Forthcoming Nakedize Essential Education titles
After a long hiatus, Nakedize has a full publishing schedule.
First up is a short text introducing the concept of Optimal Knowledge Working.
Next is a second edition of our flagship title, Clear, Concise, Compelling, which will feature some updates as well as 16 pages of new material.
In 2019 we are hoping to publish all six of the super-concise ‘Essentials’ series of professional development texts. These will initially be published as digital editions, and later combined into two printed text books.
Strategy topics: Systems Essentials, Transformation Essentials, Information Essentials
Skills topics: Thinking Essentials, Change Essentials, Writing Essentials
The long-awaited business books Clarifying Transformation and The Price of Words are also being developed.
