Hai mai sentito dire “facciamo gli OKR come Google”?Bene. Questo libro inizia proprio spiegando perché non dovresti farlo. Tra aneddoti, canvas colorati e qualche camicia hawaiana di troppo, scoprirai che gli OKR non servono a correre più forte, ma a capire dove vale la pena andare.

Why This Book Matters Now The Toyota Production System (TPS) has influenced industries far beyond automotive manufacturing. It shaped modern thinking about quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Yet, decades after its success, many organizations still struggle to understand what makes TPS unique. Too often, the focus falls on visible practices (kanban boards, value stream maps, standardized work etc.) while the deeper principles remain overlooked. This book takes a different approach. It looks beyond the tools to the thinking that created them. It also explores the origins of these ideas, because understanding where they came from helps us apply them wisely in today’s world. The conditions that shaped TPS such as resource constraints, global uncertainty, and rapid change are not so different from what organizations face now. That is why these ideas remain powerful, provided we understand their intent.

This book is a collection of essays that covers the foundational principles of second-order cybernetics, exploring how observers or participants both impact and are impacted by the systems they observe. Unlike traditional first-order cybernetics, which emphasizes control and feedback in external systems, second-order cybernetics investigates the recursive nature of systems that observe and regulate themselves. The "system" is simply a mental construct dependent on the observer. It is the observer who decides the boundaries, perspectives and interrelationships. This systems thinking is pluralistic, observer based and ethics based. But, how do these insights help tech. practitioners, executives and entrepreneurs? Grab the book and connect the dots for yourself!

Most companies are stuck in "pilot purgatory"—endless AI experiments that never scale. Teams spend weeks sharing clever prompts and one-off scripts, but nothing makes it into production. Budgets evaporate, engineers' enthusiasm curdles into cynicism, and executives start asking "we spent how much on this?" The problem isn't the AI tools—it's the approach. AI models are inherently non-deterministic (ask the same question twice, get different answers), while software engineering demands deterministic, reliable results. Without structure to bridge this gap, AI adoption fails spectacularly. This book introduces PIT™ (Plan Implement Test), a proven methodology that transforms unpredictable AI outputs into reliable engineering workflows. Built from thousands of hours of real development work, PIT™ channels AI's capabilities through structured planning, phased implementation, and comprehensive testing—delivering the consistency that production code demands.

 Dans ce second récit, Anaïs, jeune facilitatrice marquée par une expérience fondatrice, croit avoir trouvé la recette pour « faire décoller » un collectif. Elle tente de rejouer la magie dans une autre organisation… et se heurte au syndrome du cargo cult : reproduire des rituels vides sans en comprendre l’esprit. Ce texte, à la fois roman choral et carnet d’apprentissage, raconte son échec, ses doutes, puis sa métamorphose vers une pratique plus humble et plus ancrée dans le réel.

Le jour où j’ai facilité pour la dernière fois est une œuvre chorale, sensible et minimaliste. À travers les voix croisées d’un manager, d’une cheffe de projet, d’un client interne et d’un facilitateur qui s’efface, ce récit montre comment un collectif se lève et s’organise sans chef ni animateur. Plus qu’un manuel, c’est une méditation sur l’art de créer l’espace et de disparaître au bon moment.
