About this title

"Tom captures exactly what it's really like to try to do new things in a big company. There's no management textbook waffle here, just real lessons from the school of hard knocks and genuinely useful advice for leaders brave enough to look for a new way." 
Rupert Howell, Founder of HHCL

Dominic Vallely, Former Deputy Controller of BBC2 and Founder of The Giving Lab
