Magical Meetings

Reinvent How Your Team Works Together

By Douglas Ferguson & John Fitch

In this guide, we tackle the myth that the most effective way to get more out of meetings is to just avoid having them or to have less of them. But meetings are integral to getting sh*t done. Meetings are the secret underappreciated weapon that businesses are using badly. And why do they use them so badly? Because no one has been taught how to make them better.

How to Remix Anything

By Douglas Ferguson & John Fitch

There is a really good chance that someone has already solved a problem similar to the one you are working on, but it’s in another industry or time in history. You just need to find that analogous inspiration. This handbook will help you and your team discover it.

Start Within

By Douglas Ferguson & Karen Holst

Co-authors Karen and Douglas have spent the last 20 years in the trenches bringing new ideas forward within organizations. They have learned what it takes to launch innovation within a company and have worked with organizations ranging from state government agencies and military armed forces to startups and large public corporations. Reflecting upon these experiences, they noticed that while no one company or organization is like the other, there are common patterns that were almost universal.  Assembled from observations and insights on innovation, the Start Within framework provides a way to assess the unique nature of your company and find the appropriate tools and actions to move forward.
