Critics Review
“Savvy, fun to read, and deeply profound. Stewart shows how a new set of business fundamentals is emerging and how to unleash the
power of intellectual capital in your firm. In this tough, volatile and very new business environment you’re going to need this book.”
-Don Tapscott, Chairman of the Alliance for Converging Technology and author of The Digital Economy
“Organizations are not well-oiled machines that operate by the numbers to produce predictable results. Instead, they are complex human
societies in microcosm. Stewart’s insight into the deep dynamics of intellectual capital is the best possible guide as to why this shift of
perspective is so critical today.”
— Christopher Locke, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and author of Gonzo Marketing: Winning through Worst Practices
“Managing your company’s knowledge assets is one of the keys to managing innovation, and Thomas Stewart once again shows us how it’s done. If you care about intellectual capital–and you should –read this book. Then, lend it to your colleagues and your
boss.” — Tom Kelley, General Manager, IDEO, and author, The Art of Innovation
