Executive-ME is a career development framework, intended to help you accelerate how you succeed in what you want to do, build wealth faster and be the best you can be. The framework is, I believe, especially useful to help you navigate your careers
as the use of technology and automation impacts and changes traditional career structures.
The book is most likely to help readers between the ages of 18 and 34 who are embarking on their career, and/or still in their early career phases, or even those who have already started their careers but feel they have become stuck in their career.
For those of you who are born into the Z Generation (born between 1995 and 2015), or the Y or Millennial Generation (born between 1980 and 1994), the book is likely to be particularly useful as the rapid rise of automation technologies will have the most
profound changes on your career structures. The book is I believe also equally useful to anyone embarking out on their own business, or those working in the “gig” economy, where the principles set out will be useful to you.
Older readers will still likely find the concept of Executive-ME and the frameworks provided useful, especially if they are going through a transition stage from corporate career to smaller business or their own start-up later in life or are working in
an industry that is about to be changed by increasing automation from technology and collaborative tools. This now encompasses many roles that were in the past viewed as highly skilled which years of education and learning went into.
The book has been borne out of practical experience. You can read more about my story in the About the Author chapter. It has also been the longest project, I have ever procrastinated on. For a go-getter and proactive person, it amazes
me how easy it has been to always put it off, but with two of my children now in University and likely to join the job market in a few years, it has provided the final motivation to get writing. Many of the tools and frameworks set out in the
book were taught to new graduates as part of the technology graduate induction and development programme that a former employer asked me to run, fifteen years ago.
