Overall, the message felt to me like "we're still figuring all this out". I think that's entirely appropriate for the current business climate and fair enough, but it doesn't make for very actionable advice. The examples of how different companies are working to become more responsive, and the exploration of the kind of questions they're asking, were interesting. The book is also really short, so a worthwhile read if you're looking for something to spur reflection that you can easily pick up when you have a few spare moments. It's also a low-risk introduction to the Responsive movement for those wondering if they'd like to get more involved.

I'm critical of business books and came in with low expectations, but this was good. My biggest criticism with self help books and business and leadership books are they are normally full of fluff, but this was a great length and I wouldn't trim anything. I think it could have benefited from statistics, but I really do believe the message this book gives: believe in people, be flexible, always be ready to adapt.
