My dear, The news that a new paper-based device called a Flipback (its a so-called analog book) might topple the Kindle from its stranglehold at the pinnacle of digital nonsense is less comforting than you might expect. For a start, it has to be printed on rice paper and its designed to be read with one hand. We have e-books and pdfs and Kindle editions and proper books printed on proper paper and some wise authors and some very engaged readers and whatever you do with this catalog(ue) whether you have the analog(ue) or the digilog(ue) please use two hands and do be careful out there.

Systems Thinking and Design Thinking 1/5

The skills, tools and techniques of Systems Thinking explained in laymans terms

GROWING WINGS ON THE WAY

Systems Thinking for Messy Situations
Rosalind aRmson
Rosalind was, until April 2011, Senior Lecturer in Systems at the Open University, UK. A consultant and teacher, she has extensive experience of using systems ideas to support individuals and organisations facing complex/uncertain situations.
2011, 338pp, paperback, 978-1-908009-36-4 25.00 (19.50 at triarchypress.com)

This book is about dealing with messes. Sometimes known as wicked problems, messes (or messy situations) are easy to spot: we dont know where to start; we cant define them; everything connects to everything else; we get in a muddle thinking about them; we often try to ignore some aspect/s of them; when we do something, they usually get worse; trying to fix them like a simple problem never works. Examples of messes include: the healthcare system in your country...dealing with a family break-up... exploring change and making it happen in your organisation...worrying about how to look after your elderly parents.

SyStemS thinking ~ DiagramS ~ SyStemS mapS ~ rich pictureS ~ roSalinD armSon

Systems Thinking offers a range of good ways to approach these situations and unravel them and this book explains those skills and techniques that can be brought to bear. They include: Escaping Mental Traps (History Traps, Habit Traps, Double Binds,Value Rigidity and Action Traps) ~ Working with System Definitions ~ Diagnosing with Multiple-Cause Diagrams ~ Drawing Rich Pictures ~ Drawing and using Influence Diagrams ~ Understanding messes with Systems Maps ~ Building Human-Activity System Diagrams ~ The 5Es (Effectiveness, Efficacy, Efficiency, Elegance, Ethicality) ~ Viewing messes through an Understandascope.

Whether youre new to Systems Thinking or have long experience, the book invites you to develop your skills through working with your own messy situations. Its written for managers, project managers, team leaders, change leaders, strategists, policy makers and concerned citizens as well as university students from a broad set of disciplines.

The best-selling analysis of why public services in the UK and around the world so often dont work and how to fix the mess.

SYSTEMS THINKING IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

JoHn sEddon
John Seddon is MD of Vanguard Ltd organisational change consultants and visiting professor at the Lean Enterprise Research Centre, University of Cardiff.
2008, 224pp., paperback, 978-0-9550081-8-4, 20.00 (18.00 at triarchypress.com)

This is the book that made a laughing stock of the UK Audit Commission, famously ridiculed the culture of targets and deliverology that for years has characterised public services in England and set in train the conversion of the public sector to systems thinking. The reviews say it all: The argument compellingly made in this book by John Seddon is that the Government has designed failure into almost everything it does on our behalf. It has not done so deliberately; but it is culpable because it has failed to listen to people who know better how to run services on behalf of the customer rather than the producer. Philip Johnston, Daily Telegraph One of the strengths of Seddons diagnosis is that, as a consultant, he has seen almost every public service from the inside. From trading standards to planning and housing repairs, all exhibit the same dysfunction, being forced to conform to a work design that starts from the wrong end the requirements of government rather than those of the citizen. Simon Caulkin, The Observer

John SeDDon ~ SyStemS thinking ~ public Sector reform

This book provides the public sector with the means to deliver higher levels of public value and the opportunity to be seen to be doing so in a robust way with measurable results, high customer satisfaction and high morale. Jim Mather, Scottish Government Minister for Enterprise, Energy & Tourism Few books...come to define a new era. I can only hope that this passionate, yet informed, critique on the limitations of public sector management becomes one of them. Duncan Kerr, Chief Executive, South Kesteven District Council A true beacon of sanity in an increasingly insane regime; ministers should read this and recognise the error of their ways. Mark Radford, Director of Corporate Services, Swale District Council

No policy maker or public sector manager can afford NOT to read this book. And, if you dont believe the author, read the Case Studies (below).

