After spending 200% of the last year taking Strategyn UK close to a £1m turnover business (working across Europe and in UK), I have now just kick-started my PhD (How firms develop capabilities to act upon Voice of the Customer?) and intend to start blogging again very shortly. I am delighted to be back and really look forward to contributing some new thoughts to my blog as well as participating in the conversation very soon....
I am MD of Strategyn UK and MD of The OMC Group

Book provides The UOVP – Unique Organisation Value Proposition - an important new methodology providing a practical approach to define and deliver customer value in a world where traditional products and brands often fail to do so.Mitchell and Goffin: Innovation Management : Strategy and Implementation using the Pentathlon Framework
Great synthesis of innovation and strategy management though with a product and service biasJohn Hagel III and John Seely Brown: The Only Sustainable Edge: Why Business Strategy Depends on Productive Friction and Dynamic Specialization
Good on evolving strategy-making processes and capabilities in an inter-firm context, yet little on customer integrationDenzil Meyers: Beyond Branding: How the New Values of Transparency and Integrity Are Changing the World of Brands
Really good collection of brand-centric views on changing firm-stakeholder dynamicsHenry Mintzberg: The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning
A classic.Clayton M. Christensen: Seeing What's Next: Using Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change
More academic than The Innovators Solution yet still worth the effortClayton M. Christensen: The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth
