Opportunities abound.

 The Art of Opportunity is a beautifully crafted piece of work, so richly illustrated that at times I felt like I was reading a graphic novel. It is packed with fresh and varied case studies, most of which I hadn’t come across before. But more importantly, this book is really useful. Whether you’re an entrepreneur in the first throes of wrestling with a business idea, or a seasoned strategist at a large organization looking for new paths toward new opportunities, this is one of those rare “how to” guides that actually over-delivers on the how tos. My own copy will be well thumbed, for sure.
