Evolved Enterprise

by Yanik Silver

The coming business SHIFT that could change everything... Serial entrepreneur Yanik Silver predicts: Businesses without a core impact will be at a competitive disadvantage in 4-7 years (or less). There's no doubt, business could be the ultimate lever for making a significant difference in the world. And the Evolved Enterprise gives readers a counterintuitive roadmap to move from a transactional company to transformational and even transcending business as usual. How to shift your company beyond being transactional to truly transform and even transcend business...forever Evolved Enterprise is an illustrated journey for 21st century entrepreneurs ready to explore how greater purpose, joy and meaningful impact create fierce brand loyalty, marketplace leadership and deliver exceptional profits. What If? - You could catalyze a community of raving fans who eagerly wanted to spread and share your brand? - You could empower your team around a greater mission? - You could deliver a true impact (not just 'giving back') that built a legitimate competitive advantage? Inside Evolved Enterprise, readers will discover the major shift happening in our economy that's radically changing the criteria for business and economic success in the 21st century... You'll see how today's top companies are creating and recreating their businesses from the 'inside out' to create more impact, more meaning, and more happiness for everyone involved. Most importantly, you'll learn how you too can re-design and re-invent what you're doing to fall back in love with your business. Or simply start it right the first time building a company designed for greater profits with 'baked-in' impact. This is how to align the true "soul" of your business with more impact, meaning and happiness - that surprisingly delivers even greater profits.

Pretty good for a "new age business" book. To be honest, I'll need to re-read it. He calls it "a new business model" but it's not as revolutionary as I'd hoped. Probably because none of my business owners are "old thinking" or "rigid minded," so I was raised on concepts like these. It covers the fundamentals and importance of starting with YOU, then finding the BIG WHY, then building community (value people over profit), creation (product), culture (the company).

Maybe if you're just being introduced to business concepts, this is a good one to read. It introduces ethical leadership and a positive business culture.

Evolved Enterprise rehashes a number of different charity based business models and then touches on culture, vision, and a few other basic business concepts. It's a short quick read (which is good.) I'd only recommend this book if you're brand new to business and are looking to create a social impact company.

I typically judge books like this based on how much highlighting I do. This book offers some great advice and tips you can use to make sure you are running a business out of integrity and with the correct motivations.

I was really disappointed in this book. I thought there weren't nearly enough nitty gritty real hard nosed business applications in it. His previous book "Moonlighting on the Internet" was MUCH better.
