<p>I have invested in this book already Richard and m currently going through it. Too bad I didnt read your review, but it seems that he is actually targeting the segment that knows very little about CI but is keen on getting a 'taste' of it.</p>
<p>The keyword is just 'taste' and not the whole dinner which misses on the starters, main course and the dessert.</p>
<p>A little more emphasis on Wargaming and Scenario Planning would have been great.</p>

<p>I have to say I would disappointed by the book content but I would say it is fine for someone who has no knowledge of CI.</p>

<p>If some one picks the book up and gets an interest in the subject then brilliant. Even better if they are a Marketing Director based in the UK :-)</p>

<p>Yes. Trip is correct in that I've now read several books on Boyd and his concepts. Great stuff... but I've seen VERY few (any?) authors in the traditional (and I use that word with all due caution) CI space, which some folks will argue includes me, translate it effectively back to CI practice. I am certainly giving thought to doing it myself, and remain hopeful that time and publishing constraints permit my doing right. If I can't do justice to it, I'm likely to remain a quiet advocate of…</p>

<p>Thanks for the review, Richard. No references/bibliography is weak.</p>
<p>I've turned Craig Fleisher into a big Boyd fan, he read the Corum biography this spring and loved it – hopefully he will properly write about Boyd theory and CI someday. Btw, Boyd Hall at Nellis was re-dedicated this June:…</p>
