  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
  As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
  "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
  "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
  Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
  "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
  "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
  "they decided to do nothing?" 
  If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
  with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
  numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
  This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
  targets. 
  Is there a better way? 
  After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
  success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
  your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
  CEO. 
  The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
  results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
  discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

  Threat Multiplier - Climate...

  Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
   
   
   
  What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

  The Ethics of Technology - Moral...

  In an age where technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, understanding the ethical foundations behind its development and use has never been more critical. Tech ethics, at its core, explores the moral principles that guide our decisions regarding the design, implementation, and impact of technology. As digital tools become increasingly powerful and integrated into society, they bring with them profound questions about responsibility, fairness, and the human consequences of innovation. 
  The roots of technology ethics can be traced back to classical moral philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and Mill laid the groundwork for how we approach right and wrong, justice, and duty. These age-old theories—virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism—are still highly relevant in today's tech-driven world. For instance, when we ask whether a self-driving car should prioritize the life of a passenger over a pedestrian, we are invoking these very moral frameworks to guide the decision-making process. In this way, ethical theory provides a lens through which we can evaluate the choices we make as developers, users, and regulators of technology. 
  Modern concerns surrounding tech ethics often revolve around issues that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Digital privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems challenge us to reinterpret traditional moral values in new contexts. This requires a dynamic understanding of ethics—one that can evolve alongside technological change. Unlike in the past, where tools were relatively neutral and required human operation, today's technologies often act with a degree of independence, raising the stakes of their ethical implications. Machines that learn, adapt, and decide are not just tools; they become agents of action whose behavior must be morally accountable.

  Could the Caspian Region replace Russia's or the Persian Gulf's immense energy potential with their energy resources? Yunis Gurbanov explores the strategic importance of the region in post-USSR Eurasian policies of major global actors, namely China, the EU, the USA, and Russia, and examines Azerbaijan's, Kazakhstan's, and Turkmenistan's oil and gas resources as alternatives to conventional suppliers. He shows that the Caspian region's resources could serve as alternative energy sources on a global level, mitigating dependence on traditional suppliers and stabilizing energy prices.
