Demarco M: Choose Hard, Live Easy - the
Art of War for Decision-Making

Choose Hard, Live Easy - the Art of War for Decision-Making

Command Decisions with Clarity, Confidence, and Power-And Live Like a King Who Conquered

This book explores how modern technologies-especially data analytics, machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT)-are transforming supply chain and manufacturing operations. Bridging academic research and industrial practice, the book presents data as a strategic asset driving agility, efficiency, and resilience.Structured around four themes, it covers:-- Foundational analytics and optimization-- Predictive and prescriptive analytics for proactive decision-making-- Real-time IoT data for workflow monitoring and control-- Digital Twins and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for modeling and interactionChapters include mathematical modeling, case studies, and implementation frameworks, with coverage spanning stochastic forecasting, reinforcement learning, anomaly detection, and semantic parsing of logistics documentation.Key benefits include its emphasis on integrated intelligence-blending ML, IoT, and simulation for real-time, predictive insights. It also highlights scalability across industries, with tools adaptable to sectors like automotive, healthcare, and aerospace. Each chapter concludes with open problems and future directions, offering a roadmap for innovation in intelligent operations.

From Predictive Analytics to Natural Language Processing

Data-Driven Innovation in Supply Chains and Manufacturing

Uncertainty Advantage fundamentally reframes how leaders should think about disruption, arguing that uncertainty is the primary source of competitive advantage in modern markets. When crises emerge, value doesn't disappear; it redistributes to those who detect shifts earlier, decide faster, and act while competitors are still in analysis paralysis.

Drawing from real-world wins across various industries, Lynch exposes the fatal flaw that traditional risk management can breed inefficiency. When supply chains collapse, cyberattacks hit, or pandemics strike, defensive leaders hunker down while market winners do the opposite - they pounce.

The book bridges the gap between C-suite strategy and operational execution, dismantling the "minimize and protect" mindset that's killing competitive advantage for most Fortune 500 companies. Lynch reveals the systems, data infrastructure, and decision-making principles, that turn concurrent and relentless threats into profit opportunities while competitors play catch-up.

A Kids Book

From the shores of Hawaii to the walls of a prison cell, Kyle Quilausing’s journey is one of heartbreak, redemption, and hope. In A Kids Book About Choices, Kyle shares his deeply personal story of how a series of bad choices led to devastating consequences—and how he turned his life around to help young people make better decisions. Written with honesty, compassion, and the wisdom that comes from lived experience, this book inspires kids to think critically about their actions, learn from mistakes, and build a future they can be proud of.

A Kids Book About Choices

Technology governance is about choices. Every company must choose the technologies it adopts and how it will deploy them. Those choices matter.

Market forces, technology architecture, norms, and laws all have a strong effect on the choices that any company makes in adopting new technologies. Navigating those forces and deciding how to make the right choices is up to the company's leaders. Choosing digital trust is key to mitigating risk and building trustworthy innovation. Written by corporate governance expert Daniel Dobrygowski, Technology Governance helps business leaders identify and make the choices that will lead to trust and long-term success in a constantly evolving technology landscape.

Focusing on how to earn trust in new technologies and defend innovation in an increasingly mistrustful world, this book is a practical guide to implementing a digital trust-based technology governance program. Technology Governance helps leaders by providing a plan to build and deploy technology better, faster, and more responsibly. It covers the actions organizations can take to build digital trust into the tech that they procure or develop so that it considers all stakeholders' interests and upholds societal expectations and values. It includes coverage of how organizations can navigate the geopolitical and regulatory challenges associated with transformational technologies and includes real-world examples and leadership advice from organizations including Maersk, Google, and Microsoft.

Technology Governance

How can a particular way of argumenting direct our thinking? How does the formulation of a question influence the answer, producing a bias or an insight? And finally, what effect does public communication have on public behaviour?Psychorhetoric and the Psychology of Thought illustrates the role played by rhetoric and communicative heuristics in the psychology of thinking and decision making, and its effect on many areas of our daily life. It gives voice to a new and unconventional approach to the contemporary debate within the psychology of thought that has wide implications for key behavioural phenomena, including biases, creativity, decision making, and public policy. This innovative work challenges conventional wisdom by proposing that cognitive biases are not inherent flaws in human cognition, but rather outcomes of misleading communication patterns that influence our thinking processes.This unconventional approach to the psychology of thought has significant implications for creativity, decision making, economic behaviour, and public policy development. Essential reading for students and researchers in cognitive psychology, communication studies, and behavioural economics, this volume promises to reshape our understanding of human rationality and the communicative forces that guide it.

