 ‘Evolve, Dominate or Die:  How to  make innovation work’, Eddie’s latest book co-authored with Christophe Gillet and Andy Burnett, due out later this year, describes a practical way of ensuring that innovation can thrive and is no longer a weak spot and a barrier to good growth in an organisation.

Some remarks Eddie has attracted as an author:

  ‘he has a back-list of titles in a style far removed from the ponderous approach of most management tomes’
The Daily Telegraph

  ‘“Making it happen” is Obeng’s constant refrain and his books are an antidote to the dryness of much managerial theorising.  They come complete with their lessons in fictional form and implementation techniques such as Rat-holing, Blowing Bubbles and the Sticky Steps approach to planning.  Old World they are not’
The Financial Times

  ‘His books are split between a Raymond Chandler-like novel and a practical how-to section with Obeng’s idiosyncratic tools and techniques’
