Project Management FOR Dummies

Projects have been around since ancient times. Noah building the ark, Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa, Edward Gibbon writing The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Jonas Salk developing the polio vaccine — all projects. And, as you know, these were all masterful successes. (Well, the products were a spectacular success, even if schedules and resource budgets were drastically overr…

SHAREPOINT® SERVER 2010 ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT

This chapter identified SharePoint 2010 as an extremely flexible solution platform that is capable of replacing several legacy document management systems. However, before that can happen, careful planning should take place to ensure that the end user experience is improved, not degraded. Also, the path for migrating content from a legacy solution to SharePoint 2010 should be identified beca…

RETHINKING SOVEREIGN DEBT 

Sovereign debt markets have demonstrated incredible resil- ience despite a century of dramatic political and economic up- heaval. Among the most remarkable aspects of the contemporary debt regime is the degree to which expectations of borrowers remain rela- tively uniform even in the face of such major shifts. These basic expecta- tions resolve into one background rule: sovereign borrowers mus…

Mathematical Modelling of Zombies

In 2009, I published an article I thought would amuse me and no one else: a mathematical model of zombies. The idea was to examine a hypothetical zombie apocalypse through the lens of disease modelling: that is, using the same types of differential equations I use every day to examine the spread of infections such as HIV, malaria, human papillomavirus and a variety of tropical diseases. What …

The 3 pillars of personal effectiveness

There are a lot of personal productivity and self help methods out there but where do they all fit in and which one should I choose? I have found that none of these techniques cover all aspects of becoming an effective person and I think there is a good reason for that. Personal effectiveness is a huge topic and requires a variety of skills. In this mini book I will step back and introduce the…

Management

What does a well-run company look like? You might say that it is popular or that its sales are high, but these can be fleeting things. You could say that it has a famous brand or a prominent leader, but familiar brands and well-publicized leaders can fall from grace. You can say that a well-managed company makes a big profit, but most busi- ness experts agree that a better measure of success is…

Planning with Complexity

The book you have in your hand culminates a journey that began over forty years ago (though time may show it is merely a way station). The journey mirrors developments in planning and policy making during that time – the effort to integrate theory and practice, the search for more effective ways to conduct policy, and the growing role of collaboration. This journey began in 1967 when author I…

Managing Risk and Opportunity

Our ways met in early 2010 when the World Bank Group through the IFC Corporate Governance Unit decided to embark on a training program on risk governance for board members and senior managers with the aim of promoting good risk management practices linking corporate risk-taking with strategic decision-making. In preparing this work, we combined complementary insights from the corporate governan…

Dissent on Core Beliefs

Difference, diversity, and disagreement are inevitable features of our ethical, social, and political landscape. Although difference of opinion is not a modern phenomenon, the modern world is particularly concerned with the ethical navigation of difference. What is the range of appropriate responses to deep disagreement? How should we interact with those with whom we do not see eye to eye? When…

Deconstructing Dignity

About a “right to die” there is obviously not yet any legal, political, or ethical consensus. But has the very question of such a right been formulated clearly? Despite a long philosophic tradition addressing the question of suicide itself and, more recently, a half-century of legal decisions, a growing library of scholarly studies across multiple disciplines, and a steady out- pouring of p…

HIGH-IMPACT HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY

This new book focuses directly on how to develop a human capital (HC) strategy in today’s turbulent and changing environment . Too often, HC strategy encompasses a classic and traditional approach to human resources (HR): recruit- ing the best people, preparing them for assignments, motivating them for high performance, and retaining them for several years . While this is all necessary, it is…
