  5. Theory of Change, the right way
    Theory of Change, the right way
    Impariamo a progettare il cambiamento che vogliamo vedere. Il libro del corso.
    Francesco Fullone

    I numeri ti dicono cosa succede. Non ti dicono perché. La tua organizzazione misura attività — conferenze fatte, partecipanti registrati, borse erogate — ma non ha mai definito quale cambiamento vuole generare nel mondo. "Theory of Change, the Right Way" è il metodo pratico per partire dal futuro che vuoi creare e lavorare a ritroso fino alle azioni di oggi. Con il backwards mapping, le assumption nascoste e le sentinel metrics, imparerai a progettare impatto misurabile invece di sperare che le cose migliorino. Training from the Back of the Room: impari facendo, non ascoltando.

  6. The Sovereign Developer

    You don't owe the world your code. Open-source culture has a default: build something good, publish it, license it, answer the issues, keep it compatible forever. The Sovereign Developer asks the question that default skips: what does this developer actually gain by making this work public, and what do they give up to do it?This is not an argument against open source. It's an argument against treating openness as the automatic answer for every project. Drawing on economics, law, and the realities of maintainer burnout, the book makes the case that keeping software private can be the better choice for a given developer, and if you've already published something that no longer serves you, it offers a framework for deciding what to do next.For developers who have felt pressure to open-source something without ever weighing the cost, this book makes the case for the other option.

  7. The Sociopreneur's Playbook

    Profit does not have to come at the expense of people — and purpose does not have to depend on charity.Somewhere between the business that only counts money and the charity that never counts on itself, a third way is emerging. It is not philanthropy with a product line, nor branding with a heart. It is a fundamentally different kind of venture — one where the core operation itself creates impact, where sustainability and mission are built into the same mechanism.This is not a dream. It is a discipline. And it can be learned.From problem diagnosis to responsible scaling, from mission-locked governance to honest impact measurement — here is the complete practical guide to building ventures that do well by doing good. No fluff, no hollow promises — just the design choices, structures, and leadership that turn conviction into something durable.

  12. AI Is Not a Product. It's Infrastructure.
    AI Is Not a Product. It's Infrastructure.
    And that changes everything - for hospitals, for boards, and for the policymakers who shape the system around them.
    Lucien Engelen

    The dominant narrative still treats Al as a new software category - something to procure from a vendor, deploy in a department, measure ROI on, and slot into existing systems. This view has produced thousands of pilots, hundreds of case studies and research papers, and surprisingly modest impact on actual organisational performance. That is not a technology problem. It is an organizational one.
