Book Description
From the author: This 3rd edition is about organized common sense in the fire service. Section One provides support to fire departments that already have a strategic plan and just need to update and revise their existing plan. I have found over my 30 years of consulting with fire department’s that they want to accomplish their next iteration of their strategic plan as rapidly as possible. Section Two provides a detailed “How-to” guide to help a fire department create its first strategic plan. Section Two is divided into four parts: (1) Understanding the Department, (2) Understanding the Situation, (3) Understanding the Strategic Issues Facing the Department, and (4) Creating Organizational Change. A new chapter (Chapter 20) provides assistance to those departments having challenges with their strategic plan and obtaining the desired outcomes/results. It adds a new troubleshooting process for those departments having challenges to create an effective and successful strategic plan. The book is designed to be effective as a manual to develop an individual fire department’s strategic plan as well as a textbook for use in upper division college/university courses or as a text for post-graduate courses.

Book Description
An Instant New York Times Bestseller “This book will change your sense of how grand the sweep of human history could be, where you fit into it, and how much you could do to change it for the better. It's as simple, and as ambitious, as that.” —Ezra Klein An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism” — that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time. The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more — or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. If we make wise choices today, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope and beauty.

Book Description
Making Sense of the Future integrates the latest thinking in Future Studies with the author’s expertise in world history, economics, interdisciplinary studies, knowledge organization, and political activism. The book takes a systems approach that recognizes the complexity of our world. It begins by suggesting a set of goals for human societies and identifying innovative strategies for achieving these goals that could gain broad support. Each chapter begins with a “How to” section that discusses how we can identify goals, strategies, trends, surprises, or implementation strategies and concludes with an integrative analysis that draws connections across the preceding discussions. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, Szostak explores key trends and how these interact so that he can develop strategies to guide trends towards desirable futures. He discusses the ways in which we can best prepare for surprises such as epidemics and natural disasters, enabling us to react to them in beneficial ways. Supported by a list of guiding questions and suggestions for class projects, this is an accessible textbook for students of Future Studies and Future Studies courses.

Book Description
Beyond Budgeting is an idea that has been around for nearly two decades, and many members of the community have written books about the concepts and how to put them into practice. It has become clear, however, that companies attracted to these ideas have sometimes struggled to implement Beyond Budgeting, often because they have not understood the subtlety or the full implications of the ideas and how to execute change. In addition, those of us leading the Beyond Budgeting movement want to have the biggest impact on the world that we possibly can. And to do this we need to find a way to help as many people as possible to join us in putting these ideas into practice, without investing as much time and effort as we have getting to grips with them. The Viable Map is based on an idea that we have worked with for a number of years that helps people to describe their current management model in terms that made it easy for them to see what they needed to do to bring it into line with Beyond Budgeting principles. The original ideas have been improved and extended to create a methodology that helps managers and leaders to better understand Beyond Budgeting at a practical level, to describe their existing model, diagnose what is wrong with it and design a better one. The key idea in the book is that an organisation’s management model must be coherent, in other words be a good ‘fit’ both the nature of the environment in which it operates and the qualities of its people. Thus, its management processes (as defined by the Beyond Budgeting process principles) must be more adaptive when the environment is unpredictable and have a more devolved culture (as defined by the Beyond Budgeting leadership principles). The map itself is a simple grid upon which people can plot their Management Model and the book provides detailed guidance on how to do with with reference to typical practices and methods and how to help ensure coherence, in principle and in practice. It also describes typical ‘patterns’ to look out for, good and bad, and some real-life examples. In summary it will help people translate interest in Beyond Budgeting ideas into practical action and provides a methodology to help guide and coach companies through the transition.
