The SPARKS Strategic Intelligence Model:
Silver Bullets will explain why an attempt at developing lasting strategy without a strong dose of strategic intelligence often leads to frustration and failure. The book will show you that these issues can and should be addressed head-on, and give you guidelines for true strategic success.
A firm's approach to risk tolerance makes a difference in the outcome of its strategy, and Silver Bullets explores this fully. Design firms aren't known for being risk-taking enterprises – nor should they be – yet there are ways of thinking about risk that allow firms to capitalize on opportunities that may otherwise go untapped.
Whether you're the founder, a principal, or a staff member looking ahead at your career, this book will stimulate, inspire and provide guidance for how to take better control of your career through the power of your aspirations. Silver Bullets offers guidelines and advice about powerful career-planning strategies.
