Chez les consultants du #numérique, un management et des départs brutaux - lemonde.fr/emploi/article/2025

> Le secteur des entreprises de services du numérique connaît un fort ralentissement, marqué par une forte hausse du nombre de licenciements et de ruptures conventionnelles. Sous les radars, nombre de consultants sont licenciés pour faute, pour des motifs abusifs.

La belle ville.

Here goes my #introduction for the mastodonians:

I am human living in #Reno #Nevada.

My work is so many things.. namely Hellenistic #astrology, #tarot, #energywork, #holistic #nutrition, #herbalism, #culinary #consulting, #visualart (mostly #collage), #horticulture when I can manage it, and a multitude of other fancies.

I’m here because I would like to find a platform outside of Meta where what I do and enjoy will be valued and shared.

I have no idea how to use this thing, so please help!

LeanpubLo and Behold, X! - Books 1 to 5: The Tale of NateThis is one of those series of books that I wish that I could use a time machine to go back in time and give myself before entering the world of Lean, Agile, continuous improvement and change management. The "Lo and Behold, X!" saga consists of 5 books that tell the story of Nate. Nathaniel Lee Abel is a young scholar who discovers a compendium of articles on the body of knowledge of X: a mysterious set of principles, practices and tools that well-meaning, passionate experts promise can be used to transform any kind of kingdom of enterprise (i.e., corporation) with. As Nate ploughs through a series of X pilot projects, X PMOs, X initiatives, Global X Management departments, X conferences, and other forms of establishing X across all realms within the opulent kingdom of Obratheria, like a Luke Skywalker he relies again and again on the Yoda-like (or Daniel/Miyagi, if you prefer) guidance of the venerable Robert McBarkle the Fourth, a retired titan of leading business and change, to overcome a series of mounting obstacles and machinations--an increasing number of which are a result of the Machiavellian Lord Richard von Kopf, who sees X as the last opportunity to enrich his legacy within the kingdom's annals before he retires. Personalities and aspirations collide, as do the various approaches and attempts at figuring out the next step in the ever-elusive "X transformation" of the kingdom according to what the consultants and business periodicals simulacra foretold in their prophecies. With an expansive cast of interacting characters based on Jungian archetypes and a comprehensive set of situations that many larger organizations face while trying to get Lean, Agile or any other change-heavy set of ideas to stick, this is a series of books that make you smarter about a) the politics and agency issues within successful organizations that seek the latest shiny object in management, and b) the clashing psychopathologies of those who promote, detract from, or endure attempts to change how things get done on a foundational level. If you liked business novels such as The Goal, The Incredible Story of Deft, The Phoenix Project, The Goldmine and The Lean Manager, and have a deep interest in avoiding political pitfalls as you go from an enthusiastic beginner to a manager of strategic initiatives and the teams that develop and manage them, I am pretty sure that you will enjoy this series too. Same goes if you have the authority to introduce any X in your organization with the help of people like Nate. If you have read the 2nd edition of "The Incredible Story of Deft", here you will also discover the origin story of Jobelina "Lina" Theemaux, the trainer who delivers the workshop on avoiding pitfalls of business hype surrounding what I call "Deft", i.e. any fad-du-jour, buzzword-laden and "miracle cure" that is supposed to solve any and all business problems.
