Compensation at the Top will add original intellectual capital to the issues of paying for performance and will bring the alignment research alive with stories, experiences, and perspectives from people who have dealt with these issues for years. The book will feature an original data base, collected for a 25 year period, that will quantify how much total compensation is actually delivered to a CEO for a given level of company performance, revenue size, and industry. The authors are developing this empirical data base across a broad group of companies (i.e., the S&P 1500), representing the Executive Labor Market (ELM), and will report the actual realized pay for given levels of performance. As a result, all constituencies evaluating executive pay will be able to determine, on an analytically-grounded basis, whether pay actions, as well as pay design, are appropriate. The book will also provide real world stories, perspectives, and insights from thought leaders on executive compensation. Interviewees will include compensation committee members, executives, academicians, government leaders, and shareholder activists.Show book
Digital is not a technological conversation; it's a people conversation. The heart of Mike Saunders' exciting new book, HumanCentric, is how to build a successful business in the Fourth Industrial Revolution while focusing on human stakeholders. Never before have we had so much information so readily available at our fingertips and there is no doubt that acceleration of innovation and the velocity of disruption underpinning the Fourth Industrial Revolution are having a major impact on businesses. Is it realistic to be at the forefront of these disruptive forces? Is it even necessary? It most certainly is. Knowledge of these disruptive forces – notably mobile, social, the Internet of Things, data and blockchain – equips us to build our businesses in the change that is enveloping us, but we need a framework to help us understand how to operate in a new revolution, how to organise the chaos into success. It is this framework to which Mike has been applying his mind for the last ten years and in this book he presents just such a model to help us to navigate the digital world and build value in a humancentric way. The four concepts of his model are explore, ideate, intersect and create and he unpacks each of them in detail and with crystal-clear clarity, while never losing sight of the human element so essential to ensuring success in an ever-evolving world. With his wide experience both locally and internationally, and his success in running the highly respected DigitLab, as well as his passion for sharing knowledge, Mike is uniquely positioned to share a complete framework for human-centred digital transformation. Our role in life is not to become digital. Instead, it is how to succeed in a digital world.Show book