RUSS ACKOFF: two masterly guides for managers and their victims.

MANAGEMENT f -LAWS

How organisations really work

RUssEll aCKoFF ~ WiTH HERBERT addison REsPonsEs By sally BiBB
Russ was the doyen of Systems Thinking and Design Thinking. He regularly appeared in lists of the worlds most respected business gurus. Herb is a well-known publisher and Sally is a consultant specialising in employee engagement, trust and change.
2007, 180pp., paperback, 978-0-9550081-2-2, 20.00 (18.00 at triarchypress.com)

Weve all heard of Sods (or Murphys) Law if anything can go wrong, it will. Most of us know Parkinsons Law work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Now Management f-Laws brings together a collection of 81 of Professor Russell Ackoffs wittiest and most subversive insights into the world of business.

ruSSell ackoff ~ SyStemS thinking ~ DeSign thinking ~ f-lawS

If you ever need a reality check after stumbling out of some appalling management meeting, or just need cheering up on a long business trip, this is the book for you. Just about every myth or pompous delusion about management gets punctured Stefan Stern, The Daily Telegraph This book is fun - not something one can often say about a management book. Its also a compact piece of distilled wisdom Many of the 81 f-Laws are obvious when you think about them, but are too often ignored or neglected. Yet they matter. Take No. 4: There is no point in asking customers, who do not know what they want, to say what they want. Charles Handy, Management Today This book offers profound thoughts in digestible bites. It is easy to read and entertaining, yet full of wisdom. How much better our organizations would be if managers could really learn these lessons! Michael C Jackson, Professor of Management Systems, Hull University Business School

For managers, leaders and their victims as well as MBA students, these two books offer the essence of Ackoff at his sparkling and most digestible best.
At first glance, the 81 aphorisms, paradoxes and put-downs seem nothing special. The shock comes as the implication sinks in, followed by a chain-reaction of secondary onesuntil shocks are going off all over and you are in no doubt that you are in the presence of one of the profoundest and wittiest brains ever to engage with the bizarre human activity called management. Simon Caulkin,The Observer

MEMORIES

RUssEll aCKoFF ~ FoREWoRd By PETER sEnGE

Russ Ackoff was the doyen of Operations Research, System Thinking and Design Thinking. He regularly appeared in lists of the worlds most respected business thinkers and gurus - alongside Peter Senge and Charles Handy.
2010, 120pp., paperback, 978-0-9565379-7-3 16.00 (14.50 at triarchypress.com); hardback, 978-0-9565379-9-7, 25.00 (19.75 at triarchypress.com)

You might think Memories would be the fond autobiography of a grumpy old guru. Not a bit of it! There are stories of his chats with the Queen of Iran, his introduction of theme parks to the US, appearing naked in front of his commanding officer in World War II but theyre all there to do a serious job.

Published posthumously, Memories is a very gentle and human introduction to this most rigorous and demanding of thinkers. It will be appreciated by fellow academics and consultants, managers and business studies students.
Ackoff knew his students remembered stories better than teachings, so he uses them to deliver a succession of principles and aphorisms developed during his life.
ruSSell ackoff ~ SyStemS thinking ~ DeSign thinking ~ organiSational theory ~ peter Senge ~ charleS hanDy

Russ was an incisive, lifelong critic of the modern organizational form. He saw its limitations and argued for radical redesign. He was an advocate for major re-visioning and processes of change that started with helping people see what they truly valued and where they truly wanted to get and then working backwards to see what it would take to get there. Peter Senge, from his Foreword to Memories

DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

An annotated glossary of distinctions important in management
RUssEll aCKoFF ~ FoREWoRd By CHaRlEs Handy
2010, 144pp., paperback, 978-1-908009-01-2 14.00

Towards the end of his life, Russ Ackoff determined to explain how some of the apparently insignificant misinterpretations of language and meaning he observed during his long years of research can, in practice, have farreaching consequences. His aim was to dissolve (not solve or resolve) some of the many disputes in professional and private life that revolve around such misunderstandings. In this last manuscript that he was to complete before his death he does exactly that.

