Book Designed for Digital

Download or read book Designed for Digital written by Jeanne W. Ross and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Forbes's Top Ten Technology Books of the Year How to redesign ‘big, old’ companies for digital success—featuring a survey of 300+ business leaders and 30+ global organizations, including Amazon, Uber, LEGO, Toyota North America, Philips, and USAA. Most established companies have deployed such digital technologies as the cloud, mobile apps, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence. But few established companies are designed for digital. This book offers an essential guide for retooling organizations for digital success through 5 key building blocks: • Shared Customer Insights • Operational Backbone • Digital Platform • Accountability Framework • External Developer Platform In the digital economy, rapid pace of change in technology capabilities and customer desires means that business strategy must be fluid. As a result, business design has become a critical management responsibility. Effective business design enables a company to quickly pivot in response to new competitive threats and opportunities. Most leaders today, however, rely on organizational structure to implement strategy, unaware that structure inhibits, rather than enables, agility. In companies that are designed for digital, people, processes, data, and technology are synchronized to identify and deliver innovative customer solutions—and redefine strategy. Digital design, not strategy, is what separates winners from losers in the digital economy. Designed for Digital offers practical advice on digital transformation, with examples that include Amazon, BNY Mellon, DBS Bank, LEGO, Philips, Schneider Electric, USAA, and many other global organizations. Drawing on 5 years of research and in-depth case studies, the book is an essential guide for companies that want to disrupt rather than be disrupted in the new digital landscape.

Seventeen-year-old Mireya and her classmates are the youngest people alive on Earth in 2055, kept protected on a military base she’s never left. She’s never wanted to leave, never questioned why she’s been content to stay there her whole life—until she runs into Heath. Actually, he bumped into her with his Gideon Corp delivery van. She’s not hurt, but she is baffled. Why did the alluring young guy look at her like he knew her? And why did he seem shocked at her very average eye color? When one-by-one her friends visit the physician and come back acting like strangers, Mireya decides to venture beyond the gates of the base to search for answers. And for Heath. What she’ll find is the imposing walls surrounding Gideon Corp, the world’s largest corporation, hide many secrets about the cataclysmic global event that wiped out the world’s children—and perhaps even about Mireya herself. DESIGNED is a gripping and romantic, action-packed dystopian science fiction novel set in a near future America and is perfect for readers who loved Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, Veronica Roth's Divergent, Scott Westerfield's Uglies, and Kiera Cass' Selection series.

Book Designed to Sell

    Book Details:
  • Author : Alessandra Wood
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2020-02-28
  • ISBN : 0429796633
  • Pages : 292 pages

Download or read book Designed to Sell written by Alessandra Wood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to Sell presents an engaging account of mid-twentieth-century department store design and display in America from the 1930s to the 1960s. It traces the development of postwar philosophies of retail design that embodied aesthetics and function and new modes of merchandise display, resulting in the emergence of a new type of industrial designer. The evolution of aesthetics in department stores during this period reflected larger cultural shifts in consumer behaviour and lifestyle. Designed to Sell explores these changes using five key case studies and original archival sources to reveal the link between designers and consumption beyond the design of individual objects. It argues that design is not simply connected to retail consumption, but that it is capable of controlling how and where customers shop and what they are drawn to purchase. This book contextualises this discussion and brings it up to date for students and scholars interested in design, retail, and interior history.

Book Marriages Designed In Heaven

Download or read book Marriages Designed In Heaven written by Gaylon West and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-18 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of marriage is a timely subject. The Bible simply defines marriage as "a man takes a woman." Happiness and well-being in marriage is based on a specific design. This design along with society's mores, civil government expectations, and ecclesiastical laws and fantasies are addressed. Jesus' message is compared and/or contrasted with Moses, the Prophets, the Pharisees, the Apostles, and Medieval church leaders. Over 40 translations of the Bible were consulted in addition to comparing the ancient Hebrew with its Greek equivalents through interlinears, word studies, lexicons, dictionaries, textual variants, and scholastic articles and comments. The appendix gives the history of Christendom's changing positions on marriage, divorce, and remarriage.

Book The Designed Self

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carlo Strenger
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-05-13
  • ISBN : 1134912730
  • Pages : 197 pages

Download or read book The Designed Self written by Carlo Strenger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can contemporary psychoanalysis bring to the understanding of Generation X, a cohort for whom the trivialization of a dizzying array of possible experiences teamed with the pressure to lead spectacular lives often leads to diffuse feelings of confusion, depression, and disorientation. The Designed Self chronicles Strenger's therapeutic encounters with five extraordinarily gifted young adults for whom the ideal of authenticity long associated with the Baby-Boom generation was supplanted by the need to experiment endlessly with the self. Perpetual self-experimentation, constantly reinforced by the media, came to encompass everything from career choice, to hair color, to body shape, to gender identity. In compelling clinical stories, Strenger introduces us to patients for whom the project of shaping the self had become a cultural imperative no less than an expression of individuality. At once insightful and cautionary, The Designed Self investigates how psychoanalysis must change if it is to claim cultural relevance and therapeutic effectiveness in The Age of the Designed Self.

Book Designed to Fail

  • Author : Roseann Liu
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2024-03-20
  • ISBN : 0226832708
  • Pages : 206 pages

Download or read book Designed to Fail written by Roseann Liu and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative examination of how systemic racism in education funding is sustained. For people who care about urban school districts like Philadelphia’s, addressing the challenges that these schools face often boils down to the need for more money. But why are urban districts that serve Black and Brown students still so perennially underfunded compared to majority-white ones? Why is racial equity in school funding so hard to achieve? In Designed to Fail, Roseann Liu provides an inside look at the Pennsylvania state legislature and campaigns for fair funding to show how those responsible for the distribution of school funding work to maintain the privileges of majority-white school districts. Liu analyzes how colorblind policies, political structures, and the maintenance of the status quo by people in power perpetuate wide and deepening racial disparities in education funding. Taking a lesson from community organizers fighting for a racially equitable school funding system, Liu’s work is a bold call to address structural racism at the root and organize from a place of abundant justice.
