Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive leadership is a topic generating intense interest. Companies all over the world are trying to upend their industry through innovative products and services. Becoming a disruptive organization however is easier said than done. Even more difficult is being a company that continually disrupts. Is it possible to discern a code for how companies can achieve this? In this highly readable and engaging book a disruptive leadership framework is proposed in which caring deeply is placed at the center of the model. By turning care into a focal point a triphasic model is proposed that moves from the personal sphere (individual) to the corporate arena (organizational) and then to the global stage (impact). Nine keys are identified along this path for how companies can realize organizational excellence. While care may seem like a soft concept in the rough and tumble world of business it is argued how it is actually an inspired manner for providing direction structure and know-how that leads to powerful outcomes. Apple is profiled as a leading example of leveraging what is termed the technology of caring deeply. Other companies such as Nike IKEA Zappos Starbucks are also profiled. Finally a leadership canvas is provided to help activate the lessons shared in the book. | Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Global Lean for Higher Education A Themed Anthology of Case Studies Approaches and Tools

Global Lean for Higher Education A Themed Anthology of Case Studies Approaches and Tools

Higher education (HE) is amongst the hardest sectors in which to apply lean. Universities resist change their organizational cultures being far from the manufacturing environment where lean was born. The way HE organizations are structured funded and function globally is idiosyncratic; one size is unlikely to fit all. However the sector is also dynamic and a mature understanding of lean as a philosophy led by principles suggests there are many ways HE could grow through lean. This collection of work reflects the state-of-the-art in the global practical application of lean for higher education. It aims to demonstrate the diverse applications of lean in universities inspiring others to deeply engage with lean thinking in their own unique context and to drive successful sustainable lean work. Contributors are both well-known experts in lean HE and up-and-coming practitioners. Authors live globally in countries such as Australia Canada Malaysia Poland the UK and the USA. They represent higher education environments from applied teaching institutions to research-focused universities from 50 years old to more than 800 years old. The collection focuses on lean applied across universities as a whole often addressing the administrative support or professional services side of how these institutions work. The application of lean is not limited purely to the administration of such organizations but is applied to the primary purpose of universities: teaching and research. This volume is not focused on lean theory. Instead it discusses how HE institutions have taken lean forward and the lessons learned that others can share and learn from. It is composed of six sections: Starting out People Projects Technology Sustaining Lean and Culture. The rich and wide perspectives in this book will enable the reader to understand the many ways that lean thinking is applied in higher education globally. More importantly this book will help the reader better understand and apply lean in the context of their own work. | Global Lean for Higher Education A Themed Anthology of Case Studies Approaches and Tools

The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

In this book author Sadao Nomura taps into his decades of experience leading and advising Toyota operations in a wide variety of operations to tell the story of radical improvement at Toyota Logistics & Forklift (TL&F). This book tells in great detail what the author did with TL&F how they did it and the dramatic results that ensued. TL&F has long been a global leader in its industry. TL&F is part of Toyota Industries Corporation which was founded by Toyota Group founder Sakichi Toyoda almost 100 years ago. Sakichi Toyoda is legendary in the Lean community as the originator of the all-important JIDOKA pillar of TPS which ensures 1) built-in quality and 2) respect for people through ensuring that technology works for people rather than the other way around. Although TL&F seemed to be performing well insiders knew that as the founding company of the Toyota group it needed to do better especially in the quality performance of its global subsidiary operations. But improvement would not be easy in a company that already prided itself in its history as an exemplar in providing highest quality products and services. In 2006 TL&F requested assistance from Sadao Nomura. The initial request was for Mr. Nomura to support quality improvement in three global operations that had become part of TL&F through acquisition: US Sweden and France. Improvement was expected at these affiliates but the dramatic nature of the improvement was not. Further the improvement activities were so powerful that they were also instituted at the parent operations in Japan. Over a period of almost ten years the company with the name most associated with product quality experienced quality improvement unparalleled in its history. Dantotsu means extreme radical or unparalleled. | The Toyota Way of Dantotsu Radical Quality Improvement

