Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors in People Maintained provides a discussion of how organisations can maintain and retain Investors in People (IIP) recognition. Using a no-nonsense approach to help managers and trainers cut through the jargon surrounding the topic, the authors show how organizations can and should plan for Investors in People reviews (reassessments). Peter Taylor and Bob Thackwray provide valuable advice on: the use of post-assessment feedback; maintaining commitment, particularly of managers; improving the planning for evaluation; and continuous development and refinement. This revised edition of Investors in People Maintained brings readers up to date with the changes reflected in the 2001 revised version of the IIP framework, including changes to the delivery network with the introduction of Learning and Skills Councils, the Small Business Service, and Education and Learning Wales. Investors in People Maintained demonstrates how organizations can continue to gain further benefits when continuing to use the Standard, making it an ideal companion to the authors' best-selling introduction to Investors in People, Investors in People Explained. The book is divided into three parts. Part One looks at the major issues faced by organizations following Investors in People recognition. It starts by examining the process, then looks at ways of strengthening the culture of continuous improvement and maintaining momentum. Part Two gives case study examples from a broad range of organizations, showing the wide variety of experiences and benefits to be gained from the review process. Part Three provides practical tools, instruments and strategies that can be used to support the process of embedding, evaluating and creating continuous improvement.

Book excerpt: In 1998, after thirteen years of providing investment advice for Smith Barney, Bill Schultheis wrote a simple book for people who felt overwhelmed by the stock market. He had discovered that when you simplify your investment decisions, you end up getting better returns. As a bonus, you gain more time for family, friends, and other pursuits. The Coffeehouse Investor explains why we should stop thinking about top-rated stocks and mutual funds, shifts in interest rates, and predictions for the economy. Stop trying to beat the stock market average, which few “experts” ever do. Instead, just remember three simple principles: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And save for a rainy day. By focusing more on your passions and creativity and less on the daily ups and downs, you will actually build more wealth—and improve the quality of your life at the same time.

Download or read book The Compleat Biz written by Rob Wherrett and published by Reroq Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This far-sighted book shows how, in the 21st Century, we can develop a model for the organisation that is built on a philosophy that considers people and sustainability but above all else answers the question "Why are we in business?" It is intended to help all those who seek to make their organisations rewarding places to work and at the same time be responsive to the world around them and the people involved. This really is a different way of looking at what we do and why we do it. Not from the standpoint of right or wrong but from understanding the overall consequences of our strategies and their execution. It explodes several myths that plague management, including the idea that never-ending growth is an essential for success. Importantly, the writing looks forward and provides us with models that are very much in tune with the changing world and the need to re-assess how we operate on planet earth. It contains a serious message delivered in an engaging way, with humour and insight, drawing on real-life situations and experience. An intriguing approach to the complex problems that we call business.