For managers, leaders, executives, MBA students, hierarchs and heterarchs of all ages, this is a perfect introduction to Ackoffs writing and thinking. It is, as Charles Handy says, a manual for clear thinking and a fitting tribute to the man.

Systems Thinking and Design Thinking 5/5

Applying Systems Thinking to the design, structure and day-to-day running of your organisation: a blueprint and a revealing diagnostic toolkit.

THE SEARCH FOR LEADERSHIP

An Organisational Perspective
William TaTE
Bill Tate runs two consulting practices, was formerly head of HR Strategy at British Airways and has taught on Cass Business Schools Executive MBA Programme.
2009, 324pp., paperback, 978-0-9557681-7-0, 28.00 (25.00 at triarchypress.com) Hardback, 978-0-9557681-8-7, 40.00 (35.00 at triarchypress.com); e-book, 40.00

This Systems Thinking approach to leadership asks us to look beyond individuals, managers, leaders and management training programmes. Using the analogy of an aquarium (where water quality determines the health of the fish), Bill Tate reviews a range of issues like: Distributing authority ~ management vs. organisation development ~ the structural gaps that account for waste, rework, poor communication and failure ~ transferring learning ~ organisational competence ~ accountability ~ the organisations culture and shadow-side.

Used with the Toolkit (below), this is a practical book for HR and other senior executives who want to run an open, effective, responsible and empowering organisation but arent sure where to start. Also a powerful stimulus to fresh thinking for business students.
Full of practical tips and insights a must read book for any leadership or organisational development practitioner who wants to make a difference to business success. Linda Holbeche, CIPD

organiSational leaDerShip ~ SyStemS thinking ~ organiSational theory

offers a practical road map for understanding and improving organisations and the way they are led. Professor John Storey, The Open University Business School Bill Tate rightly re-focuses the lens onto the organisation itself in a series of simple, clear and relevant examples. Air Vice-Marshal Jon Lamonte, Royal Air Force a book to challenge both orthodox thinking on leadership, and shift the focus to the organisation. He cleverly mixes generic concepts with case studies and real experience, in a blend of the commercial and public sectors. There is also a neat diagnostic tool to ensure engagement with the approach articulated. Robin Field-Smith, Her Majestys Inspector of Constabulary, London

SYSTEMIC LEADERSHIP TOOLKIT

William TaTE
2009, 152pp., 978-0-9562631-2-4 paperback, 55.00; e-toolkit, 95.00

Designed for use in conjunction with The Search for Leadership (above) this toolkit presents nine self-assessment questionnaires in nine separate modules with detailed implementation advice and guidance designed to give any organisation a complete picture of itself: Management Development ~ Organisation Development ~ Learning ~ Competence ~ Culture ~ Decline ~ Systems ~ The Shadow ~ Accountability. 9

We need to do something differently but are not sure what to do or how to do it Scientists explain complexity but dont tell you what to do in practical terms. This book provides the solution for people who are looking for a commonsense and pragmatic way to understand the complexity that they experience and work with daily. Drawing on a wide range of experiences both their own and others and using the insights gained from Complexity Science, the authors have developed a framework and approach which practitioners can use to understand, influence and benefit from the dynamic phenomena in their working contexts.

complexity ~ management ~ organiSation theory

The authors present six case studies. In some of them such as the UK Fuel Crisis (2000) and the 2010 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill the authors Approach offers a clearer understanding of the stresses and strains that were felt throughout the crisis than we have heard elsewhere. They also explain how these crises might have been handled differently had an understanding of complexity been a part of standard practice. Other case studies, such as the Social Housing project in Ludlow, UK and a slum housing project in Cameroon, show how the Approach has worked in practice to achieve sustainable solutions.

A bible for complexity practitioners showing how the underlying principles of Complexity Science can be put to work in practice with an in-depth, systematic framework showing when and how to shape and influence dynamic phenomena in their working context for successful and sustainable solutions.
Practitioners who are engaged in dealing with complex issues across diverse domains and contexts will find this book illuminating, thought provoking and most of all useful in guiding them to ways of moving forwards in their endeavours to understand and then exploit that understanding for greater purpose It should be on the bookshelf of anyone seriously engaged with any complex issue. Prof. Brian Collins, Chief Scientific Adviser, UK Dept. for Transport and Dept. for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Complexity Thinking 2/2

