Book Description
I want to tell you a story--one that needs to be told, not because we need another tale, but because we need to know that positive change is possible, and that there is still such a thing as hope. But, mostly, because we need to be reminded that as God's co-creators, we still have the ability to break down the most ingrained barriers by allowing ourselves to be transformed. As with most tales, this one has been years in the making. It features a deeply committed but distinctly isolated and departmentally driven group of people who, in response to the congregation's rapid growth, were driven by an expectation of high energy, proficiency, and creativity. Thus, the more each ministry pulled together to satisfy its own requirements, the more departmental isolation became the norm. With each mounting conflict, it became clear that we could no longer operate in the same siloed mode. This project, then, was designed to foster communication and a re-assembling of those various parts of Christ's body so that our unity might offer a biblical model and reenergize all aspects of ministry. The leading characters in this transformation became intentional conversation and play. While none of us knew what lay ahead, seventeen brave souls embarked on that four-month journey, during which our gatherings included both fun and time to talk. Quickly an atmosphere of familiarity and open hospitality formed as a distinct willingness to play emerged. Facades were easily abandoned as well-chosen games served as an impetus for talking, laughing, sharing, and self-revelation. Magically, these exercises became segues into conversations that facilitated the identification of opportunities and defining of collaborative creations. A significant turning point emerged when the group requested more--more participants, more opportunities to gather with others, and more intentional times for collaboration. Will we live happily ever after? That reality remains to be seen. However, there are important signs that we are at least on our way to living in synergy, rather than in silos.

Book Description
In yet another page-turner, New York Times best-selling author and acclaimed management expert Patrick Lencioni addresses the costly and maddening issue of silos, the barriers that create organizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals. As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars as a fictional—but eerily realistic—story. The story is about Jude Cousins, an eager young management consultant struggling to launch his practice by solving one of the more universal and frustrating problems faced by his clients. Through trial and error, he develops a simple yet ground-breaking approach for helping them transform confusion and infighting into clarity and alignment.

Book Description
IPMA observes an increasing number and importance of projects in business, public and people’s lives, also known as ‘projectification’. In the world of globalisation, an increasing number of organisations are working project-based to cope with the challenges of modern times. Especially now, society is on the brink of such significant changes as global warming and artificial intelligence. Projects drive the development of new products and services, expansions, new capabilities, implementation of new strategies and new generations of infrastructure, and major maintenance and upgrade of existing facilities and infrastructure. This book provides a knowledge base for developing individual competencies for managing projects as described in the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline version 4, which encompasses: - Perspective competencies - People competencies - Practice competencies As projects become increasingly important, we must continue to realise that projects begin and end with people and that their competent performance within the broader context of the environment is at the heart of any successful project. In this book, theories and practices for all ICB4 competencies are described. They are logically sequenced, explained and enriched with practical approaches, which can be learned and applied in the daily project management practice. As such, it aligns entirely with IPMA's vision: to strengthen competence across society to enable a world in which all projects succeed. This book also supports obtaining an IPMA certificate as proof of your competence in projects.

Book Description
This book illustrates an alternative approach to ‘state of sustainability’ reporting by presenting cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary discussions on sustainability issues in the context of a developing country, Botswana. The book volume illustrates how academic publishing can supplement African governments' existing forms of reporting on sustainability by providing on-ground detailed descriptions and experiences relating to achievement of the various sustainable development goals (SDGs). In addition, this process involves, increases and enhances diversity of stakeholders that report on sustainability. Furthermore, the approach resonates with the UN’s recommendation to build local strategies for implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Conventional reporting on sustainability by most African countries is an exercise that is customarily the preserve of designated government ministries. While this form of reporting provides a consistent platform for tracking sustainable development goals, it can also benefit from juxtaposition with in-depth descriptions and experiences provided by academic publishing. Academia, through publishing, provides a framework for on-ground situation-analysis as well as in-depth descriptions of African country’s grass-root experiences, thus allowing for temporal tracking of sustainable development milestones. As this volume illustrates, experiences from the various contributors on this volume highlight different points of departure towards achieving the 2030 agenda. Topics covered include biodiversity, water management, world heritage, environment, education, tourism, gender, institutional approaches to achievement of SDGs, as well as contribution of non-governmental organisations (NGO)'s amongst others.

Book Description
This publication summarises the main findings of a series of high-level expert workshops, organised with support by the European Commission, to deepen the understanding how OECD countries can move towards a broad‐based form of innovation policy for regions and cities. Weaknesses in technology and knowledge diffusion are weighing on productivity growth and innovation in OECD countries, particularly in firms that are distant from the technological frontier (global or national). This in turn weakens their capacity to meet future challenges and undermines inclusive growth.

Book Description
Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent—but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of “fitting in” and “going along” spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. People must be allowed to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud; it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left-field idea could be the next big thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation. Explore the link between psychological safety and high performance Create a culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes Nurture the level of engagement and candor required in today’s knowledge economy Follow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization Shed the “yes-men” approach and step into real performance. Fertilize creativity, clarify goals, achieve accountability, redefine leadership, and much more. The Fearless Organization helps you bring about this most critical transformation.
