| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Is Your Work Worth It? Christopher Wong Michaelson, Jennifer Tosti-Kharas, 2024-05-07 What is work that’s worth doing in a life worth living? A revealing exploration of the questions we ask and the stories we tell about our work. According to recent studies, barely a third of American workers feel “engaged” at work, and for many people around the world, happiness is lowest when earning power is highest. After a global pandemic that changed why, how, and what people do for a living, many workers find themselves wondering what makes their daily routine worthwhile. In Is Your Work Worth It?, two professors – a philosopher and organizational psychologist – investigate the purpose of work and its value in our lives. The book explores vital questions, such as: Should you work for love or money? When and how much should you work? What would make life worth living in a world without work? What kind of mark will your work leave on the world? This essential book combines inspiring and harrowing stories of real people with recent scholarship, ancient wisdom, arts, and literature to help us clarify what worthy work looks like, what tradeoffs are acceptable to pursue it, and what our work can contribute to society. |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: L'eccellenza non basta Paolo Manfredi, 2023-09-01T00:00:00+02:00 Nel furioso mondo contemporaneo, contrassegnato da cambiamenti epocali e violenti, l’Italia rischia di essere un vaso di coccio. A vecchi problemi mai risolti si aggiungono oggi una demografia inclemente e la perdita di quell’energia del fare che era stata alla base della sua fortuna. Il richiamo alle eccellenze, che per lungo tempo ha coperto i problemi, non basta più: quelle eccellenze partecipano sempre meno delle sorti collettive del Paese e una comunità sempre più anziana e affaticata stenta a produrne di nuove. Che fare allora? Due le alternative fondamentali. La prima, il piano A, è l’inerzia: lasciare che le eccellenze prosperino senza curarsi del resto – territori, persone, imprese –, destinato a deperire. Oppure, ed è la scommessa del libro, lavorare al piano B, costruendo e rafforzando un’«economia paziente», circolare e basata su innovazione, competenze, lavoro e biodiversità, che organizzi e dia forza a tutte quelle energie, oggi disperse e sprecate, di artigiani, imprenditori, sindaci, cooperatori, contadini, comunità, cittadini, per disegnare un Paese più inclusivo, innovativo, proiettato al futuro. Per noi e per i nostri figli. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: ANNO 2023 IL GOVERNO QUINTA PARTE ANTONIO GIANGRANDE, Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE, IMPOSIZIONE E MENZOGNA. Nella vita di ognuno due cose sono certe: la vita e la morte. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Gli animali, da sé, per indole emulano ed imitano, imparando atteggiamenti e comportamenti dei propri simili. Senonché sono proprio i simili, a difesa del gruppo, a inculcare nella mente altrui il principio di omologazione e conformazione. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. I Fatti son fatti oggettivi naturali e rimangono tali. Chi conosce i fatti si chiama esperto ed esprime pareri. Chi non conosce i fatti esprime opinioni e si chiama opinionista. Le opinioni sono atti soggettivi cangianti. Le opinioni se sono oggetto di discussione ed approfondimento, in TV diventano testimonianze. Ergo: Fatti. Con me i pareri e le opinioni cangianti, contrapposte e in contraddittorio, diventano fatti. Con me i fatti, e la Cronaca che li produce, diventano Storia. Rappresentare con verità storica, anche scomoda ai potenti di turno, la realtà contemporanea, rapportandola al passato e proiettandola al futuro. Per non reiterare vecchi errori. Perché la massa dimentica o non conosce. Denuncio i difetti e caldeggio i pregi italici. Perché non abbiamo orgoglio e dignità per migliorarci e perché non sappiamo apprezzare, tutelare e promuovere quello che abbiamo ereditato dai nostri avi. Insomma, siamo bravi a farci del male e qualcuno deve pur essere diverso! |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: State of The Global Workplace Gallup, 2017-12-19 Only 15% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. This represents a major barrier to productivity for organizations everywhere – and suggests a staggering waste of human potential. Why is this engagement number so low? There are many reasons — but resistance to rapid change is a big one, Gallup’s research and experience have