Complexity Theory explained Two practical guides

ADVENTURES IN COMPLEXITY
lEsliE KUHn

For Organisations Near the Edge of Chaos

Leslie is Senior Lecturer in the College of Business at the University of Western Sydney. A prolific author, she has led over 30 research projects.
2009, 146pp., paperback, 978-0-9562631-0-0 20.00 (16.00 at triarchypress.com)

The focus here is on organisations and the life of organisations. It shows how complexity theory can be applied in/to organisations. Seven case studies, from a not-for-profit to a pharmaceutical firm, examine this sophisticated way of thinking and its application.

complexity ~ management ~ organiSation theory

Complexity theory is at the forefront of current thinking about ways to understand and manage the dynamic, messy, overlapping and interconnected systems that shape our world today. It removes simplistic hopes of an ordered and controllable existence where, if only we had the right keys or tools, we would be able to fashion a successful organisation. Instead, it offers a way to identify underlying patterns of order and indicators for influencing future sustainable practice; it also shows how influential interventions do not take a neat cause-and-effect path but may generate unexpected outcomes. Embracing uncertainty and change, the book shows that, when systems reach the edge of chaos, they are most likely to exhibit creative, innovative responses and new patterns are most likely to emerge. In the current climate many organisations may consider themselves near the edge of chaos, but most will not realise the potential that this offers.

For leaders, managers, and anyone who works in an organisation, here is a straight-forward and practical way to apply an important theory. For academics, researchers and students, this book shows how complexity theory can be translated into the workplace.
A short and effective introduction to the art and science of complexity. A very useful resource introducing the terminology and thinking patterns required to adopt the complexity paradigm as a way of thinking and reasoning about organisations... Prof. Darren Dalcher, Middlesex University a thoughtful, innovative and above all practical book about the implications and applications of complexity science for management. Written in a refreshingly engaging style, it packs a lot of useful information in a relatively small book. not only a major new contribution to the literature on management and complexity, but to management literature as a whole. Prof. Alfonso Montuori, Department Chair, Transformative Inquiry, California Institute of Integral Studies Because of [her] deep understanding of complexity and organizations, she can take material others find daunting, and without sacrificing any depth, make it accessible to those who want to understand and apply the potential at the edge of chaos. Prof. Deborah P. Bloch, University of San Francisco

Cultural Theory A key model for understanding risk and conflict at an organisational, social, governmental and international level. Practical applications + Case Studies.

ORGANISING AND DISORGANISING

miCHaEl THomPson
Michael has worked with/for Unilever, ESRC, University of California at Berkeley, European Parliament, International Academy of the Environment, Battelle Pacific Northwest National Labs, The Design Council, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and many others.
2008, 160pp., paperback, 978-0-9557681-4-9 25.00 (19.00 at triarchypress.com)

Business leaders with a job to do often conclude that any interaction with opposing views is a messy and unwelcome distraction. Scaled up to a global level, this belief causes big problems. The international financial crisis of recent years perfectly illustrates the danger of allowing one voice (individualist/markets) to drown out all the others.

cultural theory ~ riSk ~ organiSation theory ~ mary DouglaS ~ michael thompSon

Mary Douglass Cultural Theory of Risk explained how people and communities get into conflict because of the different ways that they perceive risk. Michael Thompson has developed that theory, arguing that there are five ways of organising (voices): hierarchical (e.g. Government), egalitarian (e.g. Greenpeace), individualistic (e.g. financial markets), fatalistic (nothing will make a difference) and autonomous (hermit-like avoidance of the other four).

Brings Cultural Theory into focus with case studies of UNEP, the UK Department for International Development, Shell Oil, The World Bank, Nepal, Arsenal Football Club. Its lively and witty presentation and its rigorous attention to detail makes it accessible to academics, managers, policy makers and the interested general public.
a timely reminder of what a broad, reflective and theoretically coherent social science of organizations can offer. the marriage of cultural and organization theory could provide a very fruitful springboard for future research. Prof. Stuart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney; Distinguished Visiting Professor, Judge Institute, University of Cambridge This theory has so many strengths, it is difficult to know where to start. In particular, I like the view that change always results through the clumsy interaction of ways of thinking and behaving. Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, RSA, London Wow! What a revelation - the thoughts and ideas, the clarity in the writing, even down to the idiomatic expressions and down-to-earth style - this is what great academic writing is all about.

