Geoffrey Moore is an author, speaker, and advisor who splits his consulting time between start-up companies in the Wildcat Venture Partners portfolios and established high-tech enterprises, most recently including Salesforce, Microsoft, Autodesk, F5Networks, Gainsight, Google, and Splunk. Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations.&nbsp;
His first book, Crossing the Chasm, focuses on the challenges start-up companies face transitioning from early adoption to mainstream customers. It has sold more than a million copies, and its third edition has been revised such that the majority of its examples and case studies reference companies coming to prominence in the past decade. Moore’s latest business-related work, Zone to Win, addresses the challenge large enterprises face when embracing disruptive innovations, even when it is in their best interests to do so.&nbsp;
It’s time to stop explaining why they don’t and start explaining how they can. This has been the basis of much of his recent consulting. In a significant departure from Moore’s lifetime of business-related consulting, Moore uses his expertise in creating frameworks and applies it to the meaning of life itself and the big question, “What is going on?”. His latest book, The Infinite Staircase: What the Universe Tells Us About Life, Ethics, and Mortality, offers readers a complete look at how the universe has evolved and our ethical place within it.
&nbsp;As Moore says in the book, “Our core sense of good and bad does not come from above. It is neither transcendent nor divine. Rather, it is inherent in our mammalian upbringing.” Irish by heritage, Moore has yet to meet a microphone he didn’t like and gives between 50 and 80 speeches a year. One theme that has received a lot of attention recently is the transition in enterprise IT investment focus from Systems of Record to Systems of Engagement.&nbsp;
This is driving the deployment of new cloud infrastructure to complement the legacy client-server stack, creating massive markets for the next generation of tech industry leaders. Moore has a bachelors in American literature from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Washington. After teaching English for four years at Olivet College, he came back to the Bay Area with his wife and family and began a career in high tech as a training specialist.&nbsp;
Over time he transitioned first into sales and then into marketing, finally finding his niche in marketing consulting, working first at Regis McKenna Inc. The three firms he helped found: Were the Chasm Group, Chasm Institute, and TCG Advisors. Today he is chairman emeritus of all three.

With his proven approach, Aaron Dignan reveals how to reduce bureaucracy and red tape in your startup or global organization. He explains that nearly everyone feels frustrated by the same things: lack of trust, bottlenecks in decision-making, siloed functions and teams, meeting and email overload, tiresome budgeting, short-term thinking, and more.&nbsp;
Yet many business gurus promise the solution to these problems, but they change almost nothing about the way we work because they fail to recognize that organizations aren't machines to be predicted and controlled.&nbsp;
Instead, they are complex human systems with potential waiting to be unleashed. Now Dignan teaches you how to define what you want your team or organization to do differently.

Sheryl Sandberg is a technology executive, author, and philanthropist. She served as Facebook's Chief Operating Officer (COO) from 2008 until August 2022.

In Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan explores the concept of evolutionary organizations. These are companies that are flexible, adaptable, and can change as needed. They're not stuck in old ways of doing things. Instead, they're always looking for better ways to operate. If you're tired of the same old, same old at work, this book might just inspire you to push for change.

Embrace Evolutionary Organizations

Dignan digs into the idea of self-management. He believes that employees should have more control over their work, rather than being micromanaged. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction. If you've ever felt stifled by a boss or manager, you'll find this part of the book particularly interesting.

The Power of Self-Management

The author challenges traditional work structures and hierarchies. He suggests that these outdated models can hinder creativity and innovation. Instead, he proposes a more decentralized approach where everyone has a voice. If you've ever felt like just a cog in the machine at work, this book will give you a fresh perspective.

Questioning Traditional Work Structures

Aaron Dignan emphasizes the importance of purpose in work. He argues that when employees understand the 'why' behind their work, they are more engaged and motivated. This book encourages you to find your purpose at work and to advocate for it.

The Importance of Purpose

Brave New Work encourages readers to adopt new work practices. Dignan provides practical advice on how to implement these changes in your own workplace. If you're ready to shake things up at work, this book will give you the tools you need to make it happen.

Adopting New Work Practices

Brave New Work

Aaron Dignan sees the same phenomenon everywhere he looks. Our most trusted and important institutions in business, healthcare, government, philanthropy, and beyond are struggling. They’re confronted with the fact that the scale and bureaucracy that once made them strong are liabilities in an era of constant change. For the past ten years, he has studied organizations and teams with a new way of working that prioritizes adaptivity and autonomy over efficiency and control. Aaron contends that teams everywhere need to join them in the future of work.
As the founder of The Ready, a global organizational transformation and coaching practice, he helps companies large and small adopt new forms of self-organization and dynamic teaming. Clients include GE, Kaplan, Lloyds Banking Group, Microsoft, Citibank, FreshDirect, Hyatt, Airbnb, Bloomin’ Brands, Charles Schwab, PG&amp;E, Fidelity, New York Public Radio, and charity: water.&nbsp;
Dignan is an active angel investor and helps build partnerships between the startups and end-ups he advises. He has sat on advisory boards for GE, American Express, PepsiCo, and Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, as well as the board of directors for Smashburger. He is currently traveling and speaking in support of his new book Brave New Work (Portfolio 2019).