discovered. In particular, organizations have been slow to adapt to breakneck changes produced by information technology, globalization of markets for products and labor, the rise of the gig economy, and younger workers’ unique demands. Gallup’s 2017 State of the Global Workplace offers analytics and advice for organizational leaders in countries and regions around the globe who are trying to manage amid this rapid change. Grounded in decades of Gallup research and consulting worldwide -- and millions of interviews -- the report advises that leaders improve productivity by becoming far more employee-centered; build strengths-based organizations to unleash workers’ potential; and hire great managers to implement the positive change their organizations need not only to survive – but to thrive. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Only the Paranoid Survive Andrew S. Grove, 2010-05-05 Andy Grove, founder and former CEO of Intel shares his strategy for success as he takes the reader deep inside the workings of a major company in Only the Paranoid Survive. Under Andy Grove's leadership, Intel became the world's largest chip maker and one of the most admired companies in the world. In Only the Paranoid Survive, Grove reveals his strategy for measuring the nightmare moment every leader dreads--when massive change occurs and a company must, virtually overnight, adapt or fall by the wayside--in a new way. Grove calls such a moment a Strategic Inflection Point, which can be set off by almost anything: mega-competition, a change in regulations, or a seemingly modest change in technology. When a Strategic Inflection Point hits, the ordinary rules of business go out the window. Yet, managed right, a Strategic Inflection Point can be an opportunity to win in the marketplace and emerge stronger than ever. Grove underscores his message by examining his own record of success and failure, including how he navigated the events of the Pentium flaw, which threatened Intel's reputation in 1994, and how he has dealt with the explosions in growth of the Internet. The work of a lifetime, Only the Paranoid Survive is a classic of managerial and leadership skills. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: The Long History of the Future Nicole Kobie, 2024-07-04 We love to imagine the future. But why are groundbreaking future technologies always just around the corner, and never a reality? For decades we've delighted in dreaming about a sci-fi utopia, from flying cars and bionic humans to hyperloops and smart cities. And why not? Building a better world - be it a free-flying commute or an automated urban lifestyle - is a worthy dream. Given the pace of technological change, nothing seems impossible anymore. But why are these innovations always out of reach? Delving into the remarkable history of technology, The Long History of the Future introduces us to the clever scientists, genius engineers and eccentric innovators who first brought these ideas to life and have struggled to make them work since. These stories reveal a more realistic picture of how these technologies may evolve - and how we'll eventually get to use them. You may never be able to buy a fully driverless car, but automated braking and steering could slash collision rates. Smart cities won't perfect city life, but they could help empty bins on time. Hyperloops may never arrive, but superfast trains are already here. We always believe current technology is the best it could be. By looking to the past and the future, Nicole Kobie shows how history always proves us wrong and how what lies ahead may not be what we imagine, but so much better. |

In his first book, he offers a simple, research-backed playbook that anyone can use to find their best customers and develop relationships that last. Under pressure for quick results and facing fierce marketplace competition, too many marketers are boxed into spaghetti-to-the-wall forms of digital marketing that limit the potential of their long hours, countless experiments, and warehouses of data. And in the end, they watch their competition sprint ahead. But what if you built a business around long-term relationships with customers, using data to understand who they are, what they need, and where to find more customers just like them? You can. And you’ll leave your competitors, with all of their data and their short-term thinking, to poke around in the scraps. In Converted, you will learn how to: • Understand the full value of each relationship • Engage in an ongoing conversation with your best customers • Ask the right questions so you can anticipate your customers’ needs • Find more great customers A real person is always on the other end of the transaction. Converted shows you how to win their hearts. