Lean Empowerment and Respect for People
There are two pillars of a Lean Management System: Continuous Improvement and Respect for People. Most books about Lean Production have focused overwhelmingly on Continuous Improvement and fail to treat Respect for People as an equal pillar. It is overlooked or understated, resulting not in a Lean house, but in a lean-to structure. It is our responsibility to level out the structure once again. The study of people is messy and exciting. It demands that we explore multiple interdisciplinary studies, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, and even theology. This book runs a parallel course with Lean Production but has a different goal. Instead of production, efficiency, and financial gai...
You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake!
'A masterful introduction to the state of the art in managerial decision-making. Surprisingly, it is also a pleasure to read' – Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow A lively, research-based tour of nine common decision-making traps – and practical tools for avoiding them – from a professor of strategic thinking We make decisions all the time. It's so natural that we hardly stop to think about it. Yet even the smartest and most experienced among us make frequent and predictable errors. So, what makes a good decision? Should we trust our intuitions, and if so, when? How can we avoid being tripped up by cognitive biases when we are not even aware of them? You're About to Make a Terrible Mistake! offers clear and practical advice that distils the latest developments in behavioural economics and cognitive psychology into actionable tools for making clever, effective decisions in business and beyond.
Bending the Law of Unintended Consequences
This title provides managers, executives and other professionals with an innovative method for critical decision-making. The book explains the reasons for decision failures using the Law of Unintended Consequences. This account draws on the work of sociologist Robert K. Merton, psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, and economist Herbert Simon to identify two primary causes: cognitive biases and bounded rationality. It introduces an innovative method for “test driving” decisions that addresses both causes by combining scenario planning and “what-if” simulations. This method enables professionals to learn safely from virtual mistakes rather than real ones. It also provides four sample test drives of realistic critical decisions as well as two instructional videos to illustrate this new method. This book provides leaders and their support teams with important new tools for analyzing and refining complex decisions that are critical to organizational well-being and survival.
Enterprise Architecture in the Digital World
How do companies achieve the transformation into an agile, innovative, digital business and work environment? This question concerns not only IT managers but also strategic players, the enterprise architects. They must bridge the gap between strategic planning and dealing with increasing speed and growing uncertainty. Holistic enterprise development in the digital future means developing digital ecosystems and complex IT landscapes. This book presents methods and concepts from the agile world, semiotics, and neuropsychology that can help enterprise architects in their practical everyday work. Starting from a positive view of humanity, it is possible to harness the potential of individuals and teams for digital transformation with fundamental knowledge. The book is primarily aimed at IT managers, enterprise architects, and managers involved in large-scale software development processes. Many practical examples illustrate the theoretically presented connections and provide broader access to enterprise architecture management.
Left Brain, Right Stuff
Left Brain, Right Stuff takes up where other books about decision making leave off. For many routine choices, from shopping to investing, we can make good decisions simply by avoiding common errors, such as searching only for confirming information or avoiding the hindsight bias. But as Phil Rosenzweig shows, for many of the most important, more complex situations we face -- in business, sports, politics, and more -- a different way of thinking is required. Leaders must possess the ability to shape opinions, inspire followers, manage risk, and outmaneuver and outperform rivals. Making winning decisions calls for a combination of skills: clear analysis and calculation -- left brain -- as well...

Summary of Noise
Summary of Noise Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment is the latest book by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein published in May 2021. The authors discussed in detail the difference between bias and noise, the different types of biases and noise, how they both contribute to error, and strategies that organizations can take in reducing or eliminating them. With particular reference to noise which is the major theme/topic of the book, the authors also discussed what is called system noise. This system noise which is the unwanted variability in judgment is comprised of three components names level, pattern, and occasion noise. The book also discussed some objections people or organizations might have towards implementing noise-reduction strategies which they referred to as decision hygiene. It also covers the place of machine learning algorithms and/or artificial intelligence in reducing noise, and how they too are not free from noise or bias.

The Patient Priority: Solve Health Care's Value Crisis by Measuring and Delivering Outcomes That Matter to Patients
From the thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group come lessons on how leading health systems around the world are delivering patient-centered, value-based care by focusing on the health outcomes that matter to patients. To address the growing crises confronting the global health sector, health systems need to deliver better health outcomes to patients for the money spent, an approach known as value-based health care. Contrary to traditional approaches to health-systems reform that emphasize cost containment, value-based health care shifts the focus to continuous improvement in the outcomes delivered to patients. Systematically measuring, tracking, and improving health outcomes over time ca...
