Turn team members into innovators Most organizations approach
innovation as if it were a sideline activity. Every so often
employees are sent to "Brainstorm Island": an off-site replete with
trendy lectures, creative workshops, and overenthusiastic
facilitators. But once they return, it's back to business as usual.
Innovation experts Paddy Miller and Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg
suggest a better approach. They recommend that leaders at all
levels become "innovation architects," creating an ecosystem in
which people engage in key innovation behaviors as part of their
daily work. In short, this book is about getting to a state of
"innovation as usual," where regular employees--in jobs like
finance, marketing, sales, or operations--make innovation happen in
a way that's both systemic and sustainable. Instead of organizing
brainstorming sessions, idea jams, and off-sites that rarely result
in success, leaders should guide their people in what the authors
call the "5 + 1 keystone behaviors" of innovation: focus, connect,
tweak, select, stealthstorm, (and the + 1) persist: * Focus beats
freedom: Direct people to look only for ideas that matter to the
business * Insight comes from the outside: Urge people to connect
to new worlds * First ideas are flawed: Challenge people to tweak
and reframe their initial ideas * Most ideas are bad ideas: Guide
people to select the best ideas and discard the rest *
Stealthstorming rules: Help people navigate the politics of
innovation * Creativity is a choice: Motivate everyone to persist
in the five keystone behaviors Using examples from a wide range of
companies such as Pfizer, Index Ventures, Lonza, Go Travel,
Prehype, DSM, and others, Innovation as Usual lights the way toward
embedding creativity in the DNA of the workplace. So cancel that
off-site. Instead, read Innovation as Usual--and put innovation at
the core of your business.
Many of our interactions in the twenty-first century - both good
and bad - take place by means of institutions, technology, and
artefacts. We inhabit a world of implements, instruments, devices,
systems, gadgets, and infrastructures. Technology is not only
something that we make, but is also something that in many ways
makes us. The discipline of ethics must take this constitutive
feature of institutions and technology into account; thus, ethics
must in turn be embedded in our institutions and technology. The
contributors to this book argue that the methodology of 'designing
in ethics' - addressing and resolving the issues raised by
technology through the use of appropriate technological design - is
the way to achieve this integration. They apply their original
methodology to a wide range of institutions and technologies, using
case studies from the fields of healthcare, media and security.
Their volume will be important for philosophical practitioners and
theorists alike.

When it was first published in 1989, Susan Miller's "Rescuing the
Subject: A Critical Introduction to Rhetoric and the Writer
"established a landmark pedagogical approach to composition based
on the importance of the writer and the act of writing in the
history of rhetoric. Widely used as an introduction to rhetoric and
composition theory for graduate students, the volume was the first
winner of the W. Ross Winterowd Award from "JAC "and is still one
of the most frequently cited books in the field.
This first paperback edition includes a new introductory chapter in
which Miller addresses changes in the field since the first
edition, outlines new research, and surveys positions she no longer
supports. A new foreword by Thomas P. Miller assesses the proven
impact of "Rescuing the Subject "on the field of rhetoric and
composition.
Situating modern composition theory in the historical context of
rhetoric, Miller notes that throughout the eighteenth century,
rhetoric referred to oral, not written, discourse. By contrast, her
history of rhetoric contends oral and written discourse were
related from the beginning. Taking a thematic rather than
chronological approach, she shows how actual acts of writing
comment on both rhetoric and composition.
Miller also asserts that contemporary composition study is the
necessary cultural outcome of changing conditions for producing
discourse, describing the history of rhetoric as the gradual and
unstable relocation of discourse in conventions that only written
language can create. She maintains teachers and historians of
rhetoric must recognize that the contemporary writing they analyze
and teach demands their attention to a"textual rhetoric" that
allows theorizing the writer as always symbolically a student of
situated meanings.
Scot Armstrong co-writes and directs this comedy starring T.J.
Miller, Adam Pally and Thomas Middleditch. When a mix-up sees Nardo
(Middleditch) left at the altar on his wedding day, it's just the
beginning of a series of unfortunate events which lead to him being
stranded in the Mexican desert. With his situation getting worse by
the minute, Nardo's best friends Jason (Miller) and Evan (Pally)
set off to save him...
