    Nov 4 2025

    Hello and welcome to Peter McAteer, author of Leading the Sustainable Organization, subtitled The Quest for Ethical Brands and a Culture of Sustainable Innovation. Listing all of Peter’s credentials would probably take too long, but in summary he is currently Managing Director of SustainLearning LLC, and has worked with the UN and was managing director for Harvard Business School Publishing – oh, and he has another two books.


    Leading the Sustainable Organization is an intense read of 300 or so packed pages exploring how values-based companies can be competitive. The book is full of stats, politics, checklists and diagrams, all beautifully published by Anthem Press, and available of course from Amazon and all good bookshops.

  • Ideas Don't Die, Companies Do, with the author, Hari Abburi
    Oct 28 2025

    Welcome to Hari Abburi, author of Ideas Don’t Die, Companies Do – Future-proof your business by creating an ideas-obsessed enterprise. Hari is CEO of the Fast Future Executive with a long career as a leading global executive.


    One of the contentious claims is that ‘ideas create more value than customers.’ As we have all been slavishly trained that ‘the customer is everything,’ how can this possibly be? In the book, Hari writes about three principles of exponentiality: purpose, curiosity and design. What stops people and organisations from taking on the energy or drive to keep ideas – and companies – alive?


    Ideas Don’t Die, Companies Do – Future-proof your business by creating an ideas-obsessed enterprise is packed with ideas and example businesses such as IBM, Amazon, GE, Boeing as well as startups and challengers. The book is a thought-provoking, nicely balancing facts, stories and a kind of you-can-do-it enthusiasm, just over 200 pages, beautifully published by Wiley, available of course from Amazon and all good bookshops.
