Summary
Over a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.
Martin took a fresh, critical approach to helping. When company leaders came to him with fundamental questions—How do you decide where to play and how to win? What is the key to shaping and changing corporate culture? How can you design a successful, sustainable innovation process?—his first response was to break the spell of the current model with a memo articulating a new way to think about the problem at hand and a more powerful and effective way to overcome it.
Over time, these ideas worked their way into Martin's many Harvard Business Review articles. Now, for the first time, they appear together in A New Way to Think. With his trademark incisive intellect and clarity, Martin covers the entire breadth of the management landscape—illuminating the true nature of competition, explaining how company success revolves around customers, revealing how strategy and execution are really the same thing, and much more.

Valuable alternative ideas and fuel for re-thinking
A number of areas that are key to business success are explored in terms of an alternative model to use, on the basis of that success depends on using the right models.
I found that the described models make sense, as did the described flaws in the commonly used models. I will be rethinking my models for these areas and exploring the alternative models.

Dull book with a dull reader
Unfortunately I did not enjoy this book. The author did not really proffers new way to think, rather it was just a rehash of some rather basic management consultant speak. In a world moving at 1000 miles an hour, this title did not offer any real insights. The narrator was also very dull which made the whole experience rather tedious. Very glad I am finished with this book.
