Leading the M&A Moments That Matter

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

The leaders who thrive over the next decade will not be the ones who compete with AI on its own terms. They will be the ones who invest deeply in the qualities that make them irreplaceable. This is The Human Brand.We are at an inflection point in the history of leadership. The qualities that used to be the bedrock of great leaders--analytical skills, deliverable speed, clear communication--can now be easily matched or outperformed by AI. So if these don't make a leader great, what does?The Human Brand argues it's the fundamentally human qualities of leadership that will make them thrive--the ability to exercise genuine judgment, build real trust, or be authentically present with another human being. Those qualities are not footnotes to leadership. They are what leadership is. That is your human brand and this book provides a clear, grounded, and practical path to building one.<ul><li>In Part 1, you'll tackle the anxiety surrounding AI head-on to better understand your value in the company when AI can do what you used to do. You'll learn what tasks can easily be tackled by AI without value loss and which you should focus on.</li><li>In Part 2, you'll learn the how to develop the four core qualities of the human brand--judgment, empathy, courage, and presence--and what makes them so important.</li><li>In Part 3, you'll translate those qualities into action, learning how to hone the art of storytelling and use your brand to build a company culture that can stand the test of time.</li><li>Finally, in Part 4, you'll learn a framework for self-development and how to leave a legacy built on your humanity.</li></ul>The Human Brand is a book for leaders who want to navigate the AI era not with anxiety, but with clarity, purpose, and a deep confidence in what makes them irreplaceable.

How Leaders Stay Relevant and Competitive in the Age of AI

The Human Brand

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.

Regenerative People: Why Renewal Is Key to Lasting Leadership

Despite the recognized significance of projectification, the empirical quantification of its extent remains limited and methodologically diverse. By employing a systematic literature review (SLR) procedure, the study identifies the existing studies that focus on the quantitative measurement of projectification. This method-based review examines existing methods to measure projectification, critically analyses methodological approaches, and assesses their overall quality using the AXIS tool. The analysis reveals considerable variance in reporting, stratification criteria, sampling procedures, sample size and a gap in the handling of non-responses, highlighting the need for standardized measurement frameworks to enhance comparability, reliability, validity, and replicability. Moreover, the detailed analysis of Total Survey Error components with confidence intervals and sample representativeness reexamination indicated that projectification saturation might be more prevalent than previously claimed. We provide a new definition of projectification and propose a framework to improve the methodology of projectification measurement studies, including standardized reporting guidelines that aim to encourage similar measurements in other countries. More importantly, the book provides key takeaways for the business community by answering the fundamental questions: what to measure, how to collect the data and how to report those.
