Dion Hinchcliffe of Dachis Group is one of the brightest minds in the nation today. For years he has helped individuals and organizations think through complex challenges. And for years he has proven he can glean trends and impart their relevance to decision-makers. He is world renowned for his thinking, speaking and writing powers. And perhaps above all he is known for his amazing ability to capture complex concepts in simple to understand graphics.
I’m so excited to announce that he has a great new book coming out. He and his co-author Peter Kim have authored a great piece titled “Social Business By Design: Transformative Social Media Strategies for the Connected Company.” (Links: Amazon Hardback | Kindle | iBook)
What excites me about this book? It provides a way for us all to tap into the same game-changing ways of operating that leading companies like SAP, Proctor & Gamble, Ford and IBM use to drive market leading levels of innovation, growth and revenue. This is a great guide to how to run a business, large or small, in the era of social media. It is also a great read as a hedge against disruption yourself (you better read this book or you will get disrupted by those others who are reading the book).
Here is a bit from the Amazon description:
