Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve been given a project to run. You know you need to get it right, but you don’t know what you need to do and in what order to make sure it all runs smoothly and you come out of it looking great. You need Project Management Step by Step. Almost every manager and businessperson finds at some time they need to complete a task that has sufficient complexity and importance that an ad-hoc approach to getting it done is just not enough. Managers in this common situation need the structure and rigour of a project management approach, yet very few managers are formally trained in project management or have the inclination, time or finances to become trained. They need an approach they can feel confident is sufficiently robust to ensure their success, but also simple enough to be immediately applicable. Project Management Step by Step provides the solution to this problem; a practical and immediate way to become a competent project manager.

Download or read book Releasing resources to the frontline written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-01-25 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs) are stand-alone, national organisations that are sponsored by the Department of Health to deliver specialised services and functions. ALBs range in size, but normally have boards, employ staff and publish accounts, and receive substantial funding from the Department. This National Audit Office report examines the allocation of resources and potential efficiencies that such bodies require. There are four categories of ALB: (i) Regulation of the healthcare system, e.g. Healthcare Commission; (ii) Establishing of national standards for healthcare, e.g. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence; (iii) Safety and public welfare, e.g. Health Protection Agency; (iv) Provision of central services to the NHS, e.g. NHS Litigation Authority. In 2003-04, there were 38 ALBs, employing some 25,000 staff and receiving £1.2 billion grant-in-aid funding. The NAO has set out a number of recommendations, including: to deliver efficiencies in ALBs, targets should focus on value for money defined in terms of total resources; Departments must be clear about what targets mean in practice and that any decisions to merge or reconfigure such bodies should be based on an Impact Assessment, identifying the costs and benefits of the change; Departments intending to deliver efficiencies through their ALBs, should map out their ALB sector and understand the individual circumstances of the particular ALB; Departments should also establish baseline performance and financial metrics; sponsors or other parts of the Department should not commission new work from ALBs without prior discussion with the central ALB finance team; after the conclusion of the ALB Review in 2008-09, good practice governance arrangements should be maintained, with appropriate assessment of the purpose and value for money of any new ALBs established.

She also demonstrates the value of soul retrievals, freeing spirits, understanding karmic history, and other related subjects.

Download or read book Net Zero and Natural Resources Law written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States, corporations, and other actors worldwide have committed to measures aimed at bringing down global emissions to net zero by the year 2060 or earlier. While the need for a clean energy transition is clear, incoherently designed transition programs can pose complex environmental, social, and governance risks, including legal liability and protracted disputes. At the same time, the rush for minerals needed to manufacture clean energy technologies raises fundamental questions–most crucially, how to ensure the exploration and development of energy transition minerals in a manner that does not exacerbate resource conflicts, resource nationalism, human rights violations, protectionism, energy insecurity, social exclusions, and inequity, especially in conflict-affected and high-risk regions. By studying the legal and regulatory systems of Africa, Asia, Europe, Australasia, and North and South America through the themes of sovereignty, security and solidarity, Net Zero and Natural Resources Law provides an in-depth discussion of tools and techniques for addressing the legal and contract risks relating to the clean energy transition. This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative account of the nature, scope, and guiding principles of natural resources law and policy in a net zero era. Consideration is given to the integrated resource governance roadmap that is needed to improve coherence and coordination in the design, financing, and implementation of energy transition programs across the entire natural resource value chain.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Development Economics written by Machiko Nissanke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook responds to the needs and aspirations of current and future generations of development economists by providing critical reference material alongside or in relation to mainstream propositions. Despite the potential of globalisation in accelerating growth and development in low and middle-income countries through the spread of technology, knowledge and information, its current practice in many parts of the world has led to processes that are socially, economically and politically and ecologically unsustainable. It is critical for development economists to engage with the pivotal question of how to change the nature and course of globalisation to make it work for inclusive and sustainable development. Applying a critical and pluralistic approach, the chapters in this Handbook examine economics of development paths under globalisation, focusing on sustainable development in social, environmental, institutional and political economy dimensions. It aims at advancing the frontier of development economics in these key aspects and generating more refined policy perspectives. It is critically reflective in examining effects of globalisation on development paths to date, and in terms of methodological and analytical approaches, as well as forward-thinking in policy perspectives with a view to laying a foundation for sustainable development.
