Total Rethink: Why Entrepreneurs Should Act Like Revolutionaries
By David McCourt

Recognized as one of the world's most successful multi award-winning business entrepreneurs, McCourt is globally renowned for using technology and innovation to improve the lives of underserved communities.

McCourt states that: "In business, and in life, everything is changing fast, apart from how we behave. Our ways of thinking and making decisions have changed little since we lived in agricultural and industrial societies, but the problems we now need to solve are entirely different. It requires a revolution in thinking and behavior to meet the challenges that now face us and to avoid disaster we need a Total Rethink."

Part business biography, part business blueprint Total Rethink explains how we need to blow up the existing model, move forward and navigate business models for the future. McCourt lays out the reality of the dangerous situation we find ourselves in and offers viable solutions to empower everyone, from business people, to politicians, educators and young entrepreneurs just starting out. He inspires solutions to repair the damage already done and shares how best to prepare for the dramatic changes still to come.

"Impeccable credentials as a telecom revolutionary" The Economist
