Ever seen a “game-changing” corporate initiative kick off with fanfare, only to tangle employees in a baffling array of buzzwords, then gradually stagnate, and eventually fade away into obscurity—no change, no improvement, no lessons learned? The Incredible Story of Deft (2nd ed.) lays bare the dirty secret tanking most change efforts: overhyped frameworks, mental models, and “miracle cure” certifications that are as ill-timed as they are ultimately useless—except for adorning a CV and fluffing CVs and propping up pretenders who swear they’ve cracked how work “should” be done through allegedly valuable, rare, and inimitable knowledge with a mystical air. Marvel, rage, scoff, laugh (or cry, or both) by observing the interactions of fun characters at a 2-day workshop that aims to train the employees of the fictional Betovlax Corporation on the perils of Deft.

Like the previous two books, the third is a strong work and full of both literary and formatting innovations, and some computer geek humor. This final book in the series takes an unexpected direction for the main character.

This is a short version of a much longer story. It is after all, the story of a life amidst a technology revolution. This story is not for the faint of heart or those who do not really like to read. So if you are one of those, I would suggest that you stop now to save yourself some time and effort, and perhaps frustration.

The Insider title relates Lefty’s “Forrest Gump” like appearance within the seminal moments of the birthing and maturation of the personal computer, and the Internet.
