  As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
   
   
   
  In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
   
   
   
  With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.

  What the Three Little Pigs Have...

  What The Three Little Pigs Have to Teach Us is a story about a business on the brink. Clients are threatening to leave because errors are mounting up. Key staff walk. The partners argue about what is the right approach. And the clock keeps ticking. 
  What do the three little pigs have to do with it? 
  Remember that only one pig had enough smarts to build a house that could withstand stinky wolf breath? He designed the house to get the right outcome - to prevent the wolf's attack on all fronts. Remember the fire in the chimney? 
  More than a story about ‘a business on the brink’ this book is an important reminder for anyone running a business that ‘work smarter, not harder’ is still a thing. Better still, it cracks the code on what ‘work smarter’ really means. 
  This is a how-to book. Once the reader understands that their people are not only not the problem, but part of the solution, they can use the tools provided to make changes in their own business. 
  The authors of this little fable have loads of experience in manufacturing, process design and quality control. Which probably makes them the last people you invite to your dinner party. But they do know how to translate that experience into a simple philosophy and make it easy to learn. 
  Working smarter is designing the way work gets done so that good outcomes happen with less skill. 
  Rather than diving into heavy concepts or structured programs, What The Three Little Pigs Have to Teach Us is the right-sized introduction to the philosophy of continuous improvement. Or how to work smarter. 
  Short story. Big impact.

  Sustainable Tech Solutions for Enterprise Scalability 
   
  The modern economy runs on technology; it is the backbone of all major businesses. From firing packets of information between customers and websites to tracking customer demographics and purchase history–every bit of information that occurs online is captured through data. As businesses scale and transactions grow, the volume of data (and the number of servers required to store it) creates an increasingly complex environment that makes managing and monitoring the overall health of your organization’s technology stack a dizzying task for even the most well-informed IT professional. 
   
  Fortunately for today’s CDOs, CTOs, CIOs, and even CFOs, the founder and CEO of Fortified, a leading database managed service provider, Ben DeBow has written End of Abundance in Tech: How IT Leaders Can Find Efficiencies to Drive Business Value. 
   
  DeBow’s patent-pending approach allows IT executives to: 
  Develop a technology environment that’s more efficientIncrease server resource productivityProvide better financial transparency into the technology costsOptimize system scalability, performance, and stabilityPotentially save millions that were previously tied up in inefficient technology practices 
   
  To determine the health, efficiency, and capacity of their systems, leaders need solutions they can act on. Yet, many technology leaders lack real insights into the health of their technology environment at the organizational level. In a refreshing shakeup of the status quo, DeBow’s book equips IT executives with actionable solutions for managing and monitoring technology health so they can maximize the efficiency of the enterprise’s entire tech stack and deliver measurable value to the bottom line.