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Bank Lending in the Knowledge Economy Mr.Giovanni Dell'Ariccia, Dalida Kadyrzhanova, Ms.Camelia Minoiu, Mr.Lev Ratnovski, 2017-11-07 We study bank portfolio allocations during the transition of the real sector to a knowledge economy in which firms use less tangible capital and invest more in intangible assets. We show that, as firms shift toward intangible assets that have lower collateral values, banks reallocate their portfolios away from commercial loans toward other assets, primarily residential real estate loans and liquid assets. This effect is more pronounced for large and less well capitalized banks and is robust to controlling for real estate loan demand. Our results suggest that increased firm investment in intangible assets can explain up to 20% of bank portfolio reallocation from commercial to residential lending over the last four decades. |

Robinson, 2020-12-20 How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: The Department of Mad Scientists Michael Belfiore, 2009-09-30 The first-ever inside look at DARPA—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—the maverick and controversial group whose futuristic work has had amazing civilian and military applications, from the Internet to GPS to driverless cars America's greatest idea factory isn't Bell Labs, Silicon Valley, or MIT's Media Lab. It's the secretive, Pentagon-led agency known as DARPA. Founded by Eisenhower in response to Sputnik and the Soviet space program, DARPA mixes military officers with sneaker-wearing scientists, seeking paradigm-shifting ideas in varied fields—from energy, robotics, and rockets to peopleless operating rooms, driverless cars, and planes that can fly halfway around the world in just hours. DARPA gave birth to the Internet, GPS, and mind-controlled robotic arms. Its geniuses define future technology for the military and the rest of us. Michael Belfiore was given unprecedented access to write this first-ever popular account of DARPA. Visiting research sites across the country, he watched scientists in action and talked to the creative, fearlessly ambitious visionaries working for and with DARPA. Much of DARPA's work is classified, and this book is full of material that has barely been reported in the general media. In fact, DARPA estimates that only 2 percent of Americans know much of anything about the agency. This fascinating read demonstrates that DARPA isn't so much frightening as it is inspiring—it is our future. |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Città vince, città perde Francesco Rutelli, 2024-10-04T00:00:00+02:00 Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia, la gran parte dell'umanità vive in città, spesso in megalopoli con oltre 10 milioni di abitanti. Ma cosa rende le città tanto attraenti? E perché in certi momenti alcune emergono per dinamismo, piacevolezza, creatività e altre decadono e si spengono? Perché una città vince e una perde? Babilonia, Gerusalemme, Atene, Roma, Parigi, Londra, New York, Pechino… da sempre nella storia le città hanno determinato i cambiamenti decisivi per l'umanità. E oggi, più che mai, sono le città il terreno di competizione e di conflitto a livello globale: ci sono città che crescono e che vincono e altre che declinano e che perdono. Alcune addirittura letteralmente affondano. In questo libro, attualissimo, documentato e ricco di dati, Francesco Rutelli – riconosciuto oltre le linee di divisione politica per la visione e i risultati ottenuti nel governo della Capitale – descrive le sfide dell'innovazione e quelle per la vivibilità, le trasformazioni possibili e i problemi che faranno la differenza per città, metropoli, comunità di cittadini. La crisi climatica imporrà cambiamenti profondi. La transizione digitale e quella dell'Intelligenza Artificiale muteranno abitudini, servizi, istruzione, lavoro; creeranno opportunità e anche minacce, sino a forme di sorveglianza di massa. Non avremo edilizia, produzioni manifatturiere, né organizzazione degli uffici e del commercio uguali a quelle che abbiamo conosciuto per decenni. Dovremo cambiare molte realtà dell'abitare, della mobilità, del tempo libero. Crisi demografica e immigrazione imporranno scelte cui siamo tuttora impreparati. Tra le domande cui risponde il libro: sarà meglio puntare sull'industrializzazione del turismo, su