The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World

Internal Consultants: The Driving Force Behind Innovation and Success in Organizations spotlights a powerful yet often underrecognized force in modern business: the internal consultant. In an era of unprecedented change and disruption, internal consultants are emerging as key agents of transformation-driving innovation, generating value, and navigating complex challenges across industries. While external consultants have long dominated the spotlight, this volume reframes internal consultants as strategic leaders shaping the future of organizations from within.
Part of the Research in Management Consulting series, this book traces the evolution of internal consulting, offering a rich exploration of its origins, current practices, and growing impact. Chapters delve into the unique challenges internal consultants face, the distinct value they bring to their organizations, and the best practices that define effective internal consulting. From navigating internal politics to building trust and credibility, the insights shared here are both practical and research-driven.
Written by a diverse group of scholar-practitioners, this volume bridges theory and real-world application, making it an essential resource for academics, consultants, HR leaders, and executives alike. Whether you're building an internal consulting function or looking to elevate its strategic role, Internal Consultants offers the tools and perspectives needed to harness their full potential.

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU. The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society. This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics. The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources. Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.

How much do you know about your body? How much does your body know about you? Internationally celebrated choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor is renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance. His ongoing enquiries into movement and the body have radically defined dance in the modern era. Over the past three decades, he has discovered that our intelligence lies not only in our brains, but in our bodies too. In We Are Movement, McGregor argues that physical intelligence is instinctive, pre-verbal, and continually upgrades itself. Mastering it will allow us all to release the knots in our physical and emotional selves, leaving us free to experience new forms of creativity and connection. Drawing on his research with elite performers, athletes, cognitive neuroscientists, anthropologists and technologists, he shows how we can all become more physically fluent. Using simple steps, from practicing mindful walking to harnessing our bodies' chemical reaction to stress, he teaches us how to become better communicators and more creative thinkers, so we can ultimately live fuller lives. Elegant, cutting-edge and practical, We Are Movement is a user-friendly guide to priming your physical intelligence that will revolutionise the way you live your life.

Errant Intelligence

The Gods Must Be Crazy!

Two civilizations are building the same technology through entirely different logics. One is gilded and theatrical. The other is turbid and relentless. Most investors are watching only one river.
Dragon vs. Eagle is a contrarian strategic forecast that exposes how China's autonomous vehicle manufacturing machine-led by BYD, XPeng, Huawei, and a new generation of pure-play operators like WeRide and Pony.ai-is quietly overtaking the American robotaxi narrative built around Waymo, Tesla, and a $1.5 trillion valuation illusion.
Using the proprietary M¿y¿ Meter, this autonomous vehicle investment guide reveals the staggering per-vehicle valuation gap: Waymo at ~$50 million per vehicle versus WeRide at ~$3 million. The Dinosaur Meter scores the fragility of legacy automakers-Ford (83.4), Volkswagen (79.1), Toyota (70.6)-against a refinancing wall that the capital markets have not yet priced.
At the heart of the analysis is the 'Industrialiser' archetype: how China's state-directed electric vehicle supply chain has driven hardware costs from $150,000 to $150, producing a massive 'Data Monsoon' from BYD's God's Eye ADAS system-now generating 150 million kilometers of driving data per day across 21+ million vehicles. This is not a car story. It is the birth of the first mass-produced embodied intelligence platform.
The book maps the Interdependency Web connecting five nodes-autonomous mobility, logistics, robotics, distributed energy, and financial data rails-and provides a complete investment framework: the Quarter-Kelly position-sizing model, the Six Temples taxonomy, and Three Monsoons scenario planning for 2030-2035.
For investors navigating the US-China technology war, tariff policy, semiconductor export controls, and the LiDAR cost curve revolution, Dragon vs. Eagle delivers what no other book does: the boatman's manual for reading both rivers at once.
From the author of The Gods Must Be Crazy II: A Rooseveltian Renaissance for Trump 2.0, with three decades of Fortune 10 strategic consulting across 40+ countries, Six Sigma Master Black Belt and TOGAF9 credentials, and field expertise spanning the geopolitical risk landscape from BIG4 boardrooms to the ancient ritual traditions of Kerala.

Nick Clegg, formerly one of Meta's most senior executives, presents a blueprint for reforming Big Tech while preserving the essential openness of the internet 'Warns of the dangers posed to a free and open global internet by an age of autocrats and a titanic power struggle over AI' Guardian As democracies seek to curb the power of Big Tech, as authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, and as the AI race supercharges divisions between competing nations, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled. Taking us behind the scenes at Meta, and drawing on his unique experience on the world stage of both tech and politics, Nick Clegg sets out where Big Tech has gone wrong and the radical reforms that are needed if global platforms are to ensure their long-term future. But he also shows that many of the charges against them are overstated or simply untrue, and presents a blueprint for the international cooperation that is needed if we are to preserve what makes them so vital to our future: their potential to empower and improve billions of lives. Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, How To Save the Internet reminds us how much we stand to lose on our current path - and how much we might yet gain from a global, open internet. 'Entertaining . . . lucid, detailed . . . there is much to agree with' Spectator 'Studded throughout [with] good analyses of the political situation around technology' Observer 'A gripping and timely book. Nick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'A wake-up call we cannot afford to ignore' Tony Blair 'A vital read' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn

A critical introduction to the psychiatric technologies of the future Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to transform nearly every area of modern life, and psychiatry is no exception. The field faces the mounting crisises in diagnostic inaccuracy, treatment stagnation, and persistent failures in suicide prevention, while traditional approaches struggle to keep pace with patient needs. AI and neuroscience offer a new path forward, pointing toward a future where mental health care is grounded in objective data, individualized predictions, and biologically informed treatments. Decoding Despair provides a cutting-edge look at these emerging scientific possibilities and the long-standing norms they may replace. Beginning with an examination of psychiatry's current challenges, it moves toward a present where AI-powered tools are beginning to reshape diagnostics, treatment selection, and drug development. The book offers readers a deeper understanding of mental health as both a scientific field and a lived human experience, while igniting an essential conversation about the transformative potential of precision psychiatry and technology. Decoding Despair readers will also find: <ul> <li>Exploration of the patient's journey from first symptoms to being prescribed medication</li> <li>Deep dive into the healthcare system and an understanding of the connections between stakeholders</li> <li>Clear explanations of how AI models work and how they can be practically applied to solving issues in mental health</li> <li>Deep introduction into the world of data and the different models of data acquisition necessary for building AI solutions</li> <li>Analysis of the potential innovations that could come first and the conditions necessary for them to occur</li> </ul> &nbsp; Decoding Despair is ideal for professionals and innovators building the future of psychiatry-as well as anyone seeking to understand their own mental health and the technological breakthroughs poised to reshape this critical field of care.
