TESTIMONIALS:
"Verne is THE guru of fast growth companies. Those who listen GROW and SUCCEED . . . so listen . . . or read!"
-Tom Peters
“Verne is more committed to helping companies grow than any other person on the planet. Really. He’s also radically practical in his approach and that is reflected throughout this terrific book.”
-Patrick Lencioni, best-selling author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The
Advantage
“Scaling Up addresses the second half of the venture ball game, something often lost in all the hoopla about incubating disruptive innovation during the first half. Half-time scores don’t matter—it’s all about how you finish the game. So get yourself into Verne’s locker room for a great half-time pep talk, and then get yourself out on the field to play a great second half.”
-Geoffrey Moore, Author, Crossing the Chasm
“Imagine walking into a library and finding one book that captures the ideas of all the books in the library. Scaling Up is that business book. You will not have to go any farther.”
-Jack Stack, founder and CEO of SRC Holdings; best-selling author of The Great Game
of Business and A Stake in the Outcome