Cultural Theory and Triarchy Theory 2/2

Triarchy Theory The definitive guide

THE THREE WAYS OF GETTING THINGS DONE

Hierarchy, Heterarchy and Responsible Autonomy in Organisations
GERaRd FaiRTloUGH
Gerard had a distinguished business career, during which he led Shell Chemicals in the UK and founded biotech firm Celltech.
2007, 140pp., paperback, 978-0-9550081-3-9 20.00

In his youth Gerard Fairtlough, thought, like everyone else, that hierarchy was a natural and necessary part of organisations. It took years of working for a large multinational (Shell) for him to begin to doubt that this was so, and more years before he started to explore the alternatives to hierarchy. In the end he has become convinced that it is vital to question hierarchys inevitability and to develop alternatives to it. Tinkering isnt enough; huge shifts are needed if our businesses are to become more profitable and creative, if our government agencies are to become more effective, and if our non-governmental organisations are to make real changes in the world and act in a really responsible way. His method in this book is to expound some general principles and to develop some general models useful in all organisations. His theory (Triarchy Theory) gave our publishing company its name and his beliefs underpin our philosophy that organisations are inevitably messy but could do better.

triarchy theory ~ management ~ organiSation theory ~ hierarchy

the more I listen to his arguments, the more I believe he is on to something. Richard Donkin, Financial Times presents an interesting idea eloquently and clearly, The Economist With Fairtlough, the combination of experiential artistry, wisdom, and deeply reflective practice positions a different kind of creative thinking at the forefront of organization design. Professor Stewart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney an elegant and concise exploration of contemporary theory and practice in the governance of organisations. Walter Truett Anderson, World Academy of Art and Science challenges organizations to reconsider hierarchy and their dependence on it. of interest not only to academics and students of organizational and complexity theory, but also to anyone with an interest in the way we live and work today. The Institute of Management Consultancy

For Alan Sugar, senior managers, and anyone who works in an organisation, here is a clear and practical explanation of a quite essential piece of knowledge: namely that hierarchy is just one way (and a not very good one) of getting things done. For academics, researchers and MBA students, this gets to the heart of many organisational issues.

Scenario Planning 1/1

Scenario Planning brought right up to date with Case Studies and a series of essential essays from one of its foremost exponents Jay Ogilvy.

FACING THE FOLD

JamEs oGilVy

Essays on Scenario Planning

Jay worked with Peter Schwartz at SRI International and then at Shell in the early 1980s. He co-founded Global Business Network.
2011, 312pp., paperback, 978-1-908009-22-7 25.00 (15.00 at triarchypress.com)

Shell famously survived the oil crisis of 1973 because of its use of Scenario Planning. The Bush Administration had a range of scenarios drawn up for the aftermath of the Iraq invasion but ignored the ones that suggested the violence and disorder that actually ensued.

Scenario planning ~ SyStemS thinking ~ complexity

Scenario Planning is a recognised and highly regarded way for organisations of all sizes to negotiate the uncertainty and complexity of our times. In Facing The Fold Jay Ogilvy has brought together a collection of essays about: Section i the nuts and bolts of scenario planning, the steps involved in the practice of developing scenarios, and the key considerations to ensure successful scenario planning. Section ii Scenario Plannings place in the larger context of the human sciences of anthropology, psychology, literary criticism, philosophy and sociology. Section iii case studies from the public and the private sector and higher education.

This is a book for thoughtful business leaders, for government policy makers and advisors
Facing the Fold is a luminous distillation of philosophical wisdom and modern management theory. A richer, more readable introduction to the theory and practice of scenario planning does not exist. Robert W. Fuller, Author of All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity Jay Ogilvy has for decades been an intrepid pioneer in the development of both the practice and theory of scenario planning. This wonderful collection of his writings is therefore a most welcome and valuable contribution to the field. Adam Kahane, Reos Partners and University of Oxford Ogilvy delivers a dramatic advance in scenario thinking, transforming scenarios from mere tools to vehicles for deep discovery in the face of uncertainty. Facing the Fold will change forever the way one thinks about the future and the possibilities it holds. Paul Saffo, Foresight Discern Analytics More than ever, we need to be able to think clearly about the future. I can think of no better practitioner and theorist than Jay Ogilvy. I have had the great pleasure and learning experience of participating in several scenario workshops led by Ogilvy over the years: mind-stretching experiences that proved to be prophetic in hindsight. Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs and Virtual Communities

