Undisruptable A Mindset of Permanent Reinvention for Individuals, Organisations and Life

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!)."

In our world of incessant change, we are all threatened by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—at the individual and organizational levels.
