Is free will deterministic, can you motivate an old dog to learn
new tricks and where does creativity flow from? The Ingenious
Engine of Reality is a voyage of discovery into the meaning and
application of consciousness. It starts by exploring recent
advances in neuroscience to ask why and how we do things. It
provides a cornucopia of useful links to management theory,
philosophy, science and more. We are living through a pivotal point
in human social evolution at which many stubborn and
counter-productive dogmas are being successfully challenged. These
include erroneous assumptions and beliefs about the brain and
consciousness. The Ingenious Engine of Reality highlights the work
and courage of amazing scientists and thinkers who have used the
tools of deep mathematics, rigorous science, tireless research and
often startlingly obvious psychology to defy the limitations of
these beliefs. They are discovering how we interpret reality to
learn and adapt. They explain how we sometimes avoid reality
altogether, making things harder for ourselves with our habits and
beliefs. You do not have to be a scientist, mathematician or
medical professional to understand the knowledge that is being
unlocked. It is knowledge that can transform daily life, work and
learning. Everything that every person does will benefit from
implementing its lessons. The Ingenious Engine of Reality explores
neuroscience, epigenetics, brain plasticity, creativity and human
nature. It presents philosophical and practical implications in an
accessible and entertaining way. It suggests how NLP, Agile and
similar approaches can make use of this knowledge - even in
something as practical as project management.
Agile is becoming a dirty word because of the way it is being
marketed, implemented, over-simplified and misrepresented. Step by
step guides and quick fix recipes are of limited use. It is better
to free yourself and your projects by learning how to connect the
underlying principles to what you want to achieve. Knowing what
projects need and why Agile works will help you understand where
and how to apply these principles and what to expect. This book
explains why Agile was introduced and how the underlying principles
and ideas are still relevant. It reviews Agile methods and advises
how to take a pragmatic approach to them as a programmer, a project
manager and a business stakeholder. If you want to know what Agile
really is and how to understand its capabilities - from someone who
has implemented and used Agile successfully as a programmer,
manager and coach in both small and very large companies - then
read this book.
How to find balance and satisfaction in life, work and play. Why
things like Agile, Lean, NLP, Systems Thinking and Theory of
Constraints are essential for effective project management.
The Lean Supply Chain: Managing the Challenge at Tesco explores how
UK multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer Tesco
addresses the challenge of managing its supply chains. The book
examines how Tesco has used lean thinking, loyalty and simplicity
to achieve its dominant position. It shows how Tesco's senior
leadership made a simple but game-changing decision to focus the
business on its customers rather than the conventional approach of
'competing with our competitors' and asks whether the approach to
managing the supply chain needs to be adapted to deal with current
challenges that Tesco faces. The authors look at how the retailer
developed and maintains one of the most effective supply chains in
the world. The Lean Supply Chain demonstrates Tesco's most
successful strategies through real life examples, drawing upon the
authors' deep knowledge of how Tesco has developed and succeeded
from both an academic and practitioner perspective. It includes an
assessment of how Tesco is dealing with current challenges and
market changes, including its successful rollout of online shopping
and convenience stores as well as how it is attempting to maintain
its position as the UK's largest retailer.
