Who should read this?

  • People tired of Lean being seen as over-complicated
  • Teams ready to act, not just talk
  • Curious minds
  • Anyone who wants better without jargon
  • Anyone looking for straightforward story about Change

This book isn’t highbrow. It’s high-use.
You’ll find yourself picking it up, putting it down, and picking it up again.
It’s the kind of book that sticks around, in your bag, on your desk, in your thinking.

Learn about systems without losing yourself in slides.

Learn to lead without sounding like a manual.

And learn from bees, because they’ve been quietly brilliant for centuries.

 

Acts of Change

When readers apply the book and share what’s changed — that’s a Buzzzz Back.

What Is a Buzzzz Back?

Buzzzz Back’s are changes sparked by Swarm of Change.
They’re real, lived, tried-and-tested shifts that made work better.
Big or small — doesn’t matter.

A wall with two new lists:
“What we’re low on” and
“What we’ve run out of.”
That’s our first – the #1 Buzzzz Back.

Simple. Powerful.

 

The Spark to Start

“Bees? A keynote? A dusty notebook? Here’s how a swarm became a book.”

Beefore the Swarm.



For a long time, this was just an idea.



I’d toyed with writing a book — even considered Top Trumps-style cards.

Read the origin story

Why We Swarm

Change is personal.
This site isn’t about spotlighting an author. It’s about sharing the impact that Advocates of Change have had — often without knowing it.

They shaped the author.
And now this book might shape you.
And maybe… you’ll shape someone else.

That’s the swarm.
That’s the buzzzz.

What will you change?

We love bees

We love bees — they can tell a compelling story.

And you’ve landed where your own story can come alive. 
This isn’t just a website.

It’s a webSwarm — a place where small changes gather into something bigger.

One person read the book. One person made a change. And shared it.

What if you did too?

No big launches. No over-polished case studies.

Just better than before. 
That’s what this is about.