Productivity Improvement in Manufacturing SMEs Application of Work Study

This book focuses on the application of workstudy in productivity of manufacturing SMEs locally and abroad and also explores various industrial problems which face manufacturing SMEs in developing and underdeveloped countries in the rest of the world. Low productivity is currently a serious challenge facing manufacturing SMEs where these SMEs are operating below expected production output levels which makes it difficult for them to compete in the global market. SMEs are the engine drivers of economic growth one of which is manufacturing. The challenge is that government from various countries in developing and underdeveloped countries mandated agencies in their respective areas to ensure that there is economic progress for these SMEs but productivity remains low in the manufacturing SMEs. When SMEs do not perform well productivity of manufacturing SMEs declines and unemployment increases. Thus an increase in unemployment results in a drop of GDP in the country and can become a global and economic crisis. This book describes a process which enables the reader to use effective knowledge that addresses problems facing the productivity of manufacturing SMEs such as work study tools and case studies and provides solutions and applications to improve the running of the manufacturing SMEs in growing their productivity. | Productivity Improvement in Manufacturing SMEs Application of Work Study

Digital Transformation A Strategic Structure for Implementation

Digital Transformation A Strategic Structure for Implementation

With the advent of digital technologies society is reshaping itself radically. In the last decade digital technologies have brought fundamental changes in the industry and business environment. The holistic socioeconomic and industrial changes are a result of general-purpose technology aspects of digital transformation which are rare and have inherent capabilities of self-transformation to bring long-term benefits across the entire global business environment. After the steam engine electric generator and printing press the recent development of digital transformation has created an opportunity with extensive sustainable and incremental influence for disruption and renovation. However the most important difference between digital transformation and the previous general-purpose technologies such as steam engines and electric generators is the pace of technology’s penetration across the globe. To cope with the accelerated speed of global digitization the digital transformation process should be accepted adopted and adapted across society and business utilizing a multi-dimensional strategy. This book illustrates a strategic structure that covers Digital Challenges for Industries Applicability for Digital Transformation Digital Transformation Framework People and Organization Structure Capability Delivery Activities and Life Cycle Benefits. How will businesses embrace digital transformation? How will organizations formulate a digital transformation strategy? How will they invest in digital technologies? To answer these questions a strategic structure is created which can provide guidelines to businesses to create a framework for digital transformation that includes strategy process governance and funding. The exponential growth in data capacity (storage process and communication) due to rapid digitalization has created infinite opportunities and different dimensions to businesses. Digital platforms have enabled alternative business models by deconstructing the traditional value chains. Agile concepts driven by design thinking have brought innovative perspectives with an environment of boundless disruption. To run a company with sustainability and manage disruptions more consciously the adoption of a digital platform with an appropriate strategy is the only viable option. Digital transformation (DX) goals and strategies should be in line with a company’s business objectives. The strategic structure explained in the book is a global framework that can be adopted by any profit or nonprofit organization. Like any other transformational process digital transformation has created structural tension between old and new. In this tension employees play a large role and their clarity of thought regarding the transformation process is of paramount interest. To overcome this tension companies need to orient as learning organizations which will provide opportunities for growth in an ambidextrous environment embraced with a digital ecosystem. The book explains how the structural tension between old and new can be mitigated by effectively involving all stakeholders in the transformation process. | Digital Transformation A Strategic Structure for Implementation

Leading Transformations Using the LEGO Way of Change to Drive Transformations Effectively and Successfully

The world and its business environments are in a state of constant change. The reality today is that organizations and their leaders are faced with increasingly daunting demands for change and unless they build organizations that can keep pace with these fast-changing environments it will be a challenge simply to survive while at the same time continuing to thrive and embrace uncertainty and disorder. One effective example of a world-renowned company that survived an existential crisis to become one of the most iconic companies in the world: The LEGO Group. In Building a Global Learning Organization (CRC Press 2014) the authors showed how to develop and implement a global structure for learning based on the TWI (Training Within Industry) methods.

