Innovation is the word on everyone's lips. Yet even organisations with great creative capacity often find it difficult to sustain new ventures in the face of traditional hierarchies that are resistant to change. And for many companies concerned about their future survival in a rapidly changing marketplace, innovation is a Holy Grail that cannot be found by mandate or implementation of controls. "No Secrets!" is Fairtlough's final work, presented as a dialogue with contributors who were his friends and colleagues in organisational thinking.Eminent cultural anthropologist Michael Thompson discusses the relationship between Triarchy Theory, Cultural Theory and his more recent concepts of clumsy institutions and clumsy solutions, while Wellford Wilms' story of stifled innovation in higher education illustrates the practical relevance of Fairtlough's principles. Edited and with a foreword by Gerard's eldest son Matthew, "No Secrets!" is a valuable title for organisations, entrepreneurs and individuals seeking to adapt and flourish in today's global climate.
