Tom's examples are drawn from extensive experience working with many of the world's biggest brands at Fluxx, offering inspiration and enthusiasm for leaders embarking on the uphill struggle of innovation in established businesses.
"Tom captures exactly what it's really like to try to do new things in a big company. There's no management textbook waffle here, just real lessons from the school of hard knocks and genuinely useful advice for leaders brave enough to look for a new way." —Rupert Howell, Founder of HHCL
"Simply one of the most concise, common sense and useful books on the subject I've seen in ages." —Dominic Vallely, Former Deputy Controller of BBC2 and Founder of The Giving Lab
