BOOKS
Sustaining Innovation: Collaboration Models for a Complex World (published by Springer 2010): I was invited to write a chapter for this book focusing on the Shell Technology Futures programme. In turn I invited my colleague Tim Jones to assist, along with Leo Roodart (the ex-head of Shell GameChanger). You can read further details here at the Springer site.
Really Bad Workshops (and how to avoid them): I regularly get invited to attend workshops, and regularly get stunned by the lack of thought that goes into the workshop design. I became so frustrated by this that I ended up writing a short e-book called Really Bad Workshops (and how to avoid them). It’s packed with Ten Tips to Make Workshops Work, and you can download it free from this page.
