The Science of Success
The problem with success is that everybody has an opinion on how to achieve it. These opinions are usually based on personal experiences within a specific industry, time period, and geography, and can often be contradictory or irrelevant. In the 'Science of Success', Matthew presents the five fundamental drivers of success that are evidence-based and proven through thousands of studies and decades of scientific research. Free from opinion and bias, he explains the mechanics of each driver, why it works, and how it can be applied for attaining business, career, and personal goals.

Big Data, Disruption, and Artificial Intelligence
Most people realise that the world is rapidly changing - with technology re-writing the face of countless industries across the globe - but few people realise that the speed of this change is accelerating. Rapid change is not just a “phase” - rapid change is the new “norm”. According to a new Innosight study, the average lifespan of an S&P 500 company has fallen from 61 years in 1958, to just 18 years today, and new business models may only have a lifespan of 5 years or less given the speed of change.Big Data, Disruption, and Artificial Intelligence

Topics covered include:
• Big data and the Internet of Things - what is it and why it’s important
