520 |a FOREWORD by legendary business icon, Virgin's Richard Branson "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Pablo Picasso In today's flat world, business as usual no longer cuts it. Anyone can compete on quality, price and timing.

Be inspired by creative conversations with legendary Mick Jagger, Tony Award winning director Matthew Warchus, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
