W. Somerset Maugham

William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style.

Maugham wrote at a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and winning critical acclaim. In this context, his plain prose style was criticized as 'such a tissue of clichés' that one

Jeff Gothelf

In a world of continuous change, improvement and optimisation the delivery of products to market is no longer the right measure of success. Instead we must focus on outcomes — meaningful changes in human behavior — to tell us if we’ve delivered anything valuable to our customers.
