Download or read book Rethinking Change Management with Nudges written by Matt D M Watson, PH D and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Matt Watson had run his last workforce reduction project, he felt troubled. Disturbed with how much organizational change forces impact on the workforce. Realizing that the constant is change, he shifted his focus to creating something new. In turn, he created a change approach that would partner the organization with the employees. Change models are relatively new to organizational management and have made a positive impact on helping companies navigate change. However, there are still gaps in each change model leaving managers with incomplete blueprints. Rethinking Change Management addresses those gaps and explains the 9X change model. This approach curates the best practices from each change model to help build a comprehensive change strategy. Unique to the 9X model is that the approach to change focuses on engaging the workforce with nudges and empowered decision making. This 45-minute read will help ignite your thinking on looking at change through a new window and how you apply change management at your organization.
Download or read book Nudge Change Management written by and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We humans crave security. Yet, continual change and adaptation are the lifeblood of a company. Keeping an organization competitive and relevant means regular change, thus shattering the sense of security people have with their jobs and their livelihoods. It's no wonder people resist change.No matter a global corporation or small business, change is often 'done' to a voiceless workforce. Management wields the power of disruption and often does so without engaging those to-be-impacted with an opportunity to help design the change. Though most will claim there is no other way, utilizing such an approach highlights a real blindspot for managers. Including employees in the process has been proven to have a direct link to ensuring successful change implementation. Simply, managers and change management practitioners must re-think how they implement change initiatives for their organizations.Matt Watson, Ph.D. developed "Nudge Change Management" to pair best practices of modern-day change approaches with Thaler and Sunstein's Nudge Theory. Watson's model empowers employees using data, transparency, and motivation to make decisions to help move their organizations forward. Guided by an illustrative case study, readers of "Nudge Change Management" are able to apply this new change approach in their organizations, and gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and nuances of creating a change team to designing and implementing the necessary change in their enterprise.

Download or read book Nudge nudge think think written by Peter John and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can governments persuade their citizens to act in socially beneficial ways? This ground-breaking book builds on the idea of 'light touch interventions' or 'nudges' proposed in Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's highly influential Nudge (2008). While recognising the power of this approach, it argues that an alternative also needs to be considered: a 'think' strategy that calls on citizens to decide their own priorities as part of a process of civic and democratic renewal. As well as setting out these divergent approaches in theory, the book provides evidence from a number of experiments to show how using 'nudge' or 'think' techniques works in practice. Updated and rewritten, this second edition features a new epilogue that reflects on recent developments in nudge theory and practice, introducing a radical version of nudge, ‘nudge plus’. There is also a substantial prologue by Cass Sunstein.
Download or read book Rethinking Governance written by Mark Bevir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores new directions of governance and public policy arising both from interpretive political science and those who engage with interpretive ideas. It conceives governance as the various policies and outcomes