ANDREW WINSTON

Andrew tailors his examples and ideas to match the audience, but his starting point is a talk that lays out a new vision for business in a fundamentally changed world. He reviews the mega-challenges that are changing "business as usual", including extreme weather, resource constraints (which bring with them rising prices for nearly all inputs into the economy), and radical transparency enabled by new technologies. These challenges also offer unprecedented opportunities as multi-trillion-dollar markets are in play.

In a unique and entertaining way, Winston describes the profound shift – the Big Pivot – that companies are making to navigate and profit from a volatile world. His talks provide crucial strategies for executives and managers ready to innovate and win in this new reality. With concrete advice and tactics, and stories from companies like BT, Diageo, Dow, Ford, Nike, Unilever, and Walmart, The Big Pivot provides a blueprint for creating more resilient, flexible, and profitable businesses.

“The Big Pivot”

"A must-read for anyone interested in the future of business and our world."

Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever

We live in a fundamentally changed world. It's time for your approach to strategy to change, too.

The evidence is all around us. Extreme weather, driven by climate change, is shattering records all over the planet. Our natural resources are under intense pressure as a billion more people enter the global middle class, demanding more of everything. Radical transparency is opening up company operations and supply chains to public scrutiny.

This is not some futuristic scenario or model to debate, but reality today. We've passed an economic tipping point. A weakening of the foundations of our planetary infrastructure is costing business dearly and putting our society at risk. The mega-challenges threaten our ability to run an expanding global economy and profoundly change "business as usual." But they also offer unprecedented opportunities: multi-trillion-dollar markets are in play and the winners of this new game will profit mightily.

The way companies currently operate will not allow them to keep up with the current—and future—rate of change. They need to make the big pivot.

The Big Pivot provides ten crucial strategies for leaders and companies ready to move boldly forward and win in this new reality. With concrete advice and tactics, and new stories from companies like BT, Diageo, Dow, Ford, Nike, Unilever, Walmart, and many others, The Big Pivot will help you, and all of us, create more resilient businesses and a more prosperous world. This book is the blueprint to get you started now.
