Liberation Management (1992)
marked a turning point in Tom Peters thinking about
business excellence. In it, Tom railed against static
organisation models as inadequate for meeting the challenges
ahead. Amongst a catalogue of more promising approaches,
he urged people to study the world’s best Professional
Service Firms (PSFs) as places where the seeds of future
business excellence might be found.
In his publications since then, the
PSF philosophy has increasingly become the cornerstone
of Tom’s thinking. In 2003, Re-imagine! Business
Excellence captured the suite of ideas Tom had evolved
in his “post Liberation Management” phase.
Tom Peters Company’s Future Shape
of the Winner™ is a re-articulation on excellence
for the 21st century. It is our take on Tom’s
career obsession with excellence, and converts the enormous
scope of Tom’s thinking into a workable framework
for managers and leaders who are ambitious for future
success.
