Summary: Siegel Can Only Show You The Door
Review: In "Futurize Your Enterprise", David Siegel lays out the ground work for some truly amazing business models. Throughtout the book he ingrains ideals, and methods that will surely keep you up well into the wee hours of the night as you think about and formulate new and exciting ways that your business can implement the "New World" Business model. That is the true power of this book. Mr. Siegel honestly inspires and encourages thought. While it has been said that perhaps some of his examples and ideas are extreme, they are well founded and leave ample room for origional thought. Overall, this book is great for the company "idea man". The brain cramps one can endure while reading this book can be dangerous. I recommend that you read this book with a pen and paper set next to you and jot down everything that comes to mind as you read this imaginative and well written book.

Review: You know all those ideas which are spinning around your head about your web strategy, or your new business? This book will remind you how they all fit together. It will reinvigorate you and get you out of the trough.Buy it for yourself, buy it for your colleagues. Even if you don't agree with everything Mr Siegel says, you can't help but be reminded where your loyalties should lie for your web site. It is going to turn the light on to all those things which are wrong with your company and inspire you to do one of two things. Change your present organisation, or write a business plan for a start up. Wake up guys, the revolution is coming!

Summary: If you buy one book on e-business...
Review: buy this one. If you buy 2...buy The Cluetrain Manifesto. There is alot of hype about e-business everywhere. David's book gives a good outlook on the future and some key "to-do's" (like all of his books). This is a must read for anyone looking to enter the web space effectively in 2000 and beyond. One note on the poor reviews - Funny how they are all from someone named "a reader". I can't believe their parents named them with the letter "a"; and "reader" is a silly middle name as well. Come on people, identify yourself. Defend your positions. You can't hide for long! Or better yet, come to and visit the community section. Voice your views there, we'd be glad to have you!

Summary: The picky man
Review: Although I have not finished reading the book yet, I've thus far found it extremely interesting. It gives valuable insight to the coming of age for e-business. It goes into detail about a new phrase called 'The Customer Led Organization.' In a sense, customers run your business. I can tell you from experience that this is where the industry is going. A must read for all you who are interested in the e-revolution.

Summary: SHHHHHHH!
Review: I bought the book 2 months ago, read it, loaned it to a friend who devoured it, so I had to buy another copy, and he bought another copy too. Then I bought two more copies, giving them away, and then I found out that upper management had been somewhere and were given copies and now, all hell is breaking loose where I work. Thank you David.

Summary: Simple and elegant insight
Review: As a professional in the industry I have read a great deal on what the customer really looks like to companies and conversely, how companies need to be aligning themselves. Mr. Siegel did a fantastic job in framing concepts and tactics to better realize the end goal - own the customer relationship. This is a must read for anyone venturing in the "truth" economy.

Summary: Only one flaw.
Review: I see only one flaw to David Siegel's new book: Like customers.com, it's arrived far too early to capture the imaginations of most business executives, its target audience. But for executives brave enough, smart enough, and awake enough, it's a great guide. If you currently work to build websites for a company that hasn't quite gotten it, this book makes a good bolster, friend, and consultant you can send off to your executive team to help them see the path ahead. At the very least, business folks can direct their executive teams and marketing and customer service groups and -- well, everybody -- to the Web Boot Camp Siegel hosts on the amazing companion website. That site, again targeted to busy business professionals, is a great service to web developers of all kinds. If you can't get anybody at your company to look at the site or read this book and at least consider this sensible approach: Run, dear reader. Run like the wind. There are other companies out there who want smart people like you to help change the world.
