Description Based on both fundamental theory and practical experience, After Atlantis identifies a broad range of approaches that will better equip

and their organizations. It is a practical field guide to understanding and mastering turbulence within organizations and across the
global marketplace.
After Atlantis takes the position that no single activity will assure success. It is grounded in the most advanced,
field-tested, and robust theories about innovation and leadership, and will help organizations to construct their future with meaning
and to meet the needs of their customers. The international team of contributors includes Peter Beerten and Kaat Exterbille of Belgium,
