This phenomenon is called technical debt, and practical solutions exist. In Managing Technical Debt, three leading experts introduce integrated, empirically developed principles and practices that any software professional can use to gain control of technical debt in any software system.Using real-life examples, the authors explain the forms of technical debt that afflict software-intensive systems, their root causes, and their impacts. They introduce proven approaches for identifying and assessing specific sources of technical debt, limiting new debt, and “paying off” debt over time. They describe how to establish managing technical debt as a core software engineering practice in your organization.
- Discover how technical debt damages manageability, quality, productivity, and morale–and what you can do about it
- Clarify root causes of debt, including the linked roles of business goals, source code, architecture, testing, and infrastructure
- Identify technical debt items, and analyze their costs so you can prioritize action
- Choose the right solution for each technical debt item: eliminate, reduce, or mitigate

The Teaching Delusion: Why teaching in our schools isn’t good enough (and how we can make it better)
The Teaching Delusion by senior education consultant Bruce Robertson offers a bold, refreshing and sometimes provocative stance on teaching and leadership. Informed by the latest educational research and drawing on two decades of professional experience, Robertson examines how teaching in schools can be transformed from good to great.The new title from John Catt Educational poses challenging yet important questions to its readers. Schools are filled with great teachers, but is great teaching taking place in every classroom? How can educators expect students to cultivate a lifelong passion for learning if they themselves are lacking this?
Robertson’s solution is twofold. To promote excellent teaching, there must be a shared understanding of what high-quality teaching really is what does it look like, and how can it be fostered? Secondly, there must be a school-wide desire to engage in professional learning. With his school having won the General Teaching Council for Scotland’s Excellence in Professional Learning Award in 2019, Robertson uses his personal track-record of success to explore how these barriers can be addressed to lead to a transformation in teaching practice.
Written by a teacher and school leader for teachers and school leaders, The Teaching Delusion aims to support teaching communities to develop and improve their practice, in order to ensure that all students receive the same level of excellent education. Aligning himself firmly on the side of teachers and keen to avoid teacher bashing, Robertson sensitively engages in an often controversial discussion about how to improve the quality of teaching, aiming to boost knowledge, awareness and ultimately self-esteem in both educators and learners.
The Teaching Delusion combines practicality with pedagogy in a thoughtful, unique approach making it a vital resource for teachers and leaders at all levels who are looking to better their practice.

There are also lessons in leadership, motivation, work ethic, self-awareness, positive mental attitude, self-control, discipline, patience, emotional intelligence, personal growth, responsibility, fulfilment, respect and, above all, happiness!

Rassie: The Inspirational Autobiography from South Africa’s Double World-Cup Winning Coach
THE BOLD NEW MEMOIR FROM SOUTH AFRICA’S DOUBLE WORLD CUP-WINNING COACH RASSIE ERASMUS
Rassie Erasmus has been called a genius. He’s been called reckless. All his life, he’s done things differently. Now, with his trademark candour, Rassie talks openly about his adventures and misadventures at the pinnacle of world rugby, both as player and coach.
From his role in Nick Mallett’s record-breaking Springbok team of the late 1990s, to the devastating injuries that cut short his playing career, to his revolutionary coaching career, Rassie is an essential window into one of the most successful figures of modern rugby.
When his teammates relaxed, Rassie preferred to watch hours of video and devise winning strategies. His coaching methods were initially laughed off – before being eagerly adopted when their success proved undeniable. He fought the rugby establishment at the Stormers, and later earned the grudging respect of Irish fans at Munster.
Most crucially, Rassie talks about his greatest contribution to South African rugby: appointing its first black captain, Siya Kolisi, without much fanfare or controversy. As his bold plans for effective racial transformation of the national team achieved immediate success, they culminated in glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Here, that monumental period is recounted in vivid, insightful detail.
Entertaining and eye-opening, Rassie is full of behind-the-scenes revelations, telling the story of a towering figure in world rugby.

