Book SynopsisHow did Pixar go from producing CAT scan images to winning Oscars?How did Steve Jobs turn Apple into a world-beating company?How does Amazon's culture encourage innovation?How can you find the creative solutions demanded by our ever-changing world?The answer, according to renowned business thought-leader Peter Sims, is LITTLE BETS.
