Burns L: Implementing Strategy and
Change in Healthcare

Implementing Strategy and Change in Healthcare

The Fortuity Elements that Influence Accident Outcomes

The Safety Luck Factors

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity and concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be implemented in a project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.

Scam World is a big place, encompassing everything from investment fraud to everyday rip-offs. Setting out to discover its strange geography, Zeke Faux ('the funniest finance writer in America' - Matt Levine) takes notes at stadium-sized motivational conferences where paying audiences learn that the only way to reach your dreams is to sell, by any means necessary. He goes undercover, taking a job at a shady Florida call-centre operation fueled by social media ads that 'go out and find the morons for me'.Crossing the globe from India to Dubai to Thailand's Golden Triangle, where gangsters have built an entire city of scams, he explores the psychology of the con artist. What drives someone to choose a life of ripping other people off? And what makes us fall for them? (As one victim of a $100,000 fraud tells him, 'Once my scammer told me how I could make 30% overnight, working for $20 an hour seemed like the real scam.')From Mar-a-Lago to White House, from Wall Street to your street, this is the story of how the 'sell or be sold' mindset went from being a sign of sociopathy to a marker of success.

In a world that worships disruption, the most revolutionary thing you can do is hold steady. For more than a decade, Whitney Johnson preached the gospel of disruption. She co-founded the Disruptive Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen. Disruption is in her company's name. But over time, a pattern emerged: The leaders and organizations coming to her didn't need more disruption. They needed stability, the very thing our culture has trained us to overlook. Drawing on original research with over 300 professionals across industries, Johnson reveals a striking finding: 96 percent of employees want more stability or a balanced approach to change, yet they experience disruption at nearly twice the rate their managers perceive. The result? Burnout, turnover, and organizations that exhaust themselves with motion that never becomes progress. Meanwhile, research shows companies with stable foundations deliver 80 percent higher shareholder returns over a decade than their peers. Johnson's Steady will show you how to build stability within organizations, how to identify and champion the people doing the invisible work of holding things together, and how to cultivate the inner steadiness that lets you be a grounding force for others. For leaders who have leaned into disruption and found themselves exhausted, for those who sense the relentless churn isn't working, Steady offers a framework for something different. And for those who have been doing the stabilizing work all along, this book is a declaration: Your work matters. It has always mattered.

Stop circling the drain with traditional business books and prepare for a deep dive into the sub-aquatic depths of corporate absurdity. This book is the definitive manifesto for the 360-degree, marcomms visioneer who isn't afraid to "think" outside the vertical cycle. From dredging the ocean of emotion for granular data to navigating the perilous gap analysis of the brandscape (otherwise known as shopping for clothes), this book skewers the pretentious nonsense of management consultants and "media johnnies" alike. It is a relentless search for integrated, implementationable insight solutions that meet customer needs you haven't even bothered to identify yet.Beyond the biting wit and "Total Con" approach to communication, this book serves a serious purpose: it is a post-mortem for a marketing world that has been pronounced "dead" so many times its corpse is restless for change. By disposing of sacred cows and dismantling the clichés that have infected our boardrooms, it seeks to rescue the English language from the clutches of those who value "impactful consumer mindshare" over actual meaning.
