'At Jacobs, our people, over 60000 worldwide, are our greatest assets, our engines for change. We encourage every individual to create and embrace change. I don't doubt that this book from our development partner will provide new insights to inform that process.' - Bob Duff, Vice President Jacobs Infrastructure
'Our mission at EON is to lead the way to a future of energy security, reduced carbon emissions and fair prices. This requires bold decisions in an increasingly uncertain and ambiguous world. I welcome this fresh thinking from Aston Business School on how to better navigate choppy waters to create game-change.' - Dr Paul Golby, CEO and Chairman of EON UK

'From years of study, long association and experience of the authors with the NHS, a £100 billion business undergoing the most radical transformation in its history, this book is bound to be a distillation of what works and what does not, straightforward advice for managers craving wise words.' - Dr Mark Goldman, CEO Heft (Heart of England Foundation Trust)
'As the pace of change and range of challenges increase exponentially within the NHS, the Trust's managers draw on the research and experience of our partners at Aston Business School, as reflected in this book.' - Mr Roger Nielsen; Associate Director of Workforce; Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
