Product Description:
Have powerful market trends or uncontrollable events ever delayed or derailed your organization's growth? This book offers you new concepts and improved tools to anticipate and convert such forces into powerful allies to help you exceed, not merely achieve, you goals, even in the most challenging environments. or are you an entrepreneur starting a new business? This book demonstrates how to establish a trajectory to flourish by harnessing whatever the unstoppable and unpredictable forces you may encounter, whether in the traditional or digital economy? The authors present new ways to recognize and understand the forces that are impacting you so can develop the right vision, and implement the correct strategy to consistently and effectively turn them to advantage. Rejecting old habits, such as expending resources to combat or neutralize forces over which you cannot control, THE IRRESISTIBLE GROWTH ENTERPRISE instead describes revolutionary, yet common sense, management principles that will lead you to breakthrough gains. It also explains how to spread the necessary skills throughout your organization in order to enjoy the highest level of effectiveness. Irresistible forces come in many forms including exponential technological development, frequently changing and ever more fluctuating financial and currency markets, as well as the emergence of new competitors and increasing price pressures as the pace of globalization accelerates. Companies that have ridden such forces well in the past--such as Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Starbucks, and AOL--have grown from startups to billion dollar sales corporations in ever shorter periods of time. Which force will be most important for your organization tomorrow? How can they propel your business to irresistible growth? While you cannot accurately predict their direction or timing, applying the principles of THE IRRESISTIBLE GROWTH ENTERPRISE will enable you to position yourself to always benefit quickly from shifts, and open an ever-expanding lead over your competitors. Here are new question you need to ask yourself about your business, new ways to answer them, and processes to employ to pursue your winning course. Tomorrow's leaders will be those who excel at using all irresistible forces to best advantage. THE IRRESISTIBLE GROWTH ENTERPRISE offers you the key to grasping your full potential for immediate and sustained breakthroughs.

The Irresistible Growth Enterprise: Breakthrough Gains from Unstoppable Change, by Donald Mitchell and Carol Coles, is an excellent book, completely different from the other business books because it does not simply give to the reader a simple idea or practice as a recipe to apply to a company and achieve astonishing results. It goes further... The purpose of this book is to change the reader's way of thinking and to teach a way of achieving irresistible business success. It is divided into two parts; the very first part contains ten chapters in which the causes of and solutions to irresistible force stalls are determined, while the second part contains eight chapters in which the authors explain irresistible force management and the 8-step process of identifying and aligning ourselves with irresistible forces to maximize our advantage. It is an excellent choice!

The authors lay out a pattern of all the ways companies choose to deal with "irrisistible forces and unstoppable events" in their businesses. As the phrase implies, these events happen in all businesses, and the authors explain how, if leveraged correctly, these can often be a catalyst to greater growth in your business.
They describe irrisistible force stalls and their causes - useful if your small business isn't performing as you'd hoped - they offer solid advice that will give you a plan of action and get you back on track.
They detail common stalls and how to deal with them - "stallbusting" they call it. The stalls they find most common (and certainly these sound like familiar "stalls" used by some of my small business marketing clients when they come to me for help) are:
The directionless stall
The wishful thinking stall
The helplessness stall
The defensiveness stall
The independence stall
The overoptimisim stall
The cover up stall
The underestimation stall
As a means to understanding what could be stopping your small business from achieving its full potential, and what actions to take - I highly recommend it. It's packed with information, so it's not a quick read, but well worth the time investment for the sucess of your small business.

The authors lay out a road map for managers that, if followed, will permit them to take advantage of forces beyond their control. The book explains and teaches how senior managers can benefit from flexibility when they confront irresistible forces and provide a set of principles for shaping vision, strategy, tactics, management process and organizational structure. You will be able to identify external factors and obsolete ways of thinking that may be limiting your progress and success.
This is a brilliant and thought-provoking book that discusses the nature of irresistible growth enterprises, that is, those able to routinely employ the momentum of unstoppable external forces, such as technology advances and shifts in markets. Such agile organizations can use these forces as sources of power or energizers for creating and implementing 2 000 percent solutions, namely ones that produce 20 times or more the benefit or speed of the average person.

The fundamwental premise of the book is that no matter how successful you and your organisation are, you are performing at a modest level compared to the potential you can unleash through adopting the irresistible growth enterprise. The barrier to irresistible growth is not unstoppable, uncontrollable external changes, but fixed and frequently unexamined ideas of how to respond to these changes. Companies that have ridden such forces well in the past have grown from start ups to billion dollar sales corporations in ever-shorter periods of time. Making quick and best use of rapid changes in powerful conditions noone can control is the key to becoming an irresistible growth enterprise. By utilising the processes presented in this book, you can learn to catch the full benefit of today's volatile and quickly changing forces and spur your enterprise on to greater and rapid growth than ever before.The Irresistible Growth Enterprise has a serious and important purpose: to make you and your organisation much more successful by having you ask and answer new and better questions than you have been using to analyse and plan your activities. Unlike most business books the Irresistible Growth Enterprise on what new things to do rather than on how to improve existing practices. This book shows you how to harness the key lessons and other useful concepts and tools in one integrated process, that will improve your performance across a broad range of activities from creating a vision to leadership and implementation. Changes is an inevitable consequence of staying in business these days.
