Selected bibliography

His fourth book Agility: How to Navigate the Unknown and Seize Opportunity in a World of Disruption (2019), co-authored with former NORAD Commander General Charles H. Jacoby Jr., presents a comprehensive theory of agility and a practical roadmap to fostering agility at any organization. The book's urgent call for action—that leaders must learn how to consistently navigate radical disruption and uncertainty—foreshadowed the COVID pandemic, global economic recession, and social turmoil of 2020.

In collaboration with Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps, he co-authored a 2010 Harvard Business Review proposal to create the First National Bank of Innovation [12] in order to enhance U.S. economic dynamism.[13] In a 2012 European Financial Review article, he redefined risk intelligence and designated it "new essential competence" for companies and investors who aspire to create lasting value for stakeholders and society. He is the creator of the Corporate Risk Scorecard, a holistic view of a company's business model and risk profile similar to a food Nutrition Label (Barrons)[14] and co-author of the pioneering "Brain as a Business Model" framework (European Financial Review, 2014).[15]

Agility

Agility, written by Tilman and General Charles H. Jacoby Jr., presents a call to action for leaders across public and private sectors that agility is urgently needed and that it is achievable for any organization. When organizations make the choice to become agile, adopt the agility mindset, and acquire the requisite knowledge and capabilities—all while remaining vigilant—agility becomes their enduring state of being. Agility is far superior, and far more effective than mere speed and adaptability. Organizations that adopt this mindset thrive amidst uncertainty and disruption, and are able to turn today's challenging environment into an advantage—one that supports their vision.

Financial Darwinism

Tilman's Financial Darwinism is based on the premise that today's complex economic and financial landscape requires executives, financial professionals, regulators, policy makers, and investors to adopt a radically new way of thinking and making decisions. Global systemic financial crises, periodic astonishing losses, and ruin of once-venerable institutions serve as convincing evidence on what happens otherwise, necessitating a road map to the new financial order and an essential guide to adapting and succeeding in it.
