Geoffrey Moore gets it. Competitors aren’t our biggest enemies, the past and the status quo are. Escape Velocity shows us how to reorient ourselves towards the future.

John Chen
In his new book, Escape Velocity, Moore lays out the Hierarchy of Powers framework to help companies recognize where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and how to develop a plan based on that. It's both enlightening and common-sense. And, as we discovered at Sybase, it works.

Geoffrey Moore’s latest book resets the bar for management strategy texts. His frameworks make the dialog around power as clear and accountable as the one around performance. Think Michael Porter meets Peter Drucker. This is a game changer.
