Pages : 237
Book Description
First published in 1981, this was the first book ever to be written explicitly for the right side of the reader’s brain. Much has been made of the research conducted into the left side of the brain – home to language and logic. The right side works in images, whole patterns and undefined feelings – none of which can be verbalized. This more elusive thinking often functions as what is loosely called ‘intuition’. In Atlas, de Bono shows us how to use the right side. It is an atlas because it is a visual reference of images and illustrations that point the reader in the right direction (literally). For anyone who has ever been told to trust their instinct, or who is concerned with management and decision-making, this book is a de Bono classic.

The Compleat Biz
Author: Rob Wherrett
Publisher: Reroq Publishing
ISBN: 095613050X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This far-sighted book shows how, in the 21st Century, we can develop a model for the organisation that is built on a philosophy that considers people and sustainability but above all else answers the question "Why are we in business?" It is intended to help all those who seek to make their organisations rewarding places to work and at the same time be responsive to the world around them and the people involved. This really is a different way of looking at what we do and why we do it. Not from the standpoint of right or wrong but from understanding the overall consequences of our strategies and their execution. It explodes several myths that plague management, including the idea that never-ending growth is an essential for success. Importantly, the writing looks forward and provides us with models that are very much in tune with the changing world and the need to re-assess how we operate on planet earth. It contains a serious message delivered in an engaging way, with humour and insight, drawing on real-life situations and experience. An intriguing approach to the complex problems that we call business.

Strategic Decision Making in Modern Manufacturing
Author: Harinder Singh Jagdev
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461503655
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Strategic Decision Making in Modern Manufacturing introduces and explains the AMBIT (Advanced Manufacturing Business ImplemenTation) approach, which has been developed to bridge the gap between strategic management considerations and the operational effects of technology investment decisions on the manufacturing organisation, so that the likely impact of new manufacturing technology and/or programme implementations can be evaluated, anticipated and accurately predicted. The AMBIT approach focuses specifically on the non-financial aspects of such investment decisions and offers an approach that allows a manager, or more frequently a management team, to understand the impacts of a new technology or a new programme on the manufacturing organisation in terms of manufacturing performance.

The Unknown Genius Creative Abilities of Leonardo Da Vinci
Author: Dr. Rudy A. Magnan
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984586211
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This publication was written in the belief that Leonardo's study of his natural surroundings, his advanced perceptual skills and his continued interest in learning, all played a significant role in developing his creativity. He challenged established mindsets with the conviction that all earthly things are connected. He spent years observing nature's secrets ,documenting his observations and the creative thinking that resulted. While much has been written about Leonardo's incredible scientific discoveries, his futuristic inventions and his great works of art, we fail to realize that Leonardo da Vinci developed incredible creative thinking that needs to be understood and applied in this new creative paradigm where creative ideas are the currency of the future.

The Berkana Community of Conversations
Author: Marilyn Hamilton
Publisher: Universal-Publishers
ISBN: 1581123302
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This research used the online experiment, the Berkana Community of Conversations (BCC), as a case study to explore learning and leadership in a self-organizing online microworld (an internet small world with rules of engagement simulating complex adaptive organization(s)). Based on theories of learning (Papert, 1996), biology of consciousness (Maturana and Varela, 1992), and integral models (Wilber, 1996), an integral methodological design, analyzed languaging and relationships as key data sources. Leadership was mapped as a continuum of behaviors that created effective processes for meaning making, action/direction and accomplishment. Meaning making was tracked in: four directions; three types of connections (exploratory, transformative and linking) and six plus levels. Self-organizing leaders: 1) initiated patterns; 2) developed patterns; and 3) created connections. The same mapping revealed the ontogeny of community learning within organization(s). System-wide order emerged through learning, tracked on four quadrant developmental scales: intentional, behavioral, cultural and social (Wilber, 1996). The microworld demonstrated: connections create meanings (patterns), create relationships, create identity. As a self-organizing microworld, BCC survived seven months; structurally coupled with its environment; and replicated itself within and outside experiment boundaries. Such a microworld can realistically replicate action-based learning situations where leaders learn new ways of leading and organizing.
