Exploiting Chaos Quote


Unlocking Cool Chaos (kā,äs) is the uncertainty sparked by uncharted territory, economic recession, and bubbles of opportunity.

Chaos causes organizations to retreat . . . but not always.

Disney, CNN, MTV, Hyatt, Burger King, FedEx, Microsoft, Apple, Gillette, AT&T, Texas Instruments, 20th Century Fox, IBM, Merck, Hershey’s, IHOP, Eli Lilly, Coors, Bristol-Myers, Sun, Amgen, The Jim Henson Company, LexisNexis, Autodesk, Adobe, Symantec, Electronic Arts, Fortune, GE, and Hewlett-Packard.

These iconic companies were all founded during periods of economic recession. Dramatic change and simple evolution give birth to a new set of market needs. Identify those needs and enjoy remarkable success.

Named one of Inc Magazine's Best Books for Business Owners, one of CEO Read's Books to Watch in 2009, featured in BusinessWeek, Fast Company, BNN, Metro, CityTV, CBC, The Toronto Star, The National Post, the Chicago Tribune, 100s of blogs and 1,000s of tweets, Jeremy Gutsche's text is about powerful ideas and vivid stories that will help you stimulate creativity, identify opportunity, and ultimately,
Exploit Chaos.

An Intro to EXPLOITING CHAOS - CityTV
BNN - Business News Network




"Love the book - best book on innovation I've read and I get 10 a week."
- John Jantsch, Author of Duct Tape Marketing


"Without a doubt, this is one of the best books on sparking ideas that I have ever read. I read it from cover to cover, but believe that even good skim will have you reaching for a blank piece of paper and pen or a fresh Word document. Get yourself a copy of Exploiting Chaos. It could be the difference going forward."
- Jack Covert, Founder of 800 CEO Read, Author of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time

One of the Best Books for Business Owners in 2009, "Presented in an appealing, magazine-like format."
- Inc Magazine

"Rebellious and seductive, EXPLOITING CHAOS is a love potion for relentlessly creative souls looking to break boundaries, ignite customer passion and start a revolution."
- Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, author of Lovemarks

"EXPLOITING CHAOS is a rousing battle cry for the kind of creative, risky thinking that is most needed in times of change and disorder. Whether you're a CEO trying to stay ahead of the curve, a daydreaming teenager, or a wannabe trailblazer, this bold guide is the shake-up you need to check your assumptions, get inspired, and turn business-as-usual totally upside down."
- Daniel Pink, bestselling author of A Whole New Mind

“EXPLOITING CHAOS is the quintessential road map for all those who seek opportunity in times of change. Gutsche vividly explores how remarkable companies have risen from chaos, and he provides a toolkit that managers can use to foster a culture of innovation, create great products and services, and change the world.”
- Guy Kawasaki, Co-founder of AllTop, Author of Reality Check

"The cutting edge as we contemplate what's next for brands, commerce and consumerism."
- Marian Salzman, Futurist, CMO of Porter Novelli

"Not surprisingly, it's hot, hip and absolutely worth talking about."
- Dave Balter, CEO BzzAgent, Author of The Word of Mouth Manual

"A work of genius-in-a-flash brilliance and choose-your-own-adventure engagement."
- Max Lenderman, Executive Creative Director, GMR Marketing, Author of Brand New World

"With its visual design and cutting edge ideas, Exploiting Chaos represents the future of business books. Jeremy captures a new way of thinking for anyone looking to hit on the next big thing."
- Amber Mac, TV Host, Tech Journalist, Cewebrity

"Chicken Soup for the Confused Executive's Soul."
- The Toronto Star

"The book is a quick read, with lots of graphics, oversized headlines on each page, and memorable quotes."
- BusinessWeek Article / 24 Page Exploiting Chaos Slideshow

"What a great installment... a quick, easy ready with tons of insightful facts."
- CityTV

"[As a keynote] it was the most energizing, inspiring and applicable piece of stand-up I have ever seen. And I've heard Bill Clinton speak, listened to enough Bill Gates on YouTube and sat through my fair share of Tony Robbins CDs."
- The Sun

"Gutsche has just released, Exploiting Chaos, a book that is, in a word, stunning. And it would be stunning if it didn’t become an instant bestseller and classic, and catapult its young author onto the current guru pantheon alongside trend spotters and commentators like Wired editor Chris Anderson and pop sociologist Malcom Gladwell."
- TORO Magazine
