NAVIGATING the CORPORATE (AND ANY OTHER) MAZE "Fortune favours the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur, French chemist and microbiologist. The Corporate Maze exists in all organisations - large corporations, small companies, charities, government departments, co-operatives, partnerships, societies and so on - populated with all sorts of people, all with their own private agendas. Threading this maze requires a combination of reason and persuasion. This book offers you a tried and tested methodology for navigating any of these mazes. Use the concepts explained in this book to pitch your ideas to anyone - bosses, clients, colleagues and any other associates - to sell products and services and achieve your aims; write reports, essays or letters to make complaints, defend rights or appeal for help, in any walk of life; influence colleagues, friends and even your spouse! The same concepts give you powerful insights enabling you to ask forensic questions to deconstruct or critique the plans and arguments requiring your approval or consent.
