Inside the Minds (Real World Intelligence From Industry Insiders) was conceived in order to give readers actual insights into the leading minds of business executives worldwide and are written by C-level (CEO, CTO, CFO, CMO, COO) executives from over half of the Fortune 100 companies and other leading executives.

Each chapter is comparable to a white paper and is a very future oriented look at where their industry/profession is heading. In addition, the Inside the Minds web site makes the reading experience interactive by enabling readers to post messages and interact with each other, read expanded comments on the topics covered and nominate individuals for upcoming books.
