes detailed, practical advice for implementing the ideas in the book, as well as a wealth of real-world examples
The arts are important to many people in their personal lives, but they don't see any way of incorporating art into their work and business. In this groundbreaking book, visionary business authors Stan Davis and David McIntosh argue that not only is this possible, but that applying an artistic sensibility to business will actually improve business performance.
Traditionally, business focuses only on the economic flow of inputs (resources, raw materials), outputs (products and services) and processes that help get you from one to the other (research and development, production, distribution). Davis and McIntosh show that there's an artistic flow that operates the same way, but with different particulars. Inputs here include things like emotion, imagination and intuition; and outputs include things like beauty, meaning, excitement and enjoyment. To bridge these aesthetic inputs and outputs, the authors show how to apply creative processes from the arts to business, and how to connect with customers the way great performers connect with audiences.
Through real-world examples and practical advice, The Art of Business shows how applying this concept of artistic flow enables you to come up with more creative solutions to problems, develop better new products, and provide your customers with the kinds of emotionally and aesthetically satisfying experiences they've come to expect in this high contact, mulimedia age. It gives you an additional--rather than alternative--approach to the established economic model of how things get done. And it will make your own work experience infinitely more satisfying.

Design Thinking

IntroBooks Team

The Present world is service oriented. Without a proper structure, no system can work, and services cannot be rendered successful. Moreover, for the proper structure, the practice of design thinking is the perfect answer. Design Thinking is not a newly emerged concept and remains rooted in society for a very long time. The concept of design thinking is useful for designing and understanding context relating to any businesses. Design thinking may seem vague and a capable subject for all, however, the same is not true and requires thorough planning. If general reports are to be taken, design thinking has five stages, and each stage has its importance. Design thinking brings out the creativity of a person, and the scope of the same has widened in the modern day where one encounters various problems even in day to day activities. Design thinking is a way to attain success and is an essential factor of development and growth.

Mark Robertson

Learn how you can craft your high-converting sales funnel and turn more and more leads into customers!In this audiobook, I am going to give you an introduction to the exact price points, and what to include in your reverse funnel.Now, in your case, you don't have to use these exact price points, so this is just going to be an example.What you'll be able to do in your business is to take this example and compare it to what you have in your niche. You may think about what your competitors are offering, although that's not normally the way that I like to think about pricing, because you're positioning yourself as the only expert that is the very best in the world at doing X, Y, Z. And when you're the only expert in the world that can do X, Y, Z, you can charge more than anybody else, because you're the only person in the world that can do it.It creates an incredible level of scarcity for you. You're the only person in the world that can do it, so if someone wants to learn what you know, they must purchase it from you. By default, therefore, they must pay your price. It gives you an incredible amount of pricing control when you position sales the way that I've been teaching.

Reboot - How to Manage Career...

Issac John

'It's hard for me to say this, knowing the great feedback most of my peers had for you, but at this stage for our business in India, we just require someone who has some more entertainment marketing experience than you do. Hence, we wouldn't be taking your candidature forward for this position.' 
 
When Issac quit his dream job of Head of Marketing at PUMA in 2015 and took a career break to study screenwriting in New York, little did he know what he had signed up for. 
Over the next eighteen months, he would face over a hundred rejections from famed brands, headhunters, publishers, talent agencies and producers. After being rejected in the final interview rounds of brands like Uber, Netflix and Airbnb, he slowly and steadily clawed his way back into a mainstream career. Issac went on to lead a team of over a hundred people at Discovery, having built their direct-to-consumer OTT business in Asia-Pacific (discovery+), and has authored two books - all in a span of five years since that career break. 
Over the past two years, Issac spoke to more than fifty working professionals, all of whom went through a break in their career for various reasons. Reboot is an intimate, honest and rich compendium of all those experiences, mistakes, lows and highs that people confronted with a career break go through. It shares the message that no matter the odds you are up against, a career break is always temporary, and, in many cases, it can even prove to be life-changing.
