Trade Review"Tim Burt's book brings an array of business leaders all at the cutting edge of globalisation and economic change. All are perceptive and unshackled by convention: their thinking is transferable to business everywhere. Tim's journalistic background supplements his experience helping companies articulate strategy. This is a book that gets under the surface of businesses that are shaping the new global economy." -Simon Walker, Director General of "Institute of Directors". Furthermore, "2020 Vision" has been reviewed by "The Business Traveller"'s Tom Otley, who writes that; "I'm impressed both by the list Burt has compiled, and the quality of the writing throughout, which is clear, concise, and keeps the author's own opinions and personality firmly out of frame until the conclusion."
