<p>Praise for <b>This Is Beyond Budgeting</b> <p>“The budgeting process and mindset is behind so many soul-destroying evils in organizations it is astonishing that it has been so persistent. There is a better way. Bjarte Bogsnes’ new book is the antidote you have been looking for. It isn’t undisciplined, expensive, or hard, and it can unlock a whole new vector of effective management for you. He has proven Beyond Budgeting works with organizations big and small over many years. I’m a big believer – read this book and you will be too!”<br> <b>— Rita McGrath,</b> Professor. Columbia Business School <p>“Bjarte is one of those rare individuals who has lived the life of an executive in a large corporate, realised its limitations, and made radical changes stick. He has done so with an open mind and open heart, creating methods and tools of critical importance to our increasingly uncertain and complex world.”<br> <b>—Dave Snowden,</b> Founder The Cynefin Centre <p>“I have met thousands of business executives over the years, and none of them has a good word to say about budgeting—it is slow, burdensome, and short-sighted. This book provides the antidote—Beyond Budgeting—by one of the pioneers of the concept and perhaps its most experienced practitioner. Don’t just read the book—make sure to put this into practice in your own company.” <br> <b>— Julian Birkinshaw,</b> Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, London Business School <p>“Bjarte Bogsnes has been a fixture as a speaker at management conferences for many years now, passionately making the case for more adaptive and human organizations, better fitted to the demands of our turbulent world, and the aspirations of today's employees. If you have not had the pleasure of listening to him, this book is the next best thing—a distillation of his thoughts and insights into this incredibly important topic.”<br> <b>—Jos de Blok,</b> CEO and founder, Buurtzorg
