I have a manuscript that’s proving unexpectedly cooperative, and while these results are forthcoming, I am going to keep my head down, and type as fast as I can.
I bet there will be moments when I am driven to blog, but for the moment I am off for August.
Thanks for reading and supporting This Blog. And thanks for your patience while I see if I can’t put some of this reflection between hard covers. Hope you have a wonderful August.
Best, Grant
Business Week calls it one of "the best innovation and design books of 2009"
800 CEO Read holds it as one of the best "Big Ideas" book for 2009
“Building on decades of eye-opening research into the culture of consumption, Grant McCracken demonstrates why many companies get blindsided by cultural factors that were hidden in plain view, and offers a compelling argument for why they need to bring cultural expertise into their executive suite. Here’s hoping more corporate executives hear his call.” — Henry Jenkins, author, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide
“The title of this book is a lie. It's not merely for companies that decide they need a Chief Culture Officer, or even just for those who aspire to that job. It's for you. Right now. If your job involves marketing, inventing, selling or simply investing in companies that make stuff, this book is a must read.” — Seth Godin, author of Tribes & Purple Cow
