Book excerpt: "This is one of the most important Agile books since The Phoenix Project." —Charles Betz, Principle Analyst, Forrester Research It's no secret that we are living in the Digital Age. Technology companies make up seven of the world's ten largest firms by market capitalization. And the key to their success is the key to all modern organizations. Jonathan Smart, business agility practitioner, thought leader, and coach, reveals the patterns and antipatterns that will help organizations from every industry deliver better value sooner, safer, and happier through high levels of engagement, inclusion, and empowerment. Through his decades of experience in the technology world, Smart provides business leaders with a blueprint for creating a world-class organization of the future. Through Agile and Lean ways of working, business leaders can empower teams to improve production, grow together, and create better services for their customers. These better ways of working have overflowed from the IT department to every corner of successful organizations, taking root in every industry from aerospace to accounting, insurance to shipping. This book is not about software development. It is not a book about the computer industry. This book is about applying agility across the entire organization. It's a book that will put you at the front of change and ahead of the competition. "A true business-wide perspective on Digital Transformation and the need for whole business agility." —Adam Banks, Non Executive Director and Former CTIO of AP Moller Maersk **Note from the Authors: Purchases will result in the planting of trees and empowerment of women, in countries with the lowest scores on the IUCN's gender and environment index.

Book excerpt: Alpha Omega - MM Shifter Vampire Romance. Gay Paranormal Romance. Second Book in the Clan Series. Leon “They are going to sell me.” “No, I won’t let them.” I held Adrien’s cold hand to reassure him. “You can’t do anything, Leon,” Adrien’s eyes glistened with tears. He gazed at me with so much longing. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him against my chest. “I can and I will. I’ll hurt them,” I promised. “I’ll keep you safe.” Leon does not have time for love or relationship. He is the heir to the Markson Pack, the next alpha in line. Some already question if he deserves to be the pack’s alpha since he is not a Markson by blood. It does not help that his younger brother Kian bonded with one of the most ruthless vampires. He doesn’t trust Kian’s vampire mate, Yuri, but he has no choice but to welcome him into the pack with open arms for Kian’s sake. With all these added responsibilities, just when Leon decides to let loose for the night and play the death match with the most arrogant, relentless cat alive, he falls into a deeper hole than he could imagine. And in this darkest pit, the only mission he has left is to keep that cat safe as if his life depended on it. ....… Kian needs his pack. He is a wolf, after all. Yuri is a vampire. Living in a pack with a bunch of wolves is too much for Yuri’s ego. Kian loves Yuri and might agree to live with him away from his pack, but it would break him. And Yuri would rather tame his ego than break Kian’s heart. Keep Me Safe is the second book in the Clan series and must be read with the first book called Break Me Never. Similar to the first book in the series, it is written in first-person narrative and contains the POVs of multiple characters. Intended for Mature Readers only.

Book excerpt: In a new mystery featuring Texas minister Walker “Bear” Wells, a teen tragedy hits too close to home… The ominous text message Bear Wells received from his teenage daughter Jo simply said: “Come home.” The Texas minister never imagined he’d rush back to find her cradling the dead body of her estranged friend Phoebe. While the death rocks Sugar Land, the apparent suicide seems like an open-and-shut case. But nothing is settled in the Wells household, especially for Jo. The deeper she digs into Phoebe’s life, the more she realizes nobody knew her at all. Bear found it hard enough dealing with Phoebe’s skimpy Goth outfits, painful-looking piercings, and the outrageous scandals she brought to his idyllic Sugar Land congregation, but now it’s his daughter who’s acting out. Jo knows Phoebe caused major problems between her picture-perfect father and stepmom, but she has no idea what’s at stake or whose lives are in jeopardy. Bear’s painfully aware that his last private investigation resulted in a bullet wound, so when Jo sneaks out alone to confront her primary suspect, he’s not only praying that he’ll find her in time—he’s asking forgiveness for what he may have to do to save her.

Download or read book Government Responses to Crisis written by Stefanie Haeffele and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When crises occur, citizens, media and policymakers alike expect government to respond and to take a leading role in recovery. Given the scale and scope of crises, whether natural (such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes), manmade (such as conflict and economic downturns), or often a combination of the two, governments are often seen as being in the best position to identify the problems, understand the circumstances, and direct action. They are also likely to be the entities that have adequate resources to devote to such large-scale efforts. Yet, governments are not spared from the effects of crises. They are composed of individuals who are impacted by disasters and face many of the same challenges in identifying needs, prioritizing action, and adjusting to changing circumstances. It is by no surprise that governments are also often scrutinized during and after crises. How, then, do we understand the capability of and proper role for governments to respond to crisis and to drive recovery? This edited volume—comprised of chapters by accomplished scholars and seasoned practitioners in disaster and crises studies and management, spanning multiple disciplines including sociology, economics, and public administration—examines the roles, expectations, and capabilities of government responses to crises. It gives an overview of the literature, provides lessons learned from both research and experience on the ground during crises, and puts forth a framework for understanding crisis management and subsequent policy implications. It will be of use to any scholars, students, practitioners or policymakers interested in learning from and better preparing for crises and responding when they do occur.

Download or read book Shrinking Cities written by Russell Weaver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrinking Cities: Understanding Shrinkage and Decline in the United States offers a contemporary look at patterns of shrinkage and decline in the United States. The book juxtaposes the complex and numerous processes that contribute to these patterns with broader policy frameworks that have been under consideration to address shrinkage in U.S. cities. A range of methods are employed to answer theoretically-grounded questions about patterns of shrinkage and decline, the relationships between the two, and the empirical associations among shrinkage, decline, and several socio-economic variables. In doing so, the book examines new spaces of shrinkage in the United States. The book also explores pro-growth and decline-centered governance, which has important implications for questions of sustainability and resilience in U.S. cities. Finally, the book draws attention to U.S.-wide demographic shifts and argues for further research on socio-economic pathways of various groups of population, contextualized within population trends at various geographic scales. This timely contribution contends that an understanding of what the city has become, as it faces shrinkage, is essential toward a critical analysis of development both within and beyond city boundaries. The book will appeal to urban and regional studies scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
