Recommendation

Finn Jackson is a very practical business architect. Instead of focusing on theoretical abstractions, he shows why concrete activities, choices and processes matter. He writes that strategy’s only use is to help you refine and adjust your actions. He explains how to use such basic ideas as wise deployment of resources, strong leadership and realistic strategies to create your own “Escher Cycle” of repeating renewal and competitive advantage. Then Jackson shows how to sustain your ongoing competitive edge by letting your business change as competition and the future demand. getAbstract thinks he paints a graphic picture of the unending elements of success.

Take-Aways

  • The most basic definition of business success is to make money by using your resources to meet customer needs in a timely way.
  • The four layers of business advantage are wise resource use, leadership, strategy and the “Escher Cycle.”
  • The Escher Cycle is a state of continuous renewal of your competitive advantage. It follows a repeating, unending pattern, like the images in M.C. Escher’s artwork.
