Lean Startup - Essential guide...

Harry Altman

Lean Startup: Essential guide to build your lean startup and how to start step-by-step (lean, lean startup marketing) 
Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and gets the desired product to customers' hands faster. The Lean Startup method teaches you how to drive a startup - how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere - and grow a business with maximum acceleration. 
Too many startups begin with an idea for a product that they think people want. Then They spend months, sometimes years, perfecting that product without ever showing the product, even in a very rudimentary form, to the prospective customer. 
When they fail to reach broad uptake from customers, it is often because they never spoke to prospective customers and determined whether or not the product was interesting. When customers ultimately communicate, through their indifference, that they don't care about the idea, the startup fails. 
Using the Lean Startup approach, discussed in this book, companies can create order:Picking the right type of Lean StartupLean approachStartup operations managementNiche marketing 
Lean isn't simply about spending less money. Lean isn't just about failing cheaply. It is about putting a process, a methodology around the development of a product.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE A BIGGER BUDGET FOR YOUR IT TEAM

This budget stuff can be tricky. The fact that we talk about budgets using a vocabulary that most IT managers probably don’t have (or at least don’t use every day) makes it just a bit harder. If you’re going to do this correctly, we’re going to need to have a talk about what’s important and what the process for creating a valid budget is.

The good news is that all of this budget stuff is not all that hard to do. It really comes down to learning how your particular company wants to talk about money. If you can discover the vocabulary and the types of budgets that they like to use, then you’ll be half-way there. In this book we’re going to cover everything that you need to know about your IT budget. We’ll talk about how to use the budget that you’ve been given, the different types of budgets that exists (and why), and how you can go about requesting more money.

One way to think about your IT budget is as fuel in the tank of your IT team. The more that you have, the farther you can go. Read on and find out how to fill your tank up…!

The Law

Frederick Bastiat

"The Law" is a classic work written by the French political economist and philosopher Frédéric Bastiat. Originally published in 1850, the book is a concise and powerful exploration of the concept of law and its proper role in society. Bastiat's main argument revolves around the idea that the purpose of law is to protect individual rights and property, rather than being an instrument for legal plunder or the redistribution of wealth. In "The Law," Bastiat discusses the fundamental principles of a just and free society, emphasizing the importance of limited government intervention and the protection of individual liberties. He criticizes various forms of legal plunder, such as tariffs, subsidies, and progressive taxation, which he views as violations of the natural rights of individuals. The book is known for its clarity of thought, persuasive reasoning, and its defense of the principles of classical liberalism.

In Search of Time -...

Jacob Dahl

Time is relative, situation-dependent, location- and culturally-dependent, and very much subjective. Yet we treat it as if it were objective. We share standardized time, and we are dependent on it for almost everything we do. When it comes to waking up, business meetings, transportation, finding your way via GPS, seeing friends, watching a show, we are all dependent on a standardized notion of time and time measurement. The future gives us hope and deadlines drive innovation and productivity. Time drives us forward and we talk about time – all the time! The word “time” is the most used noun in English, followed by “year” in third place and “day” in fifth. We are obsessed with it, for a lot of very good and practical reasons. 
 
 The book looks at time through different perspectives (ranging from physics, history, philosophy, anthropology to art, business & politics, biology and psychology). The author’s aim is to bring us closer to the nature and our experience of time by looking at it from different lenses to improve our understanding of what time is and what it is not – and to use that knowledge to improve how we organize ourselves around time. It’s by better understanding time’s nature and experience that we can keep the positive and productive elements of time and get rid of the unhealthy time practices in our lives.
