Andrew Winston: The Big Pivot TED Institute

Published on Nov 20, 2014

Warning signs of advancing climate change abound. Extreme weather, scarcity, and the rising cost of commodities foreshadow what might be ahead. Can we alter this perilous trajectory? Andrew Winston thinks we can, but to do so we must fundamentally shift the way business functions.

Andrew Winston is a globally recognized expert on howcompanies can navigate and profit from humanity’s biggest challenges. His views on strategy have been sought after by many of the world’s leading companies, including Boeing, HP, J&J, Kimberly-Clark, PepsiCo, PwC, and Unilever. Andrew’s first book, Green to Gold, was the top-selling green business title of the last decade and was included in Inc. Magazine’s all-time list of 30 books that every manager should own. His speeches for audiences around the world, and his new book The Big Pivot, lay out a practical and optimistic roadmap for how companies can thrive in a hotter, scarcer, more open world.