On Q cards can be used as a creativity tool, a meeting interlude, an intergenerational game, a discussion forum... On Q has 70 carefully selected prompt cards (Qcards), each of which asks a question - which will be answered by one person, a team or everyone in turn, depending on the rules you choose to play. Some Qcards ask for snapshots of our past, others ask for our thoughts about our lives today and some for our hopes and fears for the future. For example: What have you tried unsuccessfully to change? What prejudices do you have that you find hard to throw off? What is the first advertisement you can remember? What one thing would you like to guarantee?

Designed for consultants, facilitators, team leaders and trainers, as well as anyone running a meeting or looking for new ways to get different generations to talk to one another.

We are confronted by major disasters and disruptions. The most familiar and headline grabbing are natural disasters such as earthquakes and superstorms. Whole swathes of infrastructure can be destroyed in such incidents affecting millions of people. Combine these with man-made disasters and we have a new level of hazard [when multiple problems occur at the same time] called synchronous failure. The implications for our world have yet to be properly addressed.

Ten Things... looks at the Conceptual Emergency which arises when profound changes cut across our established ways of thinking. It reformulates the challenges we face and suggests ten small but significant acts of hope that we can undertake. Beautifully illustrated and written, its ideas include practising social acupuncture and giving up on the myth of control.

This gem of a book will appeal to managers and organisational and political leaders but also to environmental campaigners, social psychologists and educationalists.
The book would also make a fine textbook for any one of a number of disciplines - economics, business, organization development, systems thinking, and even philosophy. Steve Byers, The In2In Network

Uses the principles of ecological thinking to redefine our narrow understanding of terms like economy and value. Considers with poetic sensitivity and intellectual clarity what keeps each economy healthy, what sort of wealth each one accumulates and what sort of policies are most supportive of innovation and sustainability in a changing world. Art, claims Bill, is the currency of experience and should be valued as such.

innovation ~ teamwork ~ The economisT ~ creativity

The book unravels the many issues and dilemmas that the team faced, including: How businesses should prepare for the next phase of web innovation How to integrate a team of complete strangers to work together seamlessly How to balance calls for transparency and the need for commercial secrecy How innovation might work in a world of online social networking and blogging How six people can survive in a tiny office for six months without killing each other How to evaluate ideas and choose the best How to merge technical and non-technical people on a technical project How well current theories of innovation work in practice.

For anyone involved with innovation or creativity in business or the public sector, or working in a media company or simply working in a team, this book suggests new ways of approaching a research or innovation project. Also offers a fascinating look inside a contemporary London media business.
Each chapter is a meditation on a specific need or requirement for team building, creativity, innovation, communication and a host of other topics... Id highly recommend this book to any team embarking on an innovation initiative it examines a lot of the issues and challenges of building an innovation team and doing the difficult, messy work of innovation. Jeffrey Phillips, Consultant, OVO Innovation a series of reflections on the innovation process that highlights the limitations of the conventional how-to approach of most management books There are few answers here but lots of good questions. They are expressed in the form of dilemmas at the end of each section, underlining the fact that management decisions are highly contextual, and that what you choose to do will depend upon the situation you are in.

Hurst, Strategy + Business If you are currently planning an innovation project or culture change at your organization, this book is an essential read to help remind you of the potential pitfalls that await you in such an undertaking.

a very people-centred approach to the topic of leadership and management. You could even say that in the style of a social network the story of the book is based around profiles. Certainly Monkeys with Typewriters is very much concerned with the character of leaders in the Web 2.0 world, as its chapter headings Passion, Openness, Listening, Generosity suggest. succeeds in giving a humane sense of whats involved in dealing with this new world. David Jennings, Digital business consultant a new and refreshing read, a sparkling gem in a field of proliferating drudgery of read this now and it will change your life books presents a rich tapestry of current thinking and practices that harness the power of open information flow in the realtime web.

