So we’re a month away from the next Collective Shelf discussion session – this time focusing on Unchartered by Margaret Heffernan.
How are we all finding this book so far? Personally, I’m taking it slowly and savouring the points it makes. So far, my favourite bit has been the points raised on memory in Chapter 2. The idea that our unreliable memories don’t need to be a negative, instead can be seen to help us be more creative and flexible is an interesting one to explore and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out during the rest of the book!
This time around I’m listening to/reading it via Audible and then recapping using the paperback. It’s been helpful to keep me more focused on the ideas being raised and elaborate in my notes about how I think the points could help myself and the wider community.
So how have you found it so far? And how are you reading it?

I totally get that, Pete. I’m hoping that it’ll be more of a case of first third is putting the ideas out there, second third is connecting them to how we move forward, and last third on how it can power change proactively…let’s see!

Hey everyone!
I’m just into Part 2: ’What would you do if you were free’
It’s been a decent read so far, lots of ideas thrown around! Many of these I am agreeable on, but some a little bifurcating.
One example I’m pondering is the Automation paradox (GPS vs Maps) which is true, but what relevance does that have in 2022?
I’m enjoying it greatly, the world is indeed infinitely more complex than we give it credit for, and we should proceed with cur…

Thank you for this take on it, Jake – it’s really interesting to use these books to not only question what we’re creating our careers but also in the wider world. The discussion this month will be excellent, I know.

I’m finally into it and enjoying the theme of how misleading it is to simplify forecasting. It brings together some really interesting concepts although I agree it hasn’t started to tie them together yet

Happy World Book Day, Collective Shelfers 📚🌟
How’s everyone finding Uncharted so far? This is a judgement free zone, so it’s perfectly okay to say that you haven’t started reading yet, but for those of you who have – where are you at and are you enjoying the book?
I found this Ted Talk from Margaret Heffernan on The Human Skills We Need in an Unpredictable World:

– it was a really interesting watch so definitely check it out 🌟
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on our current read!

The talk’s quite interesting. The first part is talking about what we refer to at ISRS as ”radical uncertainty” – low probability/ high risk events and high probability/ low risk events (usually occurring simultaneously) that create a lack of resilience in organisations. The second part is that it’s now predominantly human issues vs technology issues that are holding us back. Not sure I’ve picked these up in the book yet.

I am enjoying the book so much that I have ordered her back catalogue! It has consolidated some of my learning from last few years – timely, as I mentioned some requirements in the future of work in a talk couple of weeks ago. Namely, the embracing of uncertainty and fostering an environment to experiment. (in addition, from a neuroscience of change/coach perspective, framing language around ”experiment – language used in a lab” rather than everything being a ”conte…

I’ve read more than I was expecting (about 50 pages in!) – my plan is to properly deep dive over the Christmas break as it seems like the perfect book to help kick off the new year!

That was a great read, Caoimhe Kelly. I’d say you’d nail it irrespective of the circumstances, but I’m quite happy to share some credit.

I’m about 1/3 way through. I think some of the points are really interesting e.g. using history as a predictor of future behaviour but it’s not really coming together as a book yet. It seems to make half a point and then move onto something else.
