Summary

The concept of Lean has been around for decades, but there are few books written by experienced Lean change agents who fully understand the subject. Offering his years of experience and many real-life examples from the workplace, Mark Roberts has written a comprehensive guide to those who are thinking about applying Lean. Each aspect of a Lean roll out is explained thoroughly in an understandable and clear way, covering all the typical concepts and problems encountered. Whether you're a CEO wondering if Lean will work for you, or if you are already midway through implementing Lean, you will find this book an extremely useful source of advice, encouragement and practical know-how.

    For years, companies have been implementing programs that promote social responsibility and improve employee health, both of which benefit the financial bottom line. Now it's time to focus on positive social interactions and relationships in the workplace. Why? Research shows that authentic, trust-based relationships increase job satisfaction, engagement, productivity, and retention—and even decreased healthcare costs. In Work Better Together, two experts from Deloitte explain how working remotely, over-relying on digital communication, and always being "on" is fast-increasing feelings of isolation and burnout—and how a work culture driven by quality relationships can reverse these trends. The authors show how to cultivate positive relationships by: focusing on self-care, such as physical health, quality sleep, and taking time off; tapping into human skills, such as empathy, authenticity, and communication; using technology with intentionality to strengthen relationships, while breaking the negative habits technology fosters; managing workplace relationships, whether you’re in the office every day or telecommuting—or something in between; and developing a culture of strong relationships that drive quality collaboration throughout the organization.

    What this book isn’t: Basic money management...go to your accountant. Get rich quick...don’t believe in it. Complete...learning never ends. What this book is: Fourteen Articles full of Attitude! Plus, a few common sense ideas to help us all stay in the profit groove—no matter how much the nightly news tries to turn us survivors into quitters! 
    In 1979, the author, her husband and newborn daughter lived in a one-room apartment in the back of a small repair shop. At that time, their shop grossed about $20,000 a year. In 2001, Fran's business cracked the million dollar mark, and has continued to do so every year since. She and her business have survived uninsured cancer, embezzlements, divorce, cutthroat competition, economic challenges and the steep learning curves our rapidly changing times force on all of us. "The more things change, the more they stay the same." This book shares the attitudes that helped Fran thrive. 
    Fran's original humorous speeches have won state awards.

    Andrew Piper grew up liking books and loving computers. While occasionally burying his nose in books, he was going to computer camp, programming his Radio Shack TRS-80, and playing Pong. His eventual love of reading made him a historian of the book and a connoisseur of print, but as a card-carrying member of the first digital generation—and the father of two digital natives—he understands that we live in electronic times. Book Was There is Piper’s surprising and always entertaining essay on reading in an e-reader world. Much ink has been spilled lamenting or championing the decline of printed books, but Piper shows that the rich history of reading itself offers unexpected clues to what lies in store for books, print or digital. From medieval manuscript books to today’s playable media and interactive urban fictions, Piper explores the manifold ways that physical media have shaped how we read, while also observing his own children as they face the struggles and triumphs of learning to read. In doing so, he uncovers the intimate connections we develop with our reading materials—how we hold them, look at them, share them, play with them, and even where we read them—and shows how reading is interwoven with our experiences in life. Piper reveals that reading’s many identities, past and present, on page and on screen, are the key to helping us understand the kind of reading we care about and how new technologies will—and will not—change old habits.  Contending that our experience of reading belies naive generalizations about the future of books, Book Was There is an elegantly argued and thoroughly up-to-date tribute to the endurance of books in our ever-evolving digital world.

    Cyber Intelligence-Driven Risk provides a solution to one of the most pressing issues that executives and risk managers face: How can we weave information security into our business decisions to minimize overall business risk?In today's complex digital landscape, business decisions and cyber event responses have implications for information security that high-level actors may be unable to foresee. What we need is a cybersecurity command center capable of delivering, not just data, but concise, meaningful interpretations that allow us to make informed decisions.Building, buying, or outsourcing a CI-DR™ program is the answer. In his work with executives at leading financial organizations and with the US military, author Richard O. Moore III has tested and proven this next-level approach to Intelligence and Risk. This book is a guide to: building, buying, or outsourcing a cyber intelligence–driven risk program; understanding the functional capabilities needed to sustain the program; using cyber intelligence to support Enterprise Risk Management; reducing loss from cyber events by building new organizational capacities; and supporting mergers and acquisitions with predictive analytics.