Growth Through Design and Differentiation

Andrew is a cultural anthropologist, taught at Alabama University and Lancaster University Management School and runs his own organisational consultancy.
2008, 196pp., paperback, 978-0-9550081-5-3 20.00

Sets out the defining practices and procedures of some of the worlds most innovative (and successful) companies Southwest Airlines, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Google, Innocent Drinks, Shanghai Tang and others. Reveals a pattern of distinctive ways (Design Thinking) in which they differentiate themselves from traditional firms: from managing the business and running the workplace to talking to customers and recruiting, motivating and rewarding staff. From this pattern, Andrew constructs a Design Thinking model built on the principles of architecture, design and anthropology. He sets out the rules for implementing that model and creating organisations equipped to manage the known and to build the unknown.

The centrepiece [is] the studies of the seven major innovators. The final chapter is designed to help managers make the transition. You really need to read this book Ann Kelly, CMI The case studies will be very helpful in giving students, who are already in senior management positions, examples of successful innovation in the workplace. Also it is important that the students can relate theory to practice and I believe this book does that very well. Janette Wyper, Centre for Academic & Professional Development, University of the West of Scotland

Business leaders can, quite literally, measure themselves against the best and most innovative firms in the world while researchers and academics will find a statement of what defines current management and organisational best practice.

Academics and research scientists, like cats and fish, resist herding. Garrett and Davies have done their fair share of herding. Grazed, they bring their insights into this most thankless of tasks to the attention of those who would follow in their footsteps.

The books four sections Understanding the Culture; Getting the Job Done; Managing the People and Leading Strategically reflect upon the dilemmas, tensions and pressures that face any new or current academic or research leader in a cats environment. acaDemia ~ leaDerShip ~ reSearch ~ hiDing to nothing
Not only did I enjoy Herding Cats - I laughed out loud at how true it is. Cats indeed. I also enjoyed the novel format: succinct, engaging, and easy to comprehend.

Every other book or article on management, leadership and organisations tells us to value failure and the opportunities for learning that it offers. But we (governments, public figures, company directors, public services, schools, individuals) remain fearful of it the stain that can end careers and destroy credibility. In The Failure Files, leading thinkers and practitioners discuss different aspects of the concept of failure and how it relates to a variety of settings in todays society from education to social history to psychology to public services.

failure ~ rSa ~ riSk ~ creativity ~ innovation ~ public ServiceS ~ management

The book is based on the RSAs Glory of Failure project, which began in 2009. The idea behind both the project and the book is to bring failure out from under the carpet and into the public sphere, to acknowledge that doing something wrong or failing to see what needed to be done is an essential part of achievement. The Failure Files is a call to open up discussions about how to build appropriate responses to failure into our society, our workplaces and our personal lives. This is a book for thoughtful business leaders, for government policy makers and advisors and for academics and researchers in the fields of education, social history, psychology and public services.

This book is not entirely conventional. Its an assemblage of sometimes unreliable and fractious documents hung around a flawed, yet epic tale of the authors recent journey in the footsteps of an eminent Edwardian who, in 1912, walked across northern England planting acorns but stopped when his adopted cur, Pontiflunk, was run over by an early automobile. It floats numerous narratives around this travelogue, weaving a matrix of possible trajectories for the reader from passive contemplation to wild pilgrimage and activist pedestrianism.

An extraordinary and unexpected book for academics and slightly unusual ordinary people.
The second half has advice, tasks, guidance, kits and mental maps: a toolbag of information and suggestions for the reader who wants to take the next step. Mixing rambling discourses and postdramatic performance with soft architecture and post-politics-politics, this is a guide to strolling in the cracks in the pavement and a means to walking out on the Spectacle.

involving, passionate and often very funny storytelling. Des de Moor, Walk, The Ramblers Magazine With the proviso that the ideas contained in this book can only ever be fully realized and theorized on the hoof and in communion with others, this compilation of diary and notebook entries, manifestos and other assembled documents is an intriguing exploration into the practices of a loose coalition of exploratory walkers, pedestrian geographers, and drifting groups. New Theatre Quarterly quite possibly the strangest book I have ever read. Partly novel, and partly philosophical treatise, the book is a sort of field guide to exploring and interacting with urban and rural environments. Its informative and witty, but mostly a celebration of finding, or making, weirdness in the most ordinary (and extraordinary) places.
