The Upside of Turbulence

Seizing Opportunity in an Uncertain World

Description

The Upside of Turbulence is an enlightening look at the inherent paradox of how to strategize and plan in a turbulent business world where the only thing that doesn’t change is change itself. In this book, based on a decade of research, historical case studies, and intensive work with established enterprises and start-ups, Donald Sull, named an “up and coming thinker” by the Financial Times, lays out the fundamental logic of opportunity and provides a series of practical steps to translate insight into action.

Reviews

“It is a “must read” for all those that wish to understand the dynamics of managing through turbulence in order to capture the opportunities and limit the threats.” — Mohamed El-Erian, author of When Markets Collide

“Like the agile organizations he describes in The Upside of Turbulence, Donald Sull leaps deftly among ideas and examples...
