Product Description

This book is a field-guide for innovators, a hand-book for thinking different, for doing different, and for guiding others in thinking different to get different results. There are tools and mind maps for the visual learner to make positive change happen. It is about effecting continuous improvement and innovation both in your personal and business life. The book frees you from linear thinking and opens a world of possibilities. It has been used for some of the world’s largest corporations, for instance, Texaco, Royal Bank of Canada, IBM, Exxon, General Mills both for corporate thinking expeditions and individual study. The reader will experience new energy, commitment, and self-confidence at any level. While the concept is presented in seven different levels, the reader can wade in at Level 1, move immediately to Level 3 or jump to Level 7 as they will.

Love the Diffferent Results5
Everyone (really) needs to read/apply this great Field Guide. Do not be intimidated if you have not been in the field with Rolf, jump right in for the fun. You will get awesome results spending time ootching through the pages gleaning the gems that shine through the many aha moments.

Rolf is practical at all levels of life. I have applied The 7 Levels of Change in my family life as well as my business life. When you run up against a question as you embark on diffferent thinking just check in with Rolf for more answers. You will be delighted.

Take a Thinking Expedition to Excellence5
This book is a great addition to your ready reference library. It's a practical, hands on approach to creative thinking and innovation - words that Rolf points out "scare" some people today but make perfect sense to some more "experienced." Rolf writes in down-to-earth easy-to-understand language. He challenges your thought forms and encourages intellectual growth that sets you free from boundaries. The process Rolf describes gets you out of your comfort zone in a fun and engaging way (Try mountain climbing with him). At the same time he acknowledges individual beliefs and values as important foundations from which you draw strength (so every idea is not automatically discarded). This book is easy to use - it's organized to allow you to jump around as a reference work or to read straight through as a learning tool. There is space to write in the margins - in fact, Rolf has written some of his own comments in the margin - which allows you to personalize the book as your reference. Versatile, this book works for both personal (individual) as well as organizational (collective) development. It is based upon years of innovation workshops and "Thinking Expeditions" since the mid-1980's -- with real people in real organizations trying to accomplish great things through idea generation. I participated in one of these workshops back in 2001 and then read the first edition of this book. The principles and techniques described work and this new third edition is even better than the first. I highly recommend Rolf's book, his ideas and his program.

Transformational5
I received my first copy of the first edition of this book as part of a thinking expedition held by Texaco to redefine their approach to Knowledge Management. I was a deep skeptic and was converted by working through the seven levels of change. The second edition of the book is even better than the first. I've given away several copies of this book and keep coming back for more.