Psychorhetoric and the Psychology of Thought

'A guide to building life on your own terms.' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of HabitIt's refreshing to read a book so ambitious and humane at the same time.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Positivity__________Extraordinary results don't require genius or grit - they require agency, and anyone can build itYou've been taught success comes from careful planning, learning the ropes, and earning one promotion at a time. But what about the people who seem to skip all that?We all know a few rare individuals who never stop moving, taking wild risks, and collecting public failures, yet somehow always seem to land on top. They act with confidence while you second-guess. They jump while you're still researching. They ask forgiveness instead of permission, and the world rewards them for it.Why don't the rules apply to them?Because they're not rules. They're productivity guidelines for people who've been trained to wait for permission.High-agency people act on the world rather than letting the world act on them. They don't wait to feel ready. They don't ask if they're qualified. They simply do things, and the results follow.You Can Just Do Things reveals the specific strategies that separate those who achieve from those who wait:<ul><li>Increase your surface area for luck - put yourself where opportunities can find you</li><li>Take every shortcut available - the "proper path" is often just slower, not better</li><li>Build forcing functions - design systems that make backing out harder than following through</li><li>Use your deepest insecurities as fuel - your shame contains your most powerful motivation</li></ul>The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn't about talent, discipline or working harder. It's about whether you're willing to claim ownership over your own life. It's to stop asking if you're allowed and start simply doing.This book won't teach you time management or goal-setting. It's a journey and a toolkit for bold living. It will show you how to recognize when you're defaulting to helplessness, how to build the muscle of decisive action, and how to navigate toward a life that's actually yours.Stop asking permission. Start doing things.__________'Through small, decisive actions, you can take control of your life and live the way you want.' Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author'The biggest obstacle to change is in the mind: the mistaken belief that trying is pointless or too hard. Cate Hall elegantly demolishes this barrier... You Can Just Do Things is essential reading.' Eric Ries, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup

Organizational Behaviour

International Series on Public Policy

This book assesses a range of contemporary scholarly approaches to public policy. Bringing together leading scholars in policy studies, each chapter addresses a different theoretical approach to policy design and implementation, drawn from the fields of political science, economics and behavioral science. These include the advocacy coalition framework, discursive approaches, institutional analysis, punctuated equilibrium theory, and multiple streams approaches. The book examines how these approaches were born, their limitations, and the theoretical and research problems they pose.&nbsp;
This newly revised edition also considers how the field of policy studies has evolved over the last decade, and includes two new chapters examining the narrative policy framework and policy transaction approaches. It concludes with a discussion of fundamental issues of democracy in public policy. It is an essential resource for all those involved in teaching, researching and studying public policy.
B. Guy Peters&nbsp;is Professor Emeritus of American Government at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, and President Emeritus of the International Public Policy Association.

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores discretionary decision-making in migration systems in Europe. It investigates how European law influences the existence, exercise and effects of discretion. Firstly, it argues that national lawmakers often regard discretionary decision-making as the most viable option to accommodate standards of European law in their national migration systems. Secondly, the book shows how the exercise of this power has changed from an area of free choice to an instance of legally instructed decision-making. Ultimately, it illustrates how both the proliferation and transformation of discretionary decision-making have improved the legal position of migrants in the European Union, providing a compelling interpretation of a key field of EU law.

The theory and practice of optimization as a tool for successful decision-making when designing new products and processes: While the focus is on the formulation of optimization problems, also attention is given to solution methods, software implementation, and analysis and interpretation of solutions.The book helps the chemical engineer in formulation, solving and analyzing different classes of optimization problems (LP's, NLP's MIP's) at different scales (from individual equipment and product up to plant and supply chain). This book is an excellent guide and companion for undergraduate, graduate students as well as professional practitioners.

Decision-Making Tools for Chemical Engineers

Process Optimization

Senior executives are drowning in information, trapped in meetings, and making consequential decisions without the time or space to think. More tools haven't solved the problem. They've amplifi ed it. When decision-making falters, the cost isn't ineffi ciency-it's stalled initiatives, strategic misalignment, and capital deployed to low-return bets.

In Artificial Organizations, Barry O'Reilly shows how to redesign the way you sense, frame, decide, and act by combining human and machine intelligence. You begin by identifying the traits that make you most effective, followed by the tasks where you create disproportionate value. Only then do you apply AI tools-so they sharpen judgment instead of adding noise.

Using this system will help you:
¿ increase decision velocity without sacrifi cing rigor
¿ improve decision quality under sustained pressure
¿ turn meetings and conversations into compounding information assets
¿ build a personal AI operating system that reinforces executive presence
¿ move from scattered productivity gains to durable decision advantage

Grounded in more than a decade advising CEOs and executive teams-and informed by building and scaling Nobody Studios, a global Top 10 AI venture studio-O'Reilly distills this experience into practical judgment infrastructure for the age of intelligence. 

Featuring real-world case studies from Amazon, American Airlines, Dotwork, HSBC, Progyny, Skyscanner, Slack, and more, Artifi cial Organizations shows how leading organizations have redesigned how decisions get made-not simply how work gets automated. 

This isn't about learning new tools. It's about transforming how you lead-so clarity, conviction, and results strengthen as speed increases across your organization.
