Book 1:
Facing the multiplicity of disciplines, professions, and specialized economies
We live in a world with an accelerated pace in the multiplication of its activities. We see specialized disciplines, professions, economies, technologies, digital platforms, and ecosystems emerging all the time. How to deal with these changes? How can a person or organization locate itself in the face of so many possibilities in an increasingly digitized world?
With this book, readers will be able to understand better the changes we are experiencing, what implications these changes signal for the future, and how people can understand where they are and where they can act to contribute to the society of which they are part.

Book 2:
User, Customer, or Multiple Actors Experience
This book proposes a question for a topic that is so emphasized nowadays: the User Experience. The objective, however, is to bring other perspectives on the experience not only of users but also of the multiple actors that constitute multiple networks.
The book is an invitation to deepen reflection on this vast subject. We hope to help readers better understand the movement of creation and expansion of new multi-actor networks and some of the possible ways for people and organizations to position themselves in the face of these new and growing sets of relationships.

My Data, Data Storage Places, and Digital Accounts
Digital transformation is increasingly part of the routine of organizations and people. This transformation has taken a leap forward with cloud computing and advanced to much broader dimensions. The challenge for each person to relate to an ever-widening digital network is growing, leading to the need for individuals to be better informed and prepared.
Considering this context, the book offers a comprehensive and unique reflection from each individual’s perspective in relation to their data and digital processes.
