Learn to embrace change with a new and productive outlook with this cutting-edge resource on personal and organisational transformation

Change is a necessary and inevitable part of our personal and professional lives. But many of us―and many of the companies in which we work―struggle to come to grips with that reality. All too often, attempts at organisational change are haphazard and piecemeal, and fail to consider the fundamental reshaping of the world around us.

Undisruptable delivers an insightful and concise treatment of how to organise one's self and mindset to take advantage of the opportunities that drastic and rapid change offers. Providing simple frameworks and perceptive analysis of the repeated patterns that underlie many of the seemingly unrelated changes taking place over the last decade, author Aidan McCullen demystifies the principles of change.

You'll learn to understand the drivers of change and how to overcome the barriers to adaptation. You'll discover how to see change as an opportunity, rather than an obstacle. Finally, you'll get the techniques and frameworks necessary to help you and your organisation thrive in a time of unprecedented evolution and change.

Ideal for business leaders, managers and executives, Undisruptable is also an invaluable resource for company founders, as well as casual readers who seek to make major or minor changes in their own personal or professional lives.

"A masterpiece! Aidan McCullen's been through the gristmill of change, and come through with great wisdom and guidance for all of us. This is a book to treasure and reread."
―Barbara Oakley, author of A Mind for Numbers and Learning How to Learn

"As the poet Paul Valery said, 'the future is not what is used to be'. Organizations across the board must come to grips with permanent reinvention as their needed way of being. Aidan McCullen's gifted storytelling will inspire you and get you on your way to permanent reinvention."
―Mark Johnson, co-founder Innosight and author of Lead from the Future

"Undisruptable is so much fun to read, and incredibly important for people who work in strategy, innovation and the management of change (which we all do now!)."
―Charles Conn, Patagonia Board Member and author of Bulletproof Problem Solving

Aus dem Klappentext

Our world of incessant and unrelenting change is increasingly defined by the concept of disruption. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) describe the environment in which businesses find themselves. The individuals who work in these businesses face similar challenges with the exponential growth rate of artificial intelligence and a raft of other technologies.

In Undisruptable, former professional athlete and transformation consultant Aidan McCullen brings business leaders and individuals alike on a conceptual journey to bring order to the chaos. By identifying repetitive patterns that can be anticipated and harnessed, the author shows how to develop the mental agility we need to move forward. You'll discover how and why change, including organisational change, is a natural and positive part of life. You'll learn to reframe resistance and fear as milestones rather than millstones. You'll realise that we cannot predict the future, but we can identify repeatable patterns of change.

Undisruptable demystifies the principles of change through a blend of analogies, innovation frameworks and exemplars of permanent reinvention such as Fujifilm, Amazon and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

By the end of this book, you will have a fresh set of lenses through which to perceive disruption and you will welcome change with the permanent reinvention mindset. This mindset will help you and your organisation to become Undisruptable.