THE GO TO MARKET HANDBOOK FOR B2B SaaS LEADERS: HOW TO STACK THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOUR WHEN SCALING YOUR SOFTWARE BUSINESS
There are few people we admire more than the Founders and Leaders of software companies who have the courage, determination and, some might say, sheer madness to put their livelihoods and reputation on the line, to leave their own ‘dent in the universe’. It’s a day to day, up at dawn, pride swallowing siege to lead such a business. And we know this for a fact because we’ve walked in your shoes many times.Over the last 25 years, we’ve been involved in the start-up, scale up and exit of several successful technology businesses, that between them have realized close to billion dollars of shareholder value. But along the way we’ve also had more than our fair share of disappointments and have the mental scars and bruising to prove it. We’ve made mistakes and fallen in what felt like bottomless pits. But fascinatingly enough, we learned as much from the ones that didn’t work, as we did from the successes. It’s these lessons which we thought we’d share in this book.
So, who is this book for? We think there are three use cases here, so let’s expand.
Firstly, you could be a Founder who has raised seed money or achieved a Series A and who set off like a rocket in the early years, conquering all before them. But something has happened.
For some reason the business is not growing as fast as you’d once hoped. Without perhaps knowing why, sales have started to slow, and some air has come out of the tyres amongst key stakeholders. Renewals are harder to achieve, once automatically accepted upsells are being rejected and pricing is being squeezed. There’s a sense that the business needs a re-set and perhaps fresh ideas, and energy are needed to get the team back to smashing targets
What we’ve learned is that if things have started to slow, especially from a sales point of view, it’s generally down to one of two things. Either the core value proposition has become lost somewhere in the heat of battle and has shifted with or without your knowledge. Or the sales team have lost their way and need some fresh inspiration. We’ll address both these issues (and many more) in this book. Sometimes it’s a combination of both, sometimes it’s something different, but these are two most common reasons we’ve found. If this is you, we hope this book will provide some fresh inspiration.
The second use case would be a Technical Founder who has created some brilliant software but is unsure about how to go to market. Without trying to sound too like Liam Neeson, creating a highly effective sales and marketing plan requires a particular set of skills and experience.
You might well be thinking it’s time to invest in an expensive sales team, and that might be the right answer. But before you do that, it might be worth reading this book because it contains a set of workbooks that will significantly stack the odds in your favour of gaining repeatable sales traction.
Finally, this book is for Founders who are starting out on the SaaS journey and thinking about where to begin. You’ve come up with a great idea on how you might change the world for the better, but before you go all in, feel like you’d like to understand the Go to Market process more.
This book is made up of ten workbooks which we recommend you follow sequentially and take time at the end of each chapter to reflect and then take action. We’ll teach you how to prepare your pain statement and then test it on personas within your target market. We’ll discuss how to uncover your perfect customer and what an Economic Buyer looks like. We’ll build Market Maps and debate the best ways you can become famous in your chosen field. We’ll look at Product Messaging, packaging, and pricing and at the very end we’ll show you how to put together an exciting Investor Proposition for when you need to raise capital. At its heart, this book is a Go to Market Handbook for SaaS Leaders because there’s nothing more important than hitting your sales targets.

- The practice environment
‘This is the practical approach I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Calvert provides a strong guiding framework for delivering consultancy projects from beginning to end. His writing makes consulting easily accessible for anyone who wishes to deliver their particular expertise into a client organisation.’ Cynthia Pexton-Shaw, Elevation Learning
‘A book that gets to multiple editions is clearly a classic of its sector. Calvert’s is in its seventh and will probably go on to many more. It achieves a threefold feat: of being useful to the expert and to the recently qualified and to the student. Even those of us who have spent decades in this profession need a consultancy bible to refer to. Calvert shows how to be rigorous and systematic, but the book is packed with practical advice from one who is both an academic expert and a senior practising consultant. This is both The Art and The Science of Consultancy.’ Ian Watson – Immediate Past Chair ICMCI
‘This book explains in plain English the role and daily challenges of life as a management consultant, and has been an excellent source of reference in building our business. Calvert presents a practitioners view covering the requisite soft skills as well as the mechanics of solving the client’s business problems.’ Martyn Evans, Consulting Director, Altus

