What is the book that changed your life? (not novels or religious texts)

Asked on Nov 30, 2021

@BlendedPast I believe that the answer is always “yes”.

In the last few days, I’ve seen this cover of Forbes Magazine circulating a lot online. But nobody shared the actual article on Nokia reaching 1B customers. I think that’s what matters. Here it is: https://t.co/hUb9S2QXVh https://t.co/0Fm49muNn1

“Dave Clark, CEO of Amazon’s worldwide consumer business, said Monday that the company is poised to become the largest U.S. package delivery service by early 2022, overtaking longstanding shipping rivals UPS and FedEx.” https://t.co/L0rlArHWZY

#5 is incorrect for a couple of reasons, and there are a few more that could be added. But the point stands. https://t.co/S87PgCasYn

In the attempt to buy a solid wood plinth from my usual plinth provider, I make an unpleasant discovery: shipping a 50Kg pallet to the UK went from 50 EUR in 2020 to 240 GBP today, because of Brexit.

1/ @McKinsey advises:

“Make everything a product. To optimize application functionality and mitigate technical debt, #CIOs need to shift from “IT projects” to “products”—the technology-enabled offerings used by customers and employees.” https://t.co/oXWdI1FyIW

2/ The problem with this recommendation is that it requires a radical cultural transformation for the people that are appointed as “Product Owners”. Many of them couldn’t even answer a basic question like “what’s the average customer satisfaction of your product?”

3/ CIOs (or any other product portfolio owner) that assign the “product owner” title to individuals without an entrepreneurial and customer service-oriented mindset are up for an unpleasant surprise as most just act as product managers.
