Company-wide Agility : Jutta Eckstein & John Buck
Company-wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space & Sociocracy: Survive & Thrive on Disruption
Today companies are expected to be flexible and both rapidly responsive and resilient to change, which basically asks them to be Agile. Lack of an overarching theory about how to expand the Agile Manifesto has led to many fragmented attempts to apply Agile company-wide.
Enjoy insights in the book shared by Jez Humble, Diana Larsen, James Shore, Johanna Rothman, and Bjarte Bogsnes. Find out what Spotify, ING, Ericsson, and Walmart say in the book.
Notice, how they emphasize that doing Agile (the mechanics) is different from being Agile (the mindset). The mindset lets you apply flexible Agile patterns not only for software development teams but for the whole company. Many experts are looking into implementing company-wide Agility. Yet, they work from one perspective. For example:
- A Beyond Budgeting expert might say, “Stop fixing the budget annually, because otherwise you won’t have the flexibility to react to frequent market changes.”
- An Open Space expert might say, “You need to make space for what you don’t know and can’t control, for totally new things to emerge. If people can follow their passion, you will be able to implement company-wide Agility, otherwise people will just do what they are asked.”
- A Sociocracy expert might say, “You first need to resolve the power structure, because as long as you have a hierarchy defined as top-down you will not become agile.”
- An Agile expert might say, “You need to start inspecting and adapting by using regular retrospectives in order to react flexibly, otherwise you will neither be able to learn from the market nor from within your company.”
All of these perspectives are true, but the perspective is always from within the discipline. Our new perspective synthesizes these approaches and invites you to take a new, overview perspective that can truly address the challenges of doing business in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.

Her Uncle’s Secret : Katie Ryan
Her Uncle’s Secret
“Her Uncle’s Secret” tells the story of Sara and her Uncle Jim, as they navigate their unusual, provocative relationship. Their story begins on Sara’s eighteenth birthday.
Sara is a devoted Mormon, home schooled and a bit naive when it comes to life. She spends a lot of time with her Uncle while her parents are away.
The night of her eighteenth birthday, Sara begins asking Uncle Jim lots of questions about her body and the type of girls that men like. She is unsure about what is expected of her on her wedding night and wants Uncle Jim to explain in great detail what sex is all about and why her body tingles when he touches her.
No one has ever given her a straightforward answer about sex – that is, until Uncle Jim starts answering every question she has.
Uncle Jim is a widower, once married to Sara’s mother’s sister. He is lonely and harboring his own secrets about the night his wife Cally died. He openly rejects the church and all it stands for. He feels that Sara should learn about sex properly and safely.
If only she didn’t remind him so much of his deceased wife, it would be so much easier to resist her.

IT’S OVER!! : Ronica E. Akins
What Happens To The House?: How To Apply For An ‘Order For Sale’ If Your Ex Won’t Sell Or Buy You Out.
Do you jointly own a UK property with an ex-partner, family member or friend?
Have you been left with no option but to apply to the court for an Order For Sale but don’t know where to start?
Are you willing to represent yourself in the county court?
If the answer is yes then this book is for you.
A dispute may arise when the relationship between the joint owners breaks down and one joint owner wants to sell the property, or be bought out, but the other joint owner does not agree.
If agreement cannot be reached then a stalemate arises which could go on for months or even years. Surveys show that the main reason why the issue does not get to court is due to unaffordable legal costs.
While the courts have a broad jurisdiction to achieve fairness on divorce, when the parties are not married the strict law of property and trusts apply – Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA).
This book will be focusing on joint owners who are cohabitees, friends or family members and will give you an insight into how to prepare your court application.
IT’S OVER!! WHAT HAPPENS TO THE HOUSE? will give you a cost-effective alternative which will enable you to submit your court application and represent yourself in the county court, in order to get the joint property issues resolved so that you can sever the tie and finally move on with your life.
Using real case studies, of past clients, you can read all about their legal journey and the successful outcomes achieved by either being bought out or receiving a court order for sale. It is recommended that you seek legal advice, on an ad-hoc basis, if your case is complex in nature.

The Pickwick Club Disaster : John E. Keefe
The Pickwick Club Disaster: Boston’s Deadliest Building Collapse
The temperature outside still hovered at a balmy seventy degrees, but inside the crowded, smoke-filled, second floor speakeasy, it was a different story. Several people would later remember the room being decidedly hot and stuffy.
The five-piece orchestra had just finished playing a lively Charleston, and dozens of couples—men in their shirt sleeves and women in the latest, flapper-style dresses—remained on the floor while they waited for the last dance of the evening. The orchestra leader was skimming through his sheet music, trying to decide what to play, when the lights suddenly grew dim, flickered a few times, and then went out, plunging the room into darkness.
A moment later the old, five story building began to shake, sending fears throughout the crowd that an earthquake had struck.
The first anguished screams were quickly drowned out by the ear-splitting screech of boards and timbers being torn apart, then the ripping, tearing noise gave way to a thunderous roar as the ceiling fell and countless tons of bricks and debris started to crash down from the upper floors. Terrified patrons rushed for the door. Many of them didn’t make it. The floor gave way beneath them sending everyone and everything—tables, chairs, bricks, beams, and plaster—tumbling downward like an avalanche into a pitch-black abyss. No one could have imagined that the collapse had been triggered by vibrations set off by dancers doing the Charleston.
The Pickwick Club Disaster spotlights the negligence and the deliberate deceptions that brought the building to that sorry state. It describes the hurried investigation, the criminal trial, and the frantic efforts of public officials to distance themselves from blame, and it takes a glimpse into the lives of each of the forty-four people who perished.
