“We are in the Era of Innovation, brought about by tectonic shifts in the global marketplace and by the staggering needs of millions of the world’s people. In his usual fashion, Faisal Hoque presents this highly readable and thought-provoking book to take us on an international tour of the corporations, governments and social enterprises like our Grameen, that are organizing in new ways to transform the 21st Century. By marrying the power of technology and business, there is very little we can’t accomplish. Sustained Innovation shows where and how this is happening and inspires us to join in this new era.”

The Power of Convergence is rich in ideas that highlight how to leverage technology to create sustainability in business or in doing good.”

“Six Billion Minds is a clear window on our rapidly changing world. It draws on an impressive breadth of wisdom and practical knowledge to help us comprehend and prepare ourselves for a tightly connected, global economy. All organizations – government, corporate, nonprofit – will have to adapt to this new order of things, and this book is an excellent primer for meeting that challenge. As the world becomes ever more connected, business leaders must engage the issues set forth in Six Billion Minds. Globalization will not go away, and neither will the appeal of sourcing around the world. How to think about these issues, and how to make the right decisions regarding them, is the mission of this book, drawing together a wealth of knowledge and practical insight from leading thinkers around the world.”
– Shimon Peres
Former Prime Minister, Isreal and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
“It’s an age old, and perennially puzzling problem: Why don’t we get as much value as we should when we use technology in business contexts? Faisal Hoque and his co-authors suggest fresh answers. In the early years of this new century, this question and the search for its answers, have never been more important.”

CIO Insight Magazine
“The Business Technology Management Institute, a research think tank organized by Faisal Hoque, chairman and CEO of BTM Corporation, and boasting several top IT academics like James Cash, V. Sambamurthy and Robert Zmud, has released a study on the benefits of alignment and what the authors call “convergence,” an even higher level of business-IT cooperation and coordination than mere alignment.”
