Strategic Intuition for the 21st Century illustrates a revolutionary new approach to using intuition in the workplace. By using the symbology of the Tarot, this book demonstrates how to shift out of the "box" and become more creative, productive and inspired in business.

A dynamic new way to understand intuition, already implemented around the world at top companies and business schools Neuroscience shows that instinct has a leading role in complex decision-making, yet imaginative play is the most direct means of activating our creativity and problem-solving abilities. Based on over 20 years of Cholle's wide-ranging professional experience and insights, The Intuitive Compass offers a fascinating new approach to innovative problem-solving, decision-making, and sustainable value creation. Through a concept known as Intuitive Intelligence, Cholle shows how anyone can improve creative brainpower by harnessing the balance between reason and instinct. Explores the tension between linear efficiency and random play, and the synergy between reason and instinct Helps us realize our natural tendencies to think holistically, think paradoxically, notice the unusual, or lead by influence Shows these tenets in action through case studies of the luxury house Hermes, Paris; Google and its paradoxical work culture; Virgin America, and its ability to notice the unusual about what matters for consumers and exert leadership in its industry The Intuitive Compass shows how to thrive within chaos and offers actionable information for reinventing our path to sustainable success.
Call it a gut feeling, a sudden knowing, a bolt from the blue. PowerHunch! underscores the strength of this quiet yet powerful force that adds a flash of clarity to any situation. Whether it’s relationships, career, balance and healing, or simple everyday decision-making, intuition gives everyone an edge. Now Dr. Marcia Emery shares the “secrets” of intuition so you can make it a part of everything you do.
This could be just another book about strategy, but it’s specifically about cooperative strategy. It is a unique book and an essential guide for every executive, CEO and manager who wants to successfully lead their company in the 21st century. Every university professor of economics, management, strategy or decision making must read it, apply it and teach it to their students: only this way will we save companies from being directed by those who only know about conflicts and competition. In the words of the Secretary General of the OAS (2023), facing the present and the future “we can cooperate, or die.” This book represents a valuable resource for students, academics (teachers and researchers) and professionals in the field of strategy, decision making and management in general. For the author, cooperative strategy is natural to the human species and, without colliding with the principles of the free market, it may contribute positively on saving the planet.

In Learning to Think Strategically, author Julia Sloan presents a previously unexamined account of the relationship between strategic thinking and the learning process involved — taking learning from the academic to the everyday. This book is an original primer on how successful strategists learn to think strategically. This authoritative book traces the history of strategy, differentiates strategic thinking from planning, describes the influence of culture, streamlines the roles of rationality and intuition, and identifies five key attributes for learning to think strategically. Learning to Think Strategically asserts that learning is the critical link to strategic thinking. Learning is a "conversion tool" that can transform thinking strategically into a sustainable competitive advantage.
