Robert H. Schaffer (1988), The Breakthrough Strategy. Schaffer assembles protocols under various headings, such as “The Zest Factors”, “Breakthrough Project Design”, “The Keys of the Kingdom”, “Breakthrough Multiplication Routes”, and “Top Management’s New Job”. These slogans may make it harder for his analysis to receive the attention it deserves. Schaffer’s incremental approach contrasts with the more ambitious strategy proposed as ideal by Jeremy Carew-Reid, Robert Prescott-Allen, Stephen Bass and Barry Dalal-Clayton (1994), Strategies for National Sustainable Development. They write that “Objectives should be few enough to be achievable; broad enough to ensure the support of participants and encompass all aspects of the issue; and narrow enough and clearly defined enough to be measurable.”

David Fleming
Dr David Fleming (2 January 1940 – 29 November 2010) was a cultural historian and economist, based in London, England. He was among the first to reveal the possibility of peak oil's approach and invented the influential TEQs scheme, designed to address this and climate change. He was also a pioneer of post-growth economics, and a significant figure in the development of the UK Green Party, the Transition Towns movement and the New Economics Foundation, as well as a Chairman of the Soil Association. His wide-ranging independent analysis culminated in two critically acclaimed books, 'Lean Logic' and 'Surviving the Future', published posthumously in 2016. These in turn inspired the 2020 launches of both BAFTA-winning director Peter Armstrong's feature film about Fleming's perspective and legacy - 'The Sequel: What Will Follow Our Troubled Civilisation?' - and Sterling College's unique 'Surviving the Future: Conversations for Our Time' online courses.
