More about The Galileo Moment

Are you ready for your Galileo Moment?

In an era of dramatic change Galileo Galilei built a powerful telescope and observed the stars. Contrary to prevalent theory, he saw that the earth was not the center of the solar system. It was an observation that profoundly changed the course of history.

When I reviewed over 1,300 books and articles and compared over 100 top academic and commercial business tools, what I found was staggering: almost all of the business tools we use today are based on theories from the Industrial Era which have never been tested. This was my Galileo Moment, when I realized that the real-world data didn’t match what I had been taught.

Embracing my Galileo Moment, I set out on a journey to understand how market-leading companies really work in today's economy. The Galileo Moment crystallizes the many nuggets of wisdom I have gathered on this journey.

Ultimately, The Galileo Moment asks the reader to leave behind industrial-era management practices and step into the present-day knowledge economy.
