This book is about the World’s First Business Management Model that Guarantees achievement of goals: The BITSING methodology.

This scientifically proven methodology demonstrates its success in the daily practice of numerous organizations. This book will explain what Bitsing is, the results it will generate and how it works. And some important questions will be answered: What is the real basis for the successful achievement of goals? How can I be sure that I will always achieve my goals? How do I predict results? As ambitious as it seems – the answers to these questions are all between the covers of this book, explained with the help of many examples, explanatory charts and images.

Everybody is on the lookout for the one methodology that single-handedly helps to achieve their goals, and definitively address issues such as “what needs to done”, “which activities to avoid” and “how can I be sure that my goals always will be reached?”

With this book, you’ll come to understand that – just seven, simple factors underpin the successful achievement of goals. The seven Bitsing principles or, as per the title of this book, ‘The seven laws of guaranteed growth’.

Each law is the subject of a chapter in the book. And each chapter, with its down-to-earth examples, proves that nothing more is needed than common sense to achieve goals. It is possible to score in difficult circumstances; even grow by a factor of three – with minimal effort. It is possible to achieve goals that you previously only dreamed of. After reading the book any disbelief will be transformed into conviction.

The 7 laws in this book guide you through the process of improving your business and personal strategy. With chapters like How to be Unbeatable, Realize Effective Campaigns, and Ensure That You Reach Your Goals, the author explains how this methodology works and how to implement it in your own business and situation. By using examples, illustrations, and insights, this book provides multiple entry points for readers who want to execute the BITSING strategy accordingly.

To the author – the founder of Bitsing – the book is his way of personally introducing you to the Bitsing method. His aim is to inspire and to make you a participant in one of the most spectacular management methods of this time.

The method has indeed helped many hundreds of organizations to achieve breath-taking growth in turnover and profit. In fact, it has achieved a wide range of objectives. The methodology increases efficiency without sacrificing jobs and has even helped to stimulate employment, including recruiting top talent. BITSING has also boosted employee performance, changed stakeholder behavior, and optimized work-life balance. While they spread the word, they are joined by more businesses, institutions, other organizations, and individuals every day.

The ‘Seven Laws of Guaranteed Growth’ is intended for everyone involved in achieving the objectives of a company, institution or other organization and its own personal goals. In multinationals and one-man businesses, global brands, and start-ups. It provides valuable revolutionary insights for CEOs, as well as financial, commercial, marketing and sales and communication directors, managers, consultants, business owners, entrepreneur, startups, and students. This book is for anyone who wants to achieve goals with a guarantee.

As a result of working closely with several universities, the methodology is scientifically validated, in addition to its proven performance. Shell International, Hewlett Packard, and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen are amongst those that have benefited from this method, by using it to meet targets time and time again. Some have experienced exponential growth and reached the magic level of 300%.

The book is a complete welcome to the World of Bitsing. It prescribes exactly what you have to do, while keeping you from making the mistakes made by others. It provides the answers to all the issues that can confront an organization and yourself. It covers all the factors that determine success. This book offers advice, tools, and direction in what is required in your organization to achieve goals.

After reading this book you’ll regard most popular and established business methods and models as no longer relevant. Bitsing will influence every aspect of your entire organization. All of its ‘Bits & Pieces’.  Regardless of how large or small it is.

The book will inspire and coach you. You certainly won’t be reading things you already know. With this book, you will enter previously unknown territory. Inspiring insights will keep you reading – while logical, easy-to-understand models and charts will make you want to apply these insights immediately. And be able to.

It is written in clear, easily understandable language. Without pretention or lengthy, theoretical discourses.

 

‘The Seven Laws of Guaranteed Growth’ is making the complexity of goal achievement – childishly easy.

This book provides examples of world-renowned companies in a wide range of industries to illustrate the benefits of leading in the way that fits their company type. And it gives practical steps you’ll be able to apply immediately to your organization.

Accelerating Performance is not just another “warm and fuzzy” change management book—it’s a practical, comprehensive, data-driven action plan for picking up the pace and achieving more. Co-written by one of the authors of Beyond Performance, this book draws on a combination of empirical research and decades of experience advising global companies to show you how to reduce time to value by building and changing momentum more quickly than your competitors.

The META framework (short for Mobilize, Execute, and Transform with Agility) offers advice for leading change at four levels: strategy, the organization, teams, and individuals. In addition to step-by-step guidance toward assessment, planning, and implementation, the book offers:

– A diagnostic tool for leaders, teams, and organizations to assess their starting place, and highlight the specific areas needed to improve the ability to accelerate performance.
– A detailed look at the factors proven to create drag—and drive—at each of the four levels: strategy, organizations, teams, and individuals.
– An exploration of the 39 differentiating actions that organizations can combine as dictated by their strategy and context into a winning recipe.
– A closer look at the practices of 23 “superaccelerators,” a global (and perhaps unexpected) mix of companies that have demonstrated a consistent ability to accelerate performance.

A single taste of success is all it takes to spark change, but the hard work of following through requires constant vigilance—and a plan. Learn how to capture that drive, bottle it, and use it to sustain motivation, inspiration, and achievement. Deliver at the highest level, and then turn around and do even better next time. Accelerating Performance gives leaders a step-by-step framework for taking action and transforming their organizations, teams, and even themselves—starting today.

What is your inner critic telling you? How are your values and standards holding you back? What can you do to get yourself out of a depression that’s dragging you down?

These are the kinds of questions you can expect to be asking yourself to get you looking at new solutions and to propel you toward getting what you want in life.

But it doesn’t stop with questions. Lead…Share…Empower provides often simple wisdoms that result in profound “aha moments,” concrete actions for getting past the things that are holding you back, and practical ways of accessing your innate strengths so you naturally start moving toward what you want.

In addition to concepts like “Develop relationships and you will keep customers for life,” and “When things get rough and it seems like the cards are stacked against me, I reflect on past achievements,” the book supplies a wealth of hard-earned wisdom that can make a new impact when presented through Lea’s lens. The exercises at the end of each chapter help you immediately start integrating new practices and turn on the inner light bulbs that illuminate the path to where you want to go.

The book is refreshingly conversational and free of the self-help psycho-jargon often found in volumes promising to change your life. It is based on tried-and-true techniques the author either discovered or developed to further her career or enhance her personal life.

The bottom line is that many books promise and this one delivers. Of course, your inner critic may not approve.

Daniel Kahneman

In the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.

Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.
