A2Z Concept of Asset Based Thinking



Visit http://assetbasedthinking.com/

Asset Based Thinking

Asset Based Thinking - A new concept that you will find difficult to resist. I have read it a year ago and made it the core thinking of Training Department. I especially like the A to Z acronym of definition of ABT and Deficit based thinking (DBT). Do visit ABT Website (http://www.assetbasedthinking.com). I have compiled the A2Z ideas into PPT. Drop by slideshare.net to download my file (http://www.slideshare.net/eastleaf/asset-based-thinking).



The authors have released second book - The way you look at yourself. It is a wonderful graphic book. Easy reading and easy to apply. S.O.S ideas.