Clever Security Clever Business: Using a Security Management System to enhance security, unlock business opportunities and boost cost-efficiency
Enhance security. Unlock business opportunities. Boost cost-efficiency.
Terrorists and other criminals are constantly probing the cyber and physical defences of businesses, testing the robustness of the security measures and the alertness and resolve of the people. These are real risks yet the response is often questionable. Businesses adopt security measures that provide uncertain levels of protection and place a drag on business opportunities in return for what seems an unfathomably big budget.
Underlying the unease about the security measures and budget is the ill-informed security culture of “It will never happen here….”.
If only there was a better way….
If only there was a way to understand the magnitude of the security risks, what security measures were appropriate, and what the security budget should actually be.
If only there was a way to coordinate physical, cyber and personnel security.
If only there was a way to align security to business goals, enabling progress rather than restricting it.
If only there was a way to assure the business that it was adequately protected and there would be no unwelcome surprises.….There is, and it’s easier than the “carry on as you are” option
Clever Security, Clever Business reveals the secrets for blending agile security with informed business management to deploy security where and when it’s needed. It shows how a Security Management System – a SeMS – can equip security and business managers with the tools to keep security in proportion with the right budget for the right security measures.
Properly executed, a SeMS is an enabler of business success, opening doors to new business opportunities by providing the certainty needed to make confident business decisions – and doing so cost-efficiently.
But you can’t buy a SeMS off the shelf that will support the goals and harness the idiosyncrasies of your business, you have to grow one organically. Based on the experience of successful SeMS projects, Clever Security, Clever Business shows you how to build a practical corporate security management solution and develop healthy security behaviours using proven business processes and methods.“Very thought provoking and a must read for any CEO and Head of Security”
Billy Hann, CEO, Dublin Bus“Engaging, thought-provoking, a very approachable and practical explanation of security management”

Collective Intelligence: How to build a business that’s smarter than you
“Sundberg and Begg have produced an essential guide to help leaders tap their organization’s full potential by creating the conditions for critical thinking, clear communication, and nimble execution.”
Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret, Drive, and To Sell is Human
Businesses need to be smart to succeed, but it’s not enough to make yourself smarter as the leader or to fill the company with smart people. Businesses full of smart people (and led by them) make stupid decisions all the time. Instead, in today’s rapidly changing, uncertain world you need to design your business itself to be intelligent, to harness the collective abilities of its people by systematically addressing critical thinking, communication and focus.
The real lesson from Amazon, Google and the like – that enables them to keep winning year after year – is that they do business intelligently. Business is complex, which is why it requires a deep, practical intelligence to survive, let alone thrive. This book shows why businesses that act smartest, and display an organizational capacity for critical thinking, underpinned with clear and effective communication, allowing them to develop razor-sharp focus, are the ones that really stand out and achieve sustained success.

Mind the Inclusion Gap: How allies can bridge the divide between talking diversity and taking action
Diversity programmes are everywhere. But are they working?
A handful of organisations and individuals are leading the way but, on the whole, our diversity efforts are moving at a glacial pace. Homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny remain stubbornly pervasive – meanwhile, many inclusion programmes do more to create negativity toward the diversity agenda than they do to bring about measurable and lasting change.
While most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go so far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. Instead, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. But this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help.
This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting diversity. It will build your confidence and practical know-how to help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face in the workplace and in the world. And it will give you everyday skills to move from talking about diversity to taking action, allowing you to play a meaningful role in shaping an inclusive future.

Revolution: The new sports biography revealing the incredible true story of Mikel Arteta’s success at Arsenal football club
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The inside story of Mikel Arteta’s astonishing transformation of Arsenal
November 2019. Unai Emery’s final game as Arsenal manager sees the Gunners languishing eighth in the league. Appointed in the dying embers of the Wenger years, Emery’s 18 months as Arsenal boss has seen the team and the club go backwards – playing unimaginative, pragmatic football, and recently losing to London rivals Chelsea in the final of the Europa League. Something had to change; a fresh head with fresh ideas. A new leader.
This is the story of how Mikel Arteta turned Arsenal into one of the most exciting, innovative and feared teams in the league. From cutting his teeth as an assistant under Pep Guardiola before joining Arsenal in the winter of 2019, through to title contenders years later – including bust-ups, Covid, disappointments, FA Cup wins, fan revolt, and eventually the rise of an extraordinary young team standing on the edge of greatness – this book will be the first of its kind to explore the workings of Arteta’s philosophy and how he transformed the club from outsiders to title challengers.
With chapters on his tactical innovations, in-game strategies, transfer insight and, of course, an account of the memorable 2022-23 season – Revolution is the story of an extraordinary football ascent and the first draft of Arsenal’s new history.
Charles Watts’ book ‘Revolution’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 28-08-2023.
