Mark Penn has boldly argued that the future is not shaped by society's broad forces but by quiet changes within narrow slices of the population. Ten years ago, he showed how the behavior of one small group can exert an outsized influence over the whole of America. His best-selling Microtrends highlighted dozens of tiny, counterintuitive trends that have since come to fruition, from the explosion of Internet dating to the recent split within the Republican Party. Today, the world is in perplexing upheaval, and microtrends are more influential than ever

Good stuff. well worth the read
Any additional comments?
This was a great book and as a peer group of business owners we used this book as a project and researched into our own businesses. This was really well thought out and very real insight.
I would highly recommend this to any business owner or consultant. It's a very interesting look on the maturity of companies.and how to gauge them.

In the last 18 years I have transitioned through many of these stages. At this moment we are in the as the book calls it the predictable success stage. I can see now how easy it would be to slip or drive the company into one of the less desire able stages. Knowing is so encouraging! :)

A great insight into the stages of company growth
Would you listen to Predictable Success again? Why?
Yes, it has some very useful insights into the stages a company goes through and the characteristics of these. Derek is an experienced and accomplished entrepreneur and today with a business of 4 people full time and expanding rapidly, it's fascinating both to learn more of the stages of growth ahead as well as their characteristics and challenges
