gerard fairtlough

Gerard Fairtlough, the founder and former Chairman of Triarchy Press, died on 15th December 2007. Gerard was an inspiration to all who knew and worked with him and he brought a singular elegance to his work, whether as an author, businessman or academic. He established Triarchy Press in 2005 in order to share his ideas on alternatives to hierarchy and the company was launched on publication of his seminal work The Three Ways of Getting Things Done: Hierarchy, Heterarchy and Responsible Autonomy in Organizations.

Gerard's son Matthew Fairtlough has now joined Triarchy Press and, together, we are determined to build on Gerard's legacy. We will offer an extended range of publications that challenge our assumptions about the way society and organizations work. In June 2008 we published No Secrets! Innovation Through Openness which Gerard was working on prior to his sudden death.
