Strategy decision making and action used to be off limits to all but the select few at the very top of an organization. It was a largely cerebral activity focused on grand long-terms plans made at annual off-site retreats away from the daily challenges of the business. That is no longer the case. The current business environment does not wait for companies to slowly adjust in an annual meeting. The relentless pace of change renders today's long-term future tomorrow's history. Does this mean strategy is no longer useful, or even feasible? No. Good strategists are needed now more than ever.

Arbre dont j'ignore le nom est une méditation du poète sur l'exil et l'oubli. L'exil et l'incapacité à dire dans une autre langue : quand « les mots sont pauvres, ils montent et descendent comme le hoquet d'un nourrisson dans le brouillard d'une autre langue ». L'exil et le souvenir d'histoires familiales qui permettent d'évoquer ce que l'on fut, là d'où l'on vient.

When the Germans invaded Norway in 1940, teenager Odd Bjerke bid his family farewell and confidently made his way to Sweden alone, on skis, with the intention of traveling to Britain to fight for his country. His wartime odyssey began when he joined the Norwegian Free Army in Scotland in 1940...

When a series of suspicious fires leaves multiple victims dead in their homes, NYPD hostage negotiator Abby Mullen knows in her bones that the terrors of her childhood have returned. As a young girl, she narrowly escaped a fire set by Moses Wilcox, a fanatical cult leader who’s been presumed dead for thirty years. These murders have his fingerprints all over them. 

The victims are the most popular girls in school, each murdered and arranged in a grim fairy-tale tableau. To find the killer, rookie detective Callum Pederson has gone undercover where the Princes hold court. He’s found enough secrets among the bros to bring them in for questioning - but he could very well get lost in the games the Princes play. 

As a child, Abby Mullen escaped the insidious Wilcox cult when it literally went down in flames. Years later, she’s the NYPD’s best hostage negotiator and a mother. She thought the worst part of her life was behind her. Until now. Armed conspiracy theorists called the Watchers have attacked the local high school - and taken her daughter hostage. With the delusional Watchers holding her child at gunpoint, the unflappable Abby might be at her breaking point. But the clock is ticking on her daughter’s life.

Lieutenant Abby Mullen is no stranger to crisis. As the hostage negotiation instructor for the NYPD, she deals with worst-case scenarios every day. Nothing fazes her anymore. That all changes when she gets a call from Eden Fletcher, a fellow survivor of the infamous Wilcox cult. The two haven’t spoken since the night of a tragic, fiery massacre, when their paths diverged. But now Eden needs Abby’s help: someone has kidnapped her son and is demanding a $5 million ransom. As Abby throws herself into the case, she can’t help but wonder why the kidnapper has targeted Eden.

Aidan thought having enemies was hard. Turns out gaining allies is harder. Surviving enemies who wanted to kill him pushed Aidan to the limit in his second year at Mountainfall Academy. But now, with a tyrant's army about to break through the kingdom's defenses, Aidan's third year at the academy promises to be the toughest yet. Not least because he has to convince three stubborn nations that they need to work together or they'll all fall to the evil at their doorstep.

Buddhism is practiced by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, from Tibetan caves to Tokyo temples to redwood retreats. To an outside viewer, it might be hard to see what they all have in common.

Les tireurs sportifs est un long poème écrit par Golan Haji dans les premières années de la révolte syrienne, après 2011. Les vers s'égrènent, chapelet d'observations minutieuses du quotidien, de scènes, d'images, d'instants vécus qui nous plongent dans un monde en lutte, un monde en guerre. L'écriture n'est jamais sinistre, jamais obscène, elle donne seulement à voir et à entendre par le truchement d'une magnifique langue poétique.

Poète itinérant du macadam, Mo Abbas observe et croque en détails et en jeux de mots les incongruités urbaines, consigne les panneaux de signalisation, les noms des rues insolites, des devantures de snacks, les cris des goélands, les cris des mamans, les bruits, les voix, les sons, les têtes, les bêtes… Julien Martinière a mis en scène un bestiaire et un ours dans les rues de la ville. Un ours avec un chapeau, des lunettes, une moto, des oiseaux, des lézards et des hommes, tout cela est-il bien urbain ?

Les Poèmes en peluches sont une plongée dans le monde et les bruits de l'enfant, ses peurs un peu terribles parfois, ses jeux, ses instants de folie, ses gros mots… Les gros mots de celui qui apprend à parler. Car c'est bien cela, le parti pris d'Edith Azam : le parti pris de l'enfance, replonger en enfance, retrouver les sensations crues et les émotions nues, sans censure du gros mot ni de la peur enfouie.

Ces Poèmes pour affronter le beau temps & profiter du mauvais sont des considérations humoristiques sur le temps qui passe et la scansion des saisons. La forme répond au fond du texte : ainsi le mot tunnel devient-il graphique grâce à deux -nn- agrandis. Le mauvais temps, quant à lui, s'écrit en gouttes de pluie.

En égyptien, cet album a pour titre Le poussin n'est pas un chien. Le poussin de cette histoire est petit, doux et rond, il vit dans un monde intérieur fait de caresses et de siestes. Le chien en revanche est grand, droit et nocturne, il vit dehors et défie les chiens, les enfants, les méchants. Le héros et narrateur est un jeune garçon, entre poussin et chien, qui quitte l'univers tendre du giron maternel pour le monde extérieur et agressif.
