"I could say I like Beyond Disruption. A lie. I love this book. I can say unequivocally that no piece of business writing has ever dovetailed better with my disruptive . . . now beyond disruptive . . . view of the world. If you dont intend to raise hell, why bother to get up in the morning?" –Tom Peters, author of In Search of Exellence, Thriving on Chaos, Liberation Management, The Circle of Innovation, The Pursuit of WOW!, and The Brand You 50, among others"Beyond Disruption is not a book about advertising. It is a provocative challenge to companies to rethink the way they conduct business, the way they innovate, and the way they seek to stay competitive. It should be required reading by all those who are seeking to gain or retain a competitive edge." –Denis Hennequin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, McDonalds France"Having disrupted thinking about brand development, Dru and his colleagues have extended the reach of their Disruption process to advertising, marketing, and even the agency itself. This is thinking that is relevant for the development of any organizations strategy." –James Heskett, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business School"Jean-Marie Dru and his colleagues have continued to push their thinking on the concept of Disruption. This volume contains an extensive set of new stories and applications that will be invaluable to companies who want to escape stagnation by upsetting the existing equilibrium in their industry." –Adrian Slywotzky, Vice President, Mercer Management Consulting, author of Value Migration; coauthor of The Profit Zone, Profit Patterns, and How Digital is Your Business?"In Disruption, Jean-Marie Dru described a new way to think about marketing and brands. Beyond Disruption provides a set of case studies that demonstrate the benefits of disruptive thinking, offers a set of tools to help you think disruptively, and suggests a methodology to begin your own disruptive journey. Dont think of it as a how-to book. Think of it as a what-if book." –Alan Webber, Founding Editor, Fast Company magazine
