Description: "Xbox Revisited is a wake-up call, a challenge to every citizen to become a 'civic engineer' addressing the challenges we face in our communities and across our country. Using the 3P Framework of Purpose, Principles, and Priorities developed by the Xbox team, Microsoft's former Chief Xbox Officer, Robbie Bach, takes business, non-profit, and community-engaged readers on the Xbox journey--a triumphant saga from garage-shop beginnings to business success. Bach describes the process used to revitalize a beleaguered business in dire straits and applies it to civic engineering and a country adrift in a sea of challenges. Building off of lessons learned from two challenging days in 2001--the first when the original Xbox failed to turn on at its unveiling and the second on 9/11 as the terrorist attacks played out before our eyes--Xbox Revisited provides a simple yet effective framework to address even the most complex problems we face in our personal, professional, and civic lives."-- Author's web site.
