This book is for dissatisfied technology leaders. The leaders in product, technology, design, marketing, and digital at established organizations. Forward thinking leaders who know there’s a better way of doing things, but still find themselves struggling to generate the momentum needed to drive their legacy organizations into the future. We did not write this for startups, although the patterns we outline can still be applied to start-ups.In many ways, start-ups have it a little easier because “the first release is always free.” The first release is free because you don’t have an existing system and customers that you’re going to interrupt. Enterprise organizations do. When you have an existing business that you’re running, it’s infinitely harder to change. You must figure out how to not disrupt your business while you’re being asked to transform.That’s hard to do, but it’s not impossible. Successful, established organizations are structured to resist change to protect the franchise, but change is the very thing that we need to be innovative and transformative. Change is difficult because as the company grew through success in the market, the organization itself developed “muscle memory”, and digital technology has challenged that like no other. The company itself may be facing existential threats putting its futurein jeopardy. Unlearning and breaking existing muscle memory is difficult, but rather than thinking of it as unlearning, it’s more like cutting a new groove, where the more you make the new motion, the easier it becomes. The more you do that motion of new learning, the easier that becomes. Organizations don’t need to just transform; they need to make transformation itself something that they master.Voir livre

The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation – and it is set to continue. With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here … and how do we break the cycle? In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy.
