Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. You were born knowing how to solve problems. Then someone taught you to ask for permission first. A million years ago, someone cooked the first egg, no business case required. Ancient Olympians redesigned their approach to their event in real-time, no change management process. Polynesian navigators crossed thousands of miles of open ocean by trusting what they could see, not what the charts said they should see. They were being Agile. They just didn't call it that. Then bureaucracy arrived, promising certainty and control. But it delivered compliance and stagnation instead. In six tales spanning prehistory to World War II, time traveller Alistair Corrie reveals the pattern hidden in plain sight: humans are naturally brilliant at innovation, collaboration, and adaptation, until systems designed to provide certainty prevent those capabilities. From the Serengeti to Bletchley Park, from Olympic stadiums to cathedral building sites, the same story repeats: 1) we discover things through natural agility, 2) we experience bureaucratic suppression, 3) in some case we achieve hard-won liberation and a return to our natural state. The twist? The people who achieved liberation and changed history weren't special. They were just allowed to be themselves. For anyone who's ever sat in a meeting and thought "there must be a better way," this book is your proof that there is, and you already know what it is. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What if your biggest problem at work isn't the people, it's the bureaucracy blocking them?Alex thought she was starting a normal job. Instead, she tumbled down the rabbit hole into Workingland, a corporate wonderland where meetings go in circles, approval processes multiply like rabbits, and everyone's terrified of Quinn Hart who keeps shouting "Off with their headcount!"In this razor-sharp workplace satire inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Alex discovers something remarkable: people aren't the problem. The problem are the walls which interfere with the flow of ideas between brains.Follow Alex as she navigates absurd meetings that accomplish nothing, encounters a Cheshire-grinning pattern teacher who points at obvious problems, and watches conference rooms literally transform into croquet grounds and courtrooms. Along the way, she learns to spot the Four Walls of Interference blocking every organisation: Cognitive interference - complexity that obscures rather than clarifiesEmotional interference - fear that prevents honestyStructural interference - process that blocks natural collaborationLeadership interference - control that suppresses autonomy and creativityBut this isn't just satire. It's a revolution disguised as a story.As Alex helps colleagues see these invisible walls, something unexpected happens: change spreads virally. Not through frameworks or consultants, but through simple conversations. "What's blocking you?" becomes the question that transforms an entire organisation, even its controlling VP who built walls to protect herself from past failures.Perfect for readers who: Recognise the absurdity in their own workplaceWant organisational change without another frameworkBelieve people are smarter than systems give them credit forNeed to laugh to keep from crying at workBorn Agile isn't a methodology. It's a remembering: people are naturally agile. Bureaucracy just makes them forget.Welcome to Workingland. The walls are coming down. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 221B Baker Street: A Born Agile MysteryWhen researcher James Tucci is found dead from a medication overdose, the inquest returns a verdict of suicide. His wife Lucy, who knew him better than any inquest could, does not accept it. Neither does Lestrade, a corporate auditor who cleared the programme James worked on and has not slept properly since.Lestrade brings the case to Sherlock Holmes: former actuary, former MI6, now an independent consultant who takes the cases that official processes cannot hold. The investigation is narrated by Dr John Watson, recently returned from military service, a psychologist trained to read people and drawn to a simple question: what stops human beings from doing what they know to be right?What they uncover is not a conspiracy in the conventional sense. Nobody decided to kill James Tucci. What happened was worse: a chain of institutional decisions, each procedurally correct, each making perfect sense within its own framework, that together removed James from his data, his colleagues, and finally his life. At its centre is Professor Moriarty, governance consultant and architect of a system so elegant that nobody inside it can see what it does to the people who try to tell the truth.Holmes calls it an architecture of blindness. Moriarty calls it best practice. A young man with a loving family is in the ground either way.221B Baker Street is a modern literary mystery in the tradition of Arthur Conan Doyle, with Holmes and Watson reimagined for a world of programme assurance, institutional accountability, and the particular cruelty of organisations that function perfectly while the people inside them cannot.Author's Note In 1887 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduced the world to Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson and, in doing so, created something that transcended his own remarkable career. Holmes and Watson have been with us for nearly a hundred and forty years. They have been reimagined, reinterpreted, and reinvented across every medium and every generation, and they endure because Doyle built them from something true: the belief that careful observation, honest inquiry, and genuine partnership can cut through complexity that defeats lesser approaches. I am deeply grateful to Doyle for creating these characters, and very conscious of the responsibility that comes with borrowing them. The Holmes and Watson in this book live in the present day, and carry backgrounds of their own. But they are built on the foundation Doyle laid: a brilliant mind that sees what others miss, a warm and capable companion who brings out the best in him, and a partnership that is greater than either of them alone. Doyle's stories are now in the public domain. I have tried to honour that gift by telling a story that is faithful to the spirit of the originals while exploring questions that matter now. Doyle's Holmes revealed truth through the science of deduction, this Holmes reveals it through the science of observation: seeing what is actually there, rather than what the frameworks, processes and governance structures tell us should be there. This book is part of the Born Agile series, which explores, through different forms, a single idea: that human beings are naturally capable of extraordinary things, and that the systems we build around ourselves too often interfere with that capability rather than supporting it. Other books in the series use satire, history and time travel to examine this idea. This one uses crime fiction. The stakes of interference are sometimes higher than missed deadlines and frustrated teams. Sometimes the stakes are measured in lives. The events in this story are fictional. The pattern they describe is not. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
