Statement: The world has changed - and it’s a little out of whack.
Explanation: You and the people in your organisation must upgrade
your thinking in order to master this new age. The design of your
thinking determines all of your results in this whacky world,
and the wilder, whackier and funkier you’re thinking, the better
positioned you are for success. This manifesto maps the three
prevalent thinking versions currently operating in the world,
and enables you to upgrade your thinking so that your mental GPS
is programmed to avoid traffic jams, potholes, and dead-ends, and
instead move you into the overtaking lane.
