Aligning the Dots: The new paradigm to grow any business

Publisher: Onward Business Press Author Website: https://philippebouissou.com/

It’s eight o’clock Monday morning. What do you do to outpace the market and grow faster than your competitors? Aligning the Dots provides a clear answer to that deceptively simple question.

Although many how-to-grow business books have been published, none offer a pragmatic and reliable blueprint for top-line growth that is built on deep data analysis and a universal framework that leads to revealing insights. Without a clear roadmap to growth, a CEO’s demands for innovative product development, better marketing, and increased customer acquisition and conversion often fail to produce desired outcomes. An effective leader understands that without clear direction and guidance, teams will revert to business as usual and no amount of inspirational taglines will help the business grow faster.

Aligning the Dots introduces a new paradigm. It’s a universal, data-driven and prescriptive methodology, called A4 Precision Alignment, designed to accelerate any business. Based on the profound insight that the maximum top-line growth rate can only be achieved when a business and its target market are perfectly aligned, this methodology reveals how quantitative measurements of alignment form the base for the development a Growth Playbook.

That blueprint will guide any business to align the dots to outperform its target market and fly past its competitors.

In an interview on your program Dr. Philippe Bouissou can discuss:

1. There are 11,000 business books published every year. Why should we talk about your Book?

2. What results does this new paradigm to grow any business deliver?

3. Why did you choose to focus on the topic of growth?

4. What is unique about Aligning the Dots?

5. What are the traditional methods to grow a business?

6. Why do these traditional ways of growing a business rarely work?

7. What is counterintuitive about your new paradigm?

8. What is surprising about it?

9. How does it provoke new thoughts or bring “conventional wisdom” into question?

10. How did you come up with this new idea?

11. What in your background was critical to invent this new paradigm?

12. Does this new methodology apply to any business?

13. Can you give an example of a bad and a good alignment?

14. Who is the audience for this book?

15. How does the COVID19 pandemic affect the teachings in this system?

Aligning the Dots offers a new systematic methodology for optimizing resource allocation towards long-

term profitable growth. Philippe Bouissou’s engaging style uses a combination of personal anecdotes,

scientific analogies, and relevant case studies to convey his message of alignment. While the target

audience cuts across the broad business community, I find the methodology to be most directly relevant

to young technology startups who have a very low margin for error in their business model.

—Eric Benhamou Founder and General Partner, Benhamou Global Ventures and Former Chairman and CEO of 3Com

Every executive intuitively knows the importance of aligning what a company sells with what its customers

want, but few executives actually know how to do it right. In his smart, new book—Aligning the Dots—

business growth expert Philippe Bouissou presents a simple, but powerful framework for building

alignment along four critical business axes. No matter what size your business or what industry you’re in,

Aligning the Dots is the playbook you need to spark revenue growth right now — and well into the future.

—Peter Economy The Leadership Guy, Inc. Magazine

Aligning the Dots offers a precise, logical way to understand how the fundamental drivers of business

work, and how to align your company with them for long-term success. It’s the rare book that combines a

comprehensive science of how business works with dozens of practical tips that any leader can apply.

—Chris Yeh Co-author with Reid Hoffman of Blitzscaling

I’ve seen so many businesses struggle as the vision and expectations of entrepreneurs and company operators

are out of sync with the customer or the marketplace. Aligning the Dots provides an articulate, pragmatic,

and innovative framework for solving these misalignments. It is a resource that can and should be

referenced repeatedly to help pressure test strategy and plans for the competitive edge that derives from precision alignment.

—Lori Bush Former President and CEO, Rodan + Fields

Genius often creates out-of-the-box thinking. Aligning the Dots makes you think differently and that makes

it powerful. Any business should understand and use these concepts.

—Nolan Bushnell CEO of X2 Games Founder and former CEO of Atari and Chuck E Cheese!

The idea to create the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood [PHF] came from our profound need to carry the message of Philippe’s life. Those of us who knew him, know that his time on earth was different than for most of us. And all of us, adults and children, all learnt something from this little boy, who seemed to be wiser than most. His loving and compassionate spirit was so magically contagious, that we decided it needed to live on no matter what. His life may have been short, but it was meaningful, and PHF will carry his message of hope, smiles and compassion wherever the Foundation takes us.

The PHF aims to make less fortunate children of the world happier, and to regain the desire to live and mature into good people. As misery sweeps through children’s lives in all kinds of ways, we want to help make a difference. We don’t naively believe we will eradicate human misery all by ourselves… but we do believe that even one person fighting for children can change another’s life, and that one organization could help thousands more.

And so we set on to develop projects and programs that will make a real, tangible impact, one smile at a time. We will focus on what makes children happy, without any kind of discrimination. We also want to bring awareness to children’s situation, in Lebanon and around the world, especially with other children. Some of our programs will involve children directly, so that a fortunate child can help a less fortunate child, with love and compassion. Teaching children how to care for those who are less fortunate will contribute to making them more responsible and caring adults, another lesson we learned from Philippe.

• The Board of Directors of the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood set a series of principles to abide by in taking any decision related to PHF’s work.
• Live up to Philippe’s standards, and be inspired by his life.
• Focus on making children happy, today, one smile at a time.
• Strive to be different and innovative.
• Focus on making a real/tangible impact.
• Strive to teach children to also be happy from within.
• Actively involve fortunate children in making less fortunate children happy.
• Help children with no discrimination whatsoever of their race, religion, nationality or political affiliations.
• Maximize the use of funds for the benefit of those in need.

A child is a child, no matter where he is from, where he is born, and where he lives. At PHF, we believe it is our responsibility, as citizens of the world, to reach out beyond frontiers and across borders. PHF was established in Lebanon on 13 April 2010 to cover the activities of the Foundation throughout the Middle East; in order to fulfill our international objectives, we are currently working on establishing the Philippe Hatem Foundation for a Happy Childhood in the United States of America and in Africa, both of which will become a reality before the end of 2011.
