review 1: This is a book I happily keep losing. Radical management is a great collection of all the thoughts, methods, and techniques that fit the evolving context of the 21st century. You can trace some of the ideas shared here back to agile concepts, systems thinking, architectural concepts, but Stephen Denning repackages and combines these together into a mixture of evocative stories and information concentrate that leaves a lasting impression. What I especially like is it binds it together into business management speak, so this is something I can hand to the non developer savvy to learn about the business implications of agile methods. Furthermore, we see how these methods, are applicable to more than just software development.One of the more unique concepts, or perhaps thi... mores is simply the first place I read about it, is the concept of "customer delight" which I think is a very powerful way forward. In our services economy, business and work at the end of the day is about providing something to the consumer, and the way you maintain relevancy and profit is through continued customer delight. Advocates must outweigh detractors, plain and simple.
review 2: The content was fabulous. I am not sure I liked the layout and bullet point style. Seemed like too many lists that were too long. Some people might love that format however. Did I mention the content is fabulous? Denning is a thought leader that gives insight into the future of the world of work. If you are an employee remain hopeful that work will get more humane. If you are an employer embrace change or be in for a rough future. Read the book. less
