Book Buzz

A recent Frost & Sullivan survey revealed that 93% of CEOs state that growth is their main priority for the next five years – and yet 80% don’t believe that their senior management teams are capable of supporting these growth objectives.

In a recent McKinsey survey, only 25% of respondents said their training programmes measurably improved business performance. The survey also found that most companies don’t even bother tracking the returns they get on their investments in training. Clearly, something different is needed to help top teams deliver.

Conventional training produces conventional solutions. Bookbuzz helps clients achieve competitive advantage by engaging in a new unconventional methodology that stimulates team dynamics.

Bookbuzz helps you to articulate your business ‘pain points’ (e.g. “Our company lacks the killer instinct,” “We’re resistant to change,” “We’re great at strategy but lousy at execution.”) Bookbuzz suggests a short list of provocative books that address the ‘pain points’ and selects up to 50 pages that executive attendees must read before entering the facilitated debate/conversation. In a safe, non-threatening environment, attendees leave their performance hat at the door, and engage in an open-ended discussion of key issues that rarely get aired in management meetings. When a team engages, typically the room explodes with fresh insights and fresh ideas that are absorbed into a company’s fabric, strategy and culture.

90-minute facilitated book-based discussion sessions are held on your premises, at a time convenient for you. Often, sessions are held over breakfast, lunch or after office hours.

Bookbuzz is engaged in a constant search for business books that will fire the imagination of programme attendees and will keep them up to date with the latest business thinking. The insights from the discussions become embedded in the organisation’s culture. The participants engage in a highly enjoyable, time-efficient peer-to-peer learning experience that empowers them to make better business decisions.

Bookbuzz reports back on the insights of the session and the take away for the organisation.

Our methodology has been warmly endorsed by neuroscientist Dr. Kevin J. Fleming, CEO of Grey Matters International: “By paradigmatically changing the landscape of how we think about our thinking when it comes to solution-making, the guys at Bookbuzz have struck gold. Their secret sauce is that they are changing the implicit environment behind the learning itself. As a specialist in executive behaviour change, I can attest that in terms of promoting true change within an organization, Bookbuzz is the real deal.”
