It explains the convergence of five movements that will change business forever, identifies seven triggers that will help individuals take advantage of those movements, and shows all readers how to make the necessary reboot - in effect, how to CTRL ALT Delete.
This is not a book about "change management," but about "change business models."
Divided into two sections (Reboot: Business and Reboot: You), CTRL ALT Delete explains five key movements, with examples from companies that are successfully making the right shifts, and also shows how individuals can move from just doing a job to doing the work that they were meant to do.
While Mitch's first book, Six Pixels of Separation, was about how (and why) new media had changed business forever, CTRL ALT Delete answers the question "now what?"; Now that everyone is on social networks, sharing and conversing, how do you pivot your business to capitalize on just how much our world has changed, and get the edge on where all of this is taking us?
CTRL ALT Delete will help you navigate out of our business purgatory.
You, your brand and your employees will be prepared for where things are headed and what it takes to thrive in this new business landscape. -