Great organizations have used that book as a benchmark for global and national rollouts of TWI programs and standard work initiatives. In this book you get inspiration on how the LEGO Group met these challenges by developing and implementing a framework for transformations to create a common approach to designing leading and anchoring change in an effective and impactful way. You get insights into the journey which began by designing the LEGO Way of Change the process of testing the approach in a bigger transformation which based on pilot learnings was implemented in transformational initiatives.

Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare

Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare

Nathan Tierney’s powerful storytelling is rarely seen in today’s health care business environment. We must redesign the health care delivery system-a team sport in service of patients hold it accountable with measurement to improve outcomes and quantify the resource costs over the full cycle of care. Value-based health care is a framework through which these goals are achieved and Tierney provides a detailed playbook to get your organization there. Outlined in incredible detail and clarity he presents core concepts and dives into the key metrics needed to build maintain and scale a successful value-based health care organization. Nathan shares a realistic vision of what any CEO should expect when developing their own Value Management Office. Nothing is more important to me than improving the lives of those I love. My personal mission is to create systemic change with an impact on the global stage. This playbook needs to be on the desk of every executive clinician and patient today. -Mahek Shah MD Senior Researcher and Senior Project Leader Harvard Business SchoolOur current healthcare system’s broken. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) predicts health care costs could increase from 6% to 14% of GDP by 2060. The cause of this increase is due to (1) a global aging population (2) growing affluence (3) rise in chronic diseases and (4) better-informed patients; all of which raises the demand for healthcare. In 2006 Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg authored the book ‘Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results. ’ In it they present their analysis of the root causes plaguing the health care industry and make the case for why providers suppliers consumers and employers should move towards a patient-centric approach that optimizes value for patients. According to Porter value for patients should be the overarching principle for our broken system. Since 2006 Professor Porter accompanied by his esteemed Harvard colleague Profesor Robert Kaplan have worked tirelessly to promote this new approach and pilot it with leading healthcare delivery organizations like Cleveland Clinic Mayo Clinic MD Anderson and U. S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Given the current state of global healthcare there is urgency to achieve widespread adoption of this new approach. The intent of this book is to equip all healthcare delivery organizations with a guide for putting the value-based concept into practice. This book defines the practice of value-based health care as Value Management. The book explores Profesor Porter’s Value Equation (Value = Outcomes/ Cost) which is central to Value Management and provides a step-by-step process for how to calculate the components of this equation. On the outcomes side the book presents the Value Realization Framework which translates organizational mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures and contextualizes the measures for healthcare delivery. The Value Realization Framework is based on Professor Kaplan's ground-breaking Balanced Scorecard approach but specific to healthcare organizations. On the costs side the book details the Harvard endorsed time-driven activity based costing (TDABC) methodology which has proven to be a modern catalyst for defining HDO costs. Finally this book covers the need and a plan to establish a Value Management Office to lead the delivery transformation and govern operations. This book is designed in a format where any organization can read it and acquire the fundamentals and methodologies of Value Management. It is intended for healthcare delivery organizations in need of learning the specifics of achieving the implementation of value-based healthcare. | Value Management in Healthcare How to Establish a Value Management Office to Support Value-Based Outcomes in Healthcare

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

There is no end in sight to the frequency with which physicians nursing professionals and other healthcare providers will become lawsuit targets in our litigious society. While politicians practitioners insurance companies and trial attorneys debate the nation’s chronic malpractice crisis suits continue to be filed. In addition once COVID-19 is behind us and the unprecedented public support for health care providers wanes as it will it is anticipated that physicians and nurses will become malpractice defendants to a remarkable degree. National legislative fact-finding committees and investigative bodies which may be charged with the responsibility of pursuing a solution likely will never achieve a global remedy. Although curtailed by some states national legislation has not addressed baseless malpractice suites or grossly excessive monetary verdicts. Another approach exists however. Health care providers can impact the existing system and influence the malpractice environments in a tangible positive and powerful fashion. Although there will be debate over tort reform in order to bring some degree of protection to the malpractice defendant individual case success defined from the defendant’s perspective as a no-cause trial verdict can be realized if well-credentialed and experienced health care professionals are willing to assist the malpractice defense bar as expert witnesses. The benefits to the health care community and the individuals who are willing to participate are innumerable and worth considering. | Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert
