CGW Publishing to Launch Time Travel Delivery Service

In order to upstage Amazon's bizarre drone powered delivery plans, CGW Publishing has announced its new time travel delivery service.

The new service works by delivering the book before the customer has bought it, so from their point of view, the book arrives at the instant they complete the transaction.

The high cost of the technology required is offset by the use of cheap delivery labour, using the existing network of canals and narrowboats, the pony express and boy scouts.

When a customer orders a book, it is sent back in time to the most cost effective delivery point and transported to the customer's location where it then waits in secure storage for the customer to order it, at which time it is then posted through the customer's letter box.

The new service is currently being trialled in 1973, and will be available worldwide as from yesterday.

New Review for Genius at Work

Genius at Work takes a fresh look at how to build an effective and committed workforce. Through relevant case studies Peter Freeth illustrates a sensible and engaging way to maximise the existing talent within an organisation rather than relying on the constantly changing trends of business and talent management theories.

The theories and case studies Peter uses in his book demonstrate to be highly practical with a very positive impact and outcome. I would recommend any HR professional who is looking for insight into building a talent management strategy to read Genius at Work.

mcommerce by Rupert Potter

Rupert Potter's first book, mcommerce, is now in print and can be ordered from any good book store.

Mcommerce is quickly gaining traction, with many recent surveys predicting that growth to continue. However, for many organisations, it is little understood.

For example, what is the difference between mcommerce and ‘ecommerce on a mobile device’? When should a browser based solution be used and when should an app be used? Should a solution include a digital wallet? And, if so, what type of wallet?

Too many organisations are trying to develop and implement an mcommerce strategy without an understanding of the basic building blocks, and they are being left behind by those who already have an effective strategy in place.

This book will help anyone in any organisation that sells goods or services to consumers and is considering doing so over the mobile channel. People involved in digital strategy, marketing and in designing sales processes will benefit from this book. Although the book is not technical, IT professionals will benefit by understanding what their technology must achieve and why.

The author is a genuine practitioner. In this book he breaks mcommerce down into its fundamental components and offers a practical guide to developing and implementing a successful mcommerce strategy.

The Business Cohesion Model

Roger Payne's new book is due for imminent release.

This thought provoking book challenges leaders to think and take action if they are to improve the offering and performance of their organisation... it should be read and acted on by every Chief Executive and their senior leadership teams.

Howard Betts

Centre for Leadership Studies

Exeter University

What is The Business Cohesion Model? It is a concept based on the basic premise that no individual is perfect. Thus, all organisations are made up of imperfect people. The imperfections vary and have different effects on the performance of the business. The aim of The Business Cohesion Model is to minimise these organisational imperfections by aligning people and teams within the brand.

If you agree with the imperfection argument, then you have taken the first step in addressing what is necessary for an organisation to achieve optimum brand performance. Everybody, irrespective of their position or status, has a duty and responsibility to develop, deliver and sustain the brand offering of the business.

The Business Cohesion Model takes you through a sequence of topics, each encouraging you to think about the different issues that face your business. It will challenge and test any preconceived beliefs, values and operational standards, so be prepared, and willing, to follow your instincts as you develop your own ideas and your own Business Cohesion.

The Business Cohesion Model will be available from the 15th July from all good book shops at £19.99.
