Reviews

"Looking at ‘what happened’ vs. spending valuable time and energy on ‘where we’re going’. Aidan Connolly’s 2-1-4-3 approach refocuses strategic efforts to be more forward looking, forward thinking, and provocative. With a clear approach and easy tools to get started, this book is a ‘how-to’ that leaders need to establish a stronger vision for the future and a clear roadmap for success."

Lisa BodellCEO/futurethink, Author of Why Simple Wins

"At GE we moved from pursuing a ‘make and sell’ approach to a ‘what to make for our markets’ approach. Aidan’s 2-1-4-3 model allows you to foster that culture of innovation you need to create new products, services or new customers."
