[Maria F. · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is quite dated for 2022. The ideas presented here are commonplace now, and like much of the literature on Design Thinking, (which is the new buzz word) most of it reads as common sense. A waste of paper, ink and my time.

Books about Business approaches can be outdated. I got this book 9-10 years ago. Positive Turbulence is 20 years old. The presented ideas and approaches are almost all "common practice" and not new in 2021. The author was right about many things but the value the reader is not high after 20 years.