nuove infrastrutture e architetture, su grandi eventi, su cultura e patrimonio, sull'attrazione di investimenti e finanza o maggiormente sulla knowledge economy, basata su tecnologia, ricerca, innovazioni, centri di formazione di eccellenza? Nel mondo, qualcuno prenderà il testimone di Silicon Valley o di Hollywood? Come impatterà il caos delle nuove megalopoli africane sul futuro prossimo dell'Europa? Sarà Singapore, o una conurbazione cinese, a interpretare il ruolo svolto per decenni da Hong Kong? Davvero verrà costruita NEOM, la città saudita nel deserto, lunga 170 km e con 9 milioni di abitanti? Crimini e violenze urbane metteranno in ginocchio grandi centri che prosperavano fino a poco tempo fa? Il modello europeo avrà un avvenire globale, a partire da Londra e Parigi? E l'Italia? I nostri centri – tra città-regione e reti connesse di città e territori – potranno rinnovarsi ed essere attrattivi? Quali potrebbero essere i nuovi modelli di governo e organizzazione capaci, finalmente, di realizzare trasformazioni coraggiose per quello che riguarda la sostenibilità, l'autonomia energetica, la gestione delle acque e una nuova e re-inventata partecipazione civica? |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Leaders Eat Last Simon Sinek, 2014-01-07 The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video Millenials in the workplace (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. Officers eat last, he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a Circle of Safety that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking. |

In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions. The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: 《經理人月刊》第223期／ChatGPT立即上手 經理人月刊編輯部, 2023-06-01 Editor's Note｜ 編輯台時間 工作和機會 大概一兩個月前，我在網路上看到暢銷書《人類大歷史》出了增訂版（2022年底），基於想了解內容有何異同，我點開了作者哈拉瑞（ Yuval Noah Harari）寫的「新版序」。 文章前4段，這樣開頭和結尾：「我在2011年寫完《人類大歷史》之後，⋯⋯而那就是我想在這本書裡講的故事。」我完全忘了這幾段文字的讀後感，只記得從第5段起的敘述：「以上這些文字的英文原文，並不是由我（哈拉瑞）所寫，而是請一套強大的人工智慧（AI）程式模仿我而寫下。這套人工智慧名為GPT-3，是由舊金山一間專精於機器學習的研究實驗室所創。」 我讀到這篇序言時，正當ChatGPT在全球引爆熱議，激起了讚嘆、興奮、焦慮，甚至警覺和恐懼。哈拉瑞顯然在更早之前就體驗到GPT的威力，他的一些反應和回應，我只能說是感同身受：「GPT-3這篇文本最驚人的一點在於：它還真的是讀得通的，不只是把幾個句子隨機丟在一起，而有著連貫的邏輯。」「讀著那些文字，簡直下巴都要掉下來。」 雖然哈拉瑞在驚嘆之餘，也慶幸說，「這讓我暫時鬆了一口氣：GPT-3並不會搶走我的工作，至少看來還得再過個好幾年。」但是身為讀者，我得老實招認，在讀新版序的前幾段時，真的沒能評判出觀點的好壞、是不是出自作者，更別說看出是AI寫的了。對我來說，運用慣常的閱讀方式，那就是一篇流暢的文章，或許還點頭稱是了。 哈拉瑞士歷史專家，「對於GPT-3寫出的文字，我得花上1、2分鐘仔細閱讀，才能得出結論，知道那不是我寫的內容。」他也暫時不擔心工作被搶走。但是那個「至少看來還得再過個好幾年」，是幾年呢？到底是機器學習得快，還是人類學得快？ 關於科技會搶走「人類工作」的議題，已經吵了幾百年。雖然這次有關AI的爭論，更多是關於「人類」本身，但是不可諱言，隨著人工智慧看似愈來愈貼近人類原本自以為無可取代的智慧，探討關於人與機器的關係，只會愈來愈迫切。 我安撫自身焦慮的方式，可以用我分別在2本書裡看到的段落說明。在《變動思維》提到，「在瑞典，國家的政策要保護的是人，不是工作。」在《5000天後的世界》裡，針對人工智慧將會衝擊沒有創造力，只能憑生產力存活的人這個問題，答案則是，「沒有人只能專門追求生產力和效率。」 人類具備學習的能力，可以learn，relearn和unlearn，如果機器可以幫我們做掉制式、機械、枯燥、乏味的工作，甚或協助我們發揮創造力，那這真的是一個好的時機去思考：我們到底要做什麼？還可以做些別的什麼？ 總編輯 齊立文 |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Working Effectively with Legacy Code Michael Feathers, 2004-09-22 Get more out of your legacy systems: more performance, functionality, reliability, and manageability Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts. In this book, Michael Feathers offers start-to-finish strategies for working more effectively with large, untested legacy code bases. This book draws on material Michael created for his renowned Object Mentor seminars: techniques Michael has used in mentoring to help hundreds of developers, technical managers, and testers bring their legacy systems under control. The topics covered include Understanding the mechanics of software change: adding features, fixing bugs, improving design, optimizing performance Getting legacy code into a test harness Writing tests that protect you against introducing new problems Techniques that can be used with any language or platform—with examples in Java, C++, C, and C# Accurately identifying where code changes need to be made Coping with legacy systems that aren't object-oriented Handling applications that don't seem to have any structure This book also includes a catalog of twenty-four dependency-breaking techniques that help you work with program elements in isolation and make safer changes. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century Jessica Bruder, 2017-09-19 The inspiration for Chloé Zhao's 2020 Golden Lion award-winning film starring Frances McDormand. People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book. —Rebecca Solnit From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads. Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Dead Man Talking Vikas Kakwani, 2023-11-22 My father died at the very young age of 49. I had an epiphany as we carried his body to the cemetery. Grief tends to focus the mind. People get varied insights at a crematorium, especially when bidding farewell to someone close. However, this awareness is left behind the moment one steps out, as ‘death’ is left behind and ‘life’ takes over. It is akin to appreciating ‘light’ only when you are in ‘darkness’. Yet, the moment the light is switched on, we tend to forget all we experienced when we were in the darkness. In this book, I have given words to those revelations. I have tried to explain darkness to you while you are in light and help you understand how to live life from the perspective of death. But then, these learnings are exceedingly difficult to teach as these are experiential, like an electric shock. Immerse yourself in these revelations that will be life-transforming and learn how to use them in every aspect of your life to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: The Idea Factory Jon Gertner, 2012-03-15 The definitive history of America’s greatest incubator of innovation and the birthplace of some of the 20th century’s most influential technologies “Filled with colorful characters and inspiring lessons . . . The Idea Factory explores one of the most critical issues of our time: What causes innovation?” —Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review “Compelling . . . Gertner's book offers fascinating evidence for those seeking to understand how a society should best invest its research resources.” —The Wall Street Journal From its beginnings in the 1920s until its demise in the 1980s, Bell Labs-officially, the research and development wing of AT&T-was the biggest, and arguably the best, laboratory for new ideas in the world. From the transistor to the laser, from digital communications to cellular telephony, it's hard to find an aspect of modern life that hasn't been touched by Bell Labs. In The Idea Factory, Jon Gertner traces the origins of some of the twentieth century's most important inventions and delivers a riveting and heretofore untold chapter of American history. At its heart this is a story about the life and work of a small group of brilliant and eccentric men-Mervin Kelly, Bill Shockley, Claude Shannon, John Pierce, and Bill Baker-who spent their careers at Bell Labs. Today, when the drive to invent has become a mantra, Bell Labs offers us a way to enrich our understanding of the challenges and solutions to technological innovation. Here, after all, was where the foundational ideas on the management of innovation were born. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Vos défis de A à Z en passant par BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX et bien sûr Y Gaëtan Namouric, 2024-07-22T14:47:00-04:00 Vous êtes gestionnaire ? Vos défis se multiplient ? Votre vie se complique ? Rassurez-vous. Vous n’êtes pas seul. Ou seule. Comme stratège, formateur et conférencier, j’ai croisé plus de 13 000 gestionnaires comme vous. Des professionnels qui doivent naviguer à travers les bouleversements du travail. Des femmes et des hommes qui gardent le fort malgré les tempêtes et les changements profonds qu’a connus la société ces dernières années. Leurs tâches se sont démultipliées, leur rôle s’est transformé, mais les attentes, elles, n’ont pas changé : elles sont élevées. Très élevées. Leur réalité est un équilibre difficile entre la stabilité et la nouveauté, entre le connu et l’inconnu, entre la planification et l’improvisation. Ces gestionnaires rencontrés au fil des ans ont eu toutes sortes de questions pour moi. Ils m’ont demandé des outils, des références, des exemples concrets, des exercices pratiques, de la théorie aussi, et parfois juste un peu d’inspiration. Ce livre est un condensé de tout ça : des histoires, classées de A à Z, qui vous feront réfléchir et sourire. Par l’auteur du livre à succès Ce que vous avez à dire n’intéresse personne Expert reconnu, Gaëtan Namouric aide les plus grandes organisations du Québec, mais aussi ses petites PME, à être plus créatives et plus courageuses. Il a travaillé pour Apple, Ubisoft, Nike, Lucas films, Burger King, Toyota, Air France/KLM et de très nombreuses entreprises d’ici. Il a signé plus d’une centaine de campagnes et récolté de nombreux prix et nominations, notamment à Cannes. Fondateur de la firme-conseil Perrier Jablonski, il est également formateur et conférencier. « Cet abécédaire est une source de réflexion enrichissante et profonde. Quel cadeau précieux que de s’offrir le luxe d’élargir sa façon de penser ! » — Nadine Lindsay, présidente, OACIQ |

