About the Author
R. Scott Shakespeare
Founder. Executive. Advisor.
R. Scott Shakespeare has spent five decades doing one thing: building and fixing organizations. Across sixteen companies and eighteen industries, he has served as founder, CEO, turnaround operator, and strategic advisor — accumulating a body of experience that most business thinkers only read about.
What sets Shakespeare apart is not the breadth of his career but the consistency of his instinct. From his earliest ventures to his most recent advisory work, he has returned again and again to the same fundamental question: why do some organizations thrive while others — with equal talent and resources — stall or collapse?
The answer, developed over decades of hands-on work, became the Enterprise Value Wheel™ — a diagnostic framework that reveals every organization as a single living system. It is not a theory. It is a tool, tested in the field across industries as different as manufacturing, technology, professional services, and consumer goods.
Enterprise Thought is the culmination of that work: a book that traces the origin of the instinct, documents how it was sharpened across a career, and delivers the framework in a form that any founder, executive, or advisor can apply immediately.
Read the book that captures fifty years of insight.
