It is very rare that you see so many global thought leaders from around the world (including Foresite SPA) cooperate on one definitive work. Following the success of the Lean Enterprise Software & Systems (LESS 2011) Conference in Stockholm on 01 November 2011 at which Foresite SPA presented under the ‘Beyond Budgeting Round Table’ (BBRT) stream, it was decided to publish a book based on material from the conference. Foresite SPA contributed an informative presentation on Dynamic Growth Management and Commercial Intelligence which resonated well with other contributions from BBRT, Handelsbanken and The Norwegian School of Economics.

LESS 2011 Conference streams covered…

  • Transforming Organisations
  • Beyond Budgeting
  • Lean & Agile Product Development
  • Complexity & Systems Thinking

LESS 2011 showed how the ideas of conference contributors from very different backgrounds and with different experiences converged. The differences were small compared to the ideas they shared which sparked curiosity and a desire to learn more. The organisers recognised that they had something very important that should be shared as widely as possible. Over 20 speakers have contributed chapters to the book. Foresite SPA is in excellent company with contributions from important authors on leadership and management such as Dr Peter Bunce (co-author of “The Leaders Dilemma” [Jossy-Bass 2011]), Henrik Martensson (author of “Tempo!” [Lulu 2011]) and Steve Denning (author of “The Leaders Guide to Radical Management” [Jossy-Bass 2011]) and many others.
