Full description

With its fresh thinking approach and updated with the latest business messages and new examples, Funky Business will ensure you are always on the right side of change.

In 1999, the authors described a world economy, which they called a surplus society with almost unprecedented opportunities for the talented companies and the competent employee. In the dark age, business revolved around being dressed in the right, regulated coke-colored habits and keeping your path clean.

The world gets new colors

The companies lived a life of monotony. Things changed. Gray is no longer the only color. A lot of different colors, choices, challenges, competitors, puzzles, and crises has emerged. Business has discovered funk: Funky Business. The authors have made a remix in Funky business forever. The book contains a number of new examples collected by Kjell and Jonas in their worldwide search for the true meaning of funk. The original ideas have been reassessed, held up against the light and examined. All gray shades have been removed.

Only your talent can save you

Only talent will allow you to be unique. Forget what has been. The new edition of Funky Business will rewrite the future for organizations and leaders. The gospel of new thinking is Funky Business. It creates a new Industry Standard. Funky Business is rigorously researched, witty and intelligent, and overflows with provocative ideas.

Who is airborn leadership?

As a project manager I have always lacked a platform where I could click in and get inspiration, relevant knowledge and concrete tools, regardless of time and place. A wireless toolbox where knowledge came to me through the air. A help that could give me a much needed boost in my current challenge.

You have never been more important as a project manager. Projects are the engine in developing a better business, new products, improvements in society and the global transformation to sustainable energy and production. Your leadership is therefore crucial. As a leader and project manager, you are the tool that creates the results.

I hope airborn leadership can be your gateway to knowledge within project management, no matter what journey you are on.
