Eddie Obeng: Smart Failure for a Fast-changing World

ABOUT Eddie Obeng
” What will business look like in 5 years? (Er, what does it look like now?) Eddie Obeng helps Executives keep up with a business and social environment that’s changing faster than we can know.
Through Pentacle his online business school, he teaches a Theory of Management that focuses on adaptation to change.
Called ‘New World Management’, it’s all about forming and re-forming work-groups, constantly re-evaluating metrics, and being open to all kinds of learning, from hands-on group exercises to a virtual lecture hall/meeting room called the QUBE.”
“Making it happen’ is Obeng’s constant refrain and his books are an antidote to the dryness of much managerial theorising. They come complete with their lessons in fictional form. Old world they are not.” – Financial Times
