[Suzanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting read with some good outlines of key concepts. Examples and scenarios are quite outdated though.

[Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another good book on crisis management; a good supplement for Steven Fink's "Crisis Management: Planning for the Inevitable". Not, on the whole, as good as Fink's book, but the chapter on Detecting Weak Signals was particularly well done.

A decent read. The author is very efficient with his words and gets to his point quickly. He makes a point and then backs it up with a story. Effective and concise where others generally droll on endlessly trying to make their point.
