DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/13e92b/flash_foresight_h) has announced the addition of the "Flash Foresight: How To See The Invisible and Do The Impossible - Seven Radical Principles That Will Transform Your Business" book to their offering.

“You can: all you have to do is leave out the parts you could be wrong about! And the amazing thing is, when you know where to look, there's more than enough you can be right about to make all the difference.”

In his new book, Flash Foresight: How to See the Invisible and Do the Impossible, Daniel Burrus takes the concept of looking into the future and transforms it into a new paradigm for running highly successful businesses in the 21st century. Using seven key principles and drawing on examples that range from struggling urban school districts to deep water oil drilling to pediatric dentist offices and companies like JetBlue, Kiva, Netflix and Crocs, it explains how "flashes of insight about the future" are a key to successful innovation and learned behaviors that can help you see ahead of the curve and navigate a solution before the rest of the world even sees a problem coming.

Today we all face more impossible challenges than ever before. But Flash Foresight lets you transform the impossible into the possible, revealing hidden opportunities and allowing you to solve your biggest problemsbefore they happen.

Daniel Burrus is one of the world's leading forecasters, corporate strategists, and visionaries. Over the past quarter-century, he has established a worldwide reputation for his exceptional record of accurately predicting the future of technological change and its direct impact on the business world.

"Wouldn't it be amazing if you could predict the futureand be right?" writes Burrus. "You can: all you have to do is leave out the parts you could be wrong about! And the amazing thing is, when you know where to look, there's more than enough you can be right about to make all the difference."

From small businesses to multinationals, individual careers to entire industries, Flash Foresight looks at how Burrus's seven radical Flash Foresight "triggers" have transformed dozens of careers, fortunes, and lives. Both engaging and enlightening, Flash Foresight provides an easy-to-implement blueprint for applying the same strategies to your own business, enabling you to see the invisible and do the impossible.
