Be your Best Business Self
The ACES System® is the culmination of reading and summarising over 500 business books (over 25 years), writing over 40 books including 10 best-selling and award-winning Concise Advice titles, and training over 20,000 people.
It’s an unique business skills typology, self-improvement and microlearning product – for individuals and companies.
It is also the foundation of our latest book: The Smart Performance Book.
Be a Better Business
The PLANET System® products are informed by a great deal of study, reading and research, and we have condensed this down into straightforward language and bite-size, action-orientated learning and improvement tools.
It is all about progress not perfection. It is designed to move you from good intent to action – as fast as possible.
PLANET stands for: Panic, Learn, Agree, Navigate, Enact, Tell.
Our online products are designed to help you work through the system and move from panicked promises to tangible change.
It is also the foundation of The Sustainable Business Book.
Our Books
The Concise Advice series was invented by Kevin Duncan and his publisher. It now contains over 50 books, 10 of them written by Kevin, Sarah and Rosie. Unlike most business books that are too long and padded out with too much material, these books take the full wisdom of wide-ranging business reading and reduces concepts down to their pithy minimum, typically on one spread. This allows the time-pressed executive to grasp ideas at speed and put them into practice straightaway.
The handy pocketbook format is ideal for training, note-taking and idea generation on the go. With their highly visual format and minimal copy, the books have a wide international appeal and have been translated into over 20 languages. Sales to date are around the 200,000 mark. Grab a hard copy, or a digital one, use them for team sessions, look at the training, or ask for an in-person session.
Our Signature Training
We have over 20 signature training programmes, available in-person or online, and have trained over 20,000 people. These are our 16 workshops associated with The ACES System® but we have a number of others that we have developed over the years in response to client requests. Call us to chat through your issues and we can recommend the right programmes for you.
Our Business Library
The Expert Advice products represent over 60 years of business experience.
The engine that drives all the thinking is our Business Library: Greatest Hits – probably the world’s biggest free business library, which summarises over 450 books.
This has been a labour of love for 20 years. Over 20 million words read, with all the books summarized on one page. Categories span leadership, behavioural economics, ethical strategy, creativity, innovation and much more.