| dell technologies layoffs 2023: The CTO's Guide to Code Quality Mark Harrison, 2019-10-07 This is not a book about algorithms. This is not a book about architecture. This is not a book about frameworks. This is not even a book about project management, agile or otherwise.This is a book about the other things that are important to writing and maintaining a sustainable code base.It's also a book about automation of parts of the programming process.If you're a CTO, the economic case for code quality plus automation is already strong, and getting stronger with each new iteration of hardware.If you're a programmer (maybe aspiring to be a CTO), it's about being able to concentrate on the stimulating, interesting, and creative parts of the craft, and getting the tedious parts done for you.Much of the book is about the general craft of programming and helping programmers become more productive, and should be useful no matter what programming language(s) you've chosen.However, I find it works better to illustrate principles with examples. And this edition of the book picks examples from the PHP programming language. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Responsible Restructuring Wayne F Cascio, 2002-09-09 Firms that restructure through downsizing are not more profitable than those that don't, and often end up hurting themselves in the long run. Responsible Restructuring draws on the results of an eighteen-year study of S&P 500 firms to prove that it makes good business sense to restructure responsibly-to avoid downsizing and instead regard employees as assets to be developed rather than costs to be cut. Wayne Cascio explodes thirteen common myths about downsizing, detailing its negative impact on profitability, productivity, quality, and on the morale, commitment, and even health of survivors. He uses real-life examples to illustrate successful approaches to responsible restructuring used by companies such as Charles Schwab, Compaq, Cisco, Motorola, Reflexite, and Southwest Airlines. And he offers specific, step-by-step advice on what to do-and what not to do-when developing and implementing a restructuring strategy that, unlike layoffs, leaves the organization stronger and better able to face the challenges ahead. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Losing the Signal Jacquie McNish, Sean Silcoff, 2015-11-05 Winner of the Canadian National Business Book Award 2016 Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2015 In 2009, BlackBerry controlled half of the US smartphone market. Today that number is less than one per cent. What went so wrong? Losing the Signal is the riveting story of a company that toppled global giants before succumbing to the ruthlessly competitive forces of Silicon Valley. This is not a conventional tale of modern business failure by fraud and greed; instead, the rise and fall of BlackBerry reveals the dangerous speed at which innovators race along the information superhighway. With unprecedented access to key players, senior executives, directors, and competitors, Losing the Signal unveils the remarkable rise of a company that started above a bagel store in a small Canadian city and went on to control half of the US smartphone market. However, at the very moment BlackBerry was ranked the world’s fastest-growing company, internal feuds and chaotic growth crippled the company as it faced its gravest test: the entry of Apple and Google into the mobile phone market. Expertly told by acclaimed journalists Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff, this is an entertaining, whirlwind narrative that goes behind the scenes to reveal one of the most compelling business stories of the new century. |
| dell technologies layoffs 2023: Transmission Hari Kunzru, 2005-01-25 The award-winning writer of White Tears and Blue Ruin takes an ultra-contemporary turn with the story of an Indian computer programmer whose luxurious fantasies about life in America are shaken when he accepts a California job offer. Lonely and naïve, Arjun spends his days as a lowly assistant virus-tester, pining away for his free-spirited colleague, Christine. Arjun gets laid off like so many of his Silicon Valley peers, and in an act of desperation to keep his job, he releases a mischievous but destructive virus around the globe that has major unintended consequences. As world order unravels, so does Arjun’s sanity, in a rollicking cataclysm that reaches Bollywood and, not so coincidentally, the glamorous star of Arjun’s favorite Indian movie. |
