Keeping up with what is going on by reading books, blogs, media and the market is a BIG job. Recently I started a book club with friends where we read books relating to business – we meet to discuss the book and other business issues we are facing. The club of eight people is really supportive as it gives structure to my reading, an opportunity to try my ideas on others (who at least know what you are talking about) as well you have support as you implement the new possibilities you have discovered.
So far we have read and highly recommend- Crowdsourcing by Jeff Howe, Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, Groundswell -Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies, by Charlene Li. and A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.
We are now looking at the big picture and are currently reading The Next 100 Years by George Friedman.
If you have any suggestions for books or blogs – do let me know so I can share them out.
