Synopsis

Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast is based on the key business transformation guidance that futurist Jim Carroll has been providing to his global client base for over 25 years. He has shared his insight with over 2 million people in more than 1,500 keynote presentations worldwide. The book provides a glimpse into the uniqueness of the work that Jim has done in preparing for these events, and is based on insight from a long career as an advisor to countless global organizations.

Jim came to realize this unique experience — a life on the stage — provided him with some very unique observations into how people try to deal with a world of massive change and challenge. Over time, he began to capture these observations, usually inspirational, sometimes controversial.

Notes Jim: “In late July 2016, through a variety of colliding circumstances, the opportunity to focus my thinking into a message of hope and inspiration took on a life of its own. Since that moment in time, I have started each workday, without fail, very early in the morning, with my coffee, my laptop, and a moment of quiet reflection. They are a critical part of a very important journey, that of painting a picture of hope and optimism for what the day might bring. I have not missed one day, since starting this in early August 2016. I mark my personal progress and success one day at a time by my ability to inspire myself and others each and every day through this small personal thought.”

The book is a story of inspiration and transformation. It provides motivational guidance to those who seek how to navigate our increasingly complex and ever faster world. It provides insight into what people and organizations must do to deal with a world of massive disruption and transformation in everything they know: disruptive business models; competitive markets, product and service lines; changing consumer behaviour; the impact of accelerating technology, and more.
