Book: "Microslices: The Death of Consulting and What it Means for Executives " by local author John Dillard
Check it out here: http://www.bigskyassociates.com/microslices
Overview:
Exciting opportunities lie ahead for forward-thinking organizations, while disastrous threats await any buyer that’s unprepared or unwilling to adopt a new service delivery model driven by speed, hyper-specialization, and AI-supported automation.
Microslices is a timely, eye-opening look at the driving forces behind changes that are already revolutionizing the professional services industry. It provides tangible, specific steps you must take as a buyer of those services to protect your organization from wasted consulting fees, outdated advice, and generic solutions.
THE WAY EXECUTIVES USE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS DYING. Over the next 15 years, unrelenting advances in technology, data science, and corporate culture will fundamentally disrupt your “trusted advisors.” Consulting is dying. Your top adversaries will react to the future; will you?
“Microslices is a great dive into understanding exactly why the boom in data sciences will completely change the way you use professional services. It’s, quite simply, a must-read.” Keith Ferrazzi author of Never Eat Alone and the #1 NY Times bestseller Who’s Got Your Back.
This engaging discussion will be facilitated by Robert Fish, CEO & Founder, Insight CXO.
As a reminder, you don't have to read the book to attend! Most do not, and we always have a very engaging discussion!
During this roundtable we'll:
· share our own experiences in this area in our businesses
· share best practices from our own personal experience or from industry thought leaders
· share ideas on how to improve the area within our businesses to fuel growth
Note: We are looking for people to facilitate book discussions for Oct and Dec of 2016 and full year 2017, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is a book that you’re passionate about and would like to share with the group. The meetings take place the second Friday of every month. Thanks!
