Most IT directors and ITAM (Information Technology Asset Management) team leads learn on the job. ITAM is specialized enough that one cannot pick-up all the nuances without a lot of mistakes and pratfalls. This book, then, will help accelerate the ITAM program, set baselines for proper measures of success, and ensure both business leadership and the ITAM team are speaking the same language. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Worldwide enterprise IT spending estimate is $3.9 trillion USD for 2020, and expected to continue to increase at about 10% per year. However, software publishers estimate they are losing out on an addition $46.3 billion USD yearly revenue due to software piracy and volume license key abuses.

To make up these losses, software companies engage in a policy of auditing their existing customers to ensure software contract compliance. 68% of all US companies can expect to be hit and fined by a software audit in any given 12-month period, with an average fine of $500,000 USD per audit event. Corporate ITAM initiatives keep failing because they are following the wrong methodology. Asset management should be an exercise of epistemology (as opposed to the transactional or accountancy methods most businesses use today). Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge: what do you know, and how can you prove it. Pragmatic ITAM will take the reader through a brief review of three Western philosophers: Socrates, Rene Descartes, and Blaise Pascal, and present 7 of their basic tenants on the topic. The next section uses these philosophical tenants to explain the ISO/IECs reasoning in building out their best business standards for corporate ITAM teams. The reader can then better interpret the data lake.

Scott Conant

 

Peace, Love, and Pasta, Scott Conant’s most personal and accessible cookbook to date, delves into the evolution of how his cooking has changed throughout his career, and how his connection to food has strengthened as a result of his deep relationship with his family. Previously living a life continuously on the road, like so many of us, during the pandemic Scott embraced the unprecedented opportunity to be at home and cook with (and for) his family every day.

Is ageism a thing? It may be a thing, but it does not have to stand in your way on your journey to find your next career.

Companies are trying to keep a secret about their hiring process… The career search game has changed. Your resume won’t get in front of human eyes until it has been scanned and vetted by a program using artificial intelligence. And some of the so-called keywords are so dumb, one can question how intelligent this AI really is.

What’s more is that most job descriptions rarely reflect the true job. You might try to mirror the description verbiage as closely as possible in your resumes, but if the description does not accurately describe the job, neither will the resume.

How can job seekers overcome these obstacles? Finally, an expert recruiter reveals the science behind finding a new career in today’s market with a step-by-step guide.

 

Deepak Chopra

An enlightening guide to success, fulfillment, wholeness, and plenty, offering practical advice on how to cultivate a sense of abundance in times of fear and insecurity, from New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra

“To attain wealth of the lasting kind, the kind that gives your life meaning, value, and sustenance, base your daily existence on the generosity of spirit.”—Deepak Chopra

Many of us live and operate from a mind-set of lack, scarcity, and limitation. We focus on what we don’t have—financial security, confidence, an intimate relationship—which keeps us feeling insecure and inadequate. We think “if only I could have those things, I could be happy.” But measuring wealth by money or material possessions leaves us feeling drained and spiritually empty. Constantly striving for more often means our ego is driving our thoughts, actions, and reactions, which prevents us from reaching something greater: a true sense of inner peace, acceptance, and fulfillment.

Yet, there is an inner path to prosperity and wealth that, once charted and explored, provides access to the great riches of the universe and life’s unbounded possibilities.

In Abundance, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra illuminates this road to success and wholeness, helping readers tap into a deeper sense of awareness to become agents of change in their own lives. Mixing ancient teachings and spiritual practices with the wisdom he’s garnered over four decades as the leading figure in mind-body medicine, Deepak demonstrates how to transcend self-generated feelings of limitation and fear in order to experience true abundance in all aspects of life. To do so, he offers a seven-step plan along with meditations and mindfulness techniques to help you focus and direct your attention, energy, and intuition so you can experience stability, affluence, insight, creativity, love, and true power.

 

Elijah J. Stacy

 

Elijah Stacy suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a fatal muscle wasting disease. At the age of sixteen, to avoid agonizing surgery, he had to endure enough physical therapy to change the shape of his own spine. It had never been done before, but still, his doctor gave him a small “if.”

In A Small If, Elijah shares thirteen lessons he’s learned throughout his life’s journey of losing his ability to walk, getting bullied in school, losing his brother Max to Duchenne, and learning that his other brother has the same disease.

Elijah explains how to overcome extreme suffering by developing an adapter’s mindset, understanding what it means to control something rather than influencing it, and using other people’s negative energy as the ultimate motivation.

Today, Elijah’s mission to minimize human suffering and propel human prosperity is fueling his ambition to cure his disease. He’s been told he has less than ten years to live, but he’s faced long odds before.

Going OFF SCRIPT doesn’t come naturally to most organizational leaders. We want to control the narrative, ensure ideal outcomes, script the conversations, manage the problems, predict the future, and win (negotiations, new business, market share, and more). But what if good leaders could become better leaders by doing the opposite — by letting go of the control, by going “off script” in their conversations and negotiations, by being present instead of rushing to the future, and by collaborating in authentic, empathetic ways.

 

If your organization is like most, the old way of communicating and managing isn’t working for you. Status quo is coming up short. It’s time to master the art of business improvisation (“improv”)!

The journey of leadership is one of the most significant endeavors of humanity.

Leadership is important for us to understand as individuals – and essential to the ultimate well-being of our people, organizations, communities, and the world at large.

While our leadership decisions determine the direction and consequences of our life and organizational outcomes, too few leaders have a consistent, congruent, and coherent basis for their choices. Weakness here leads to lack of alignment and agreement on what is most important, and ultimately poorer quality of results in our lives and companies.

This book focuses on answering leadership questions you probably should have asked yourself – but many fine leaders never did. Questions like:

– Where does leadership start?

– What are the most important decisions leaders must make?

– How congruent, consistent, and coherent is our decision-making process?

– Why does our organization achieve less than we expect?

– What are important leadership questions to consistently be asking?

– How do I gauge the alignment of my senior team – in minutes?

– Why are we working harder and achieving less than we should?

– Where do we go for deeper and better insights on leadership?

All of these – and more – are addressed in Leadership Starts Here. You are invited to join us on one of the most valuable journeys every caring, committed, and conscious leader knows they must take – to continually improve themselves, their teams, and their organizations. Only then will their leadership reach its ultimate impact and fulfillment.

This is what it is like to suffer due to doctor mistakes and their refusal to admit the mistakes. It is a story of American hospitals, in which 50% of the patients are in the hospital due to having been in the hospital. It is a personal story with a wider look at the failure of our health care system.

This is no polite narrative. The book tells what suffering is – Gary Stern spent three years with his internal organs on the outside of his body – but despite the medical misery and the landmark legal case, the book is a love story, how Carol Stern’s love for her husband overcame the horrors of what they went through. The story of a wife who would not let her husband die until he told her he was ready. A wife who refused to give up, someone who fought the health care system including struggling – successfully – with the White House.

There has never been a more honest book written about the dark side of American health care and about love that knows no boundaries.
