Billy Beane on Achieving Radical Disruptive Change<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

Issue Overview<\/h4>\n

For our cover feature for this edition, we spoke to the legendary Oakland Athletics General Manager – Billy Beane. We delve into what can we learn from the environment, people and processes that Billy built at the A\u2019s, an organisation that continues \u2013 even now over a decade later \u2013 to innovate and find creative solutions allowing the team to punch above its weight.<\/p>\n

For our second feature we spent a day with the Royal Ballet. As well as being one of the world\u2019s most prestigious ballet companies, the RB is a world-class centre of excellence and home to some of the most dedicated and focused performers on the planet.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere we talk to the incredible, multi Ironman champion Chrissie Wellington, explore new ground in the Nature\/Nurture debate with The Sports Gene author David Epstein, and uncover the secrets of \u2018flow\u2019, that state of absolute mental focus, with the researcher Steve Kotler.<\/p>\n
