Sinopse

Embarrassing Predictions explores the fascinating history of forecasts gone wrong, providing valuable business lessons from confidently stated certainties that missed the mark. The book delves into why some once-promising ideas ended up as predictive failures, examining how cognitive biases, technological limitations, and market misunderstandings contributed to these misjudgments. For instance, the initial underestimation of the personal computer's potential highlights the fallibility of even expert predictions. By dissecting these errors, the book underscores the importance of adaptability and robust risk assessment in business and innovation management.

 
The book systematically progresses through various case studies, analyzing the factors behind failed predictions and their consequences. Examples include the overly optimistic projections for nuclear power and the downfall of Blockbuster, a once-dominant business model. Each case study provides insights into decision-making pitfalls and strategies for more realistic assessments.

 
Embarrassing Predictions offers a framework for evaluating future trends, helping readers develop critical thinking skills and make more informed decisions in an uncertain world.

Not Your Father's Capitalism -...

Adriane Johnson-Williams

EVER SINCE THE UPRISINGS OF 2020, consumers and employees alike have demanded more accountability from US business leaders. As a leadership coach, author Dr. Adriane Johnson - Williams noted the increasing volume of demands but saw no guidance out in the world that makes the work of organizational change for equity clear. That’s when she decided to write this book.The author simply asks this of you: Give her — this book, its calendar, activities, and additional provided resources included — 90 days. Spend this time with her and she’ll challenge you to examine who you are as a leader and a person. You’ll look at how you value others, how you are a reflection on your organization, and how to discover how you want to be reflected in the world.In Not Your Father’s Capitalism, Johnson - Williams distinguishes diversity and inclusion from equity and shows readers how to build a diverse team and inclusive culture — and what it really means to commit (or not) to race equity.

Cryptocurrencies Explained Easy...

Elias King

In the beginning it was barter, then gold, later the banknote. History shows us an evolution in the way we trade and buy goods. 
It is likely that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can be considered as the “salt” of antiquity, which was then replaced by gold, and therefore new diffusion systems or supports will be born for digital currencies that will further revolutionize the real financial market. 
In a world where a minority of the planet has most of the economic resources, it is desirable and also highly probable that a turnaround in the economy would bring real people to their knees. Giants, but it would give the people their legs back and enable them to walk in a new society based on ideals of solidarity. 
Long live freedom, and long live an economy untied from the interests of the powerful where there is a real redistribution of financial resources and capital. 
About the author: 
Elias King is an entrepreneur, digital marketer, and life coach with more than 20 years of experience in the sector.
