Ivell D: The International CTO Programme

The International CTO Programme

A Blueprint for Technology Strategy, Leadership and Innovation

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

Leading with clarity, character and quiet impact

Becoming More

What if companies do not fail because they ignore the future, but because they prepare for it? Business history is usually told through reassuring stories about complacency. Kodak failed to understand digital photography. Nokia missed the smartphone. Detroit underestimated electric vehicles. The lesson appears obvious: pay attention, embrace change and invest early. There is only one problem. The story is often wrong. The global automobile industry did not ignore the future. For more than a decade, its leaders talked incessantly about electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity, software and shared mobility. They invested enormous sums, acquired technology companies, hired software engineers, launched electric vehicles and reorganized themselves around the future they believed was coming. And yet many became weaker. Poisoned asks why? Drawing on more than two dozen interviews across the automotive world, Bryan Reimer and Magnus Lindkvist examine an industry in which almost every important prediction contained some truth, yet the resulting picture of the future proved profoundly misleading. Electric vehicles arrived, but as part of a much larger system involving batteries, charging infrastructure, industrial policy, software and China. Cars became connected, but this changed the economics and architecture of the industry in unexpected ways. Automation advanced, but not along the neat trajectory that had been forecast. Technologies expected to reinforce one another began competing for capital, talent and management attention. The problem was not stupidity, complacency or a failure to notice change. It was incompleteness. Human beings simplify the future in predictable ways. Organizations then magnify those distortions through their structures, incentives, histories and identities. Poisoned traces how this happens and introduces five organizational poisons -- Time, Status, Identity, True Lies and the Edges -- that can turn sensible preparation for the future into a source of strategic weakness. The automobile industry provides the book's central case study, but its predicament is increasingly universal. Technology, geopolitics, capital, consumer behaviour and business models are colliding across almost every established industry. The companies most at risk may therefore be neither the ignorant nor the complacent. They may be the ones confidently preparing for a future that is real, important -- and dangerously incomplete. Poisoned offers a different way to think about disruption. The challenge is not simply to identify the next big trend. It is to see how technologies, institutions, incentives and behaviours interact; to recognise what the dominant story leaves out; and to prevent yesterday's assumptions about tomorrow from becoming today's strategy.

The Great Bombay Bubble

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

An evolved form of leadership is deeply desired and needed in the world, and many people sense this possibility within themselves. They feel called to lead with greater presence, authenticity, and heart, and to create more relational organizations and systems. What this signals is a readiness for a profound inner shift that allows them to lead from an awakened dimension of themselves--yet they often do not know how to actualize that because they lack a clear developmental pathway. A Sovereign Being provides that path by establishing a paradigm of leadership not yet fully articulated in contemporary works, even by authors such as Otto Scharmer and Frederic Laloux, who point towards the organizational potentials of advanced states of personal consciousness but do not provide a clear developmental path for people to actually attain it. This book addresses that gap by asking what it truly takes to develop as leaders who embody higher states of consciousness and, by extension, build more enlightened organizations and systems. VanderPol defines this form of leadership as evolutionary leadership.

The Strategic Evolution and Impact

A History of Management Consulting

Stop circling the drain with traditional business books and prepare for a deep dive into the sub-aquatic depths of corporate absurdity. This book is the definitive manifesto for the 360-degree, marcomms visioneer who isn't afraid to "think" outside the vertical cycle. From dredging the ocean of emotion for granular data to navigating the perilous gap analysis of the brandscape (otherwise known as shopping for clothes), this book skewers the pretentious nonsense of management consultants and "media johnnies" alike. It is a relentless search for integrated, implementationable insight solutions that meet customer needs you haven't even bothered to identify yet.Beyond the biting wit and "Total Con" approach to communication, this book serves a serious purpose: it is a post-mortem for a marketing world that has been pronounced "dead" so many times its corpse is restless for change. By disposing of sacred cows and dismantling the clichés that have infected our boardrooms, it seeks to rescue the English language from the clutches of those who value "impactful consumer mindshare" over actual meaning.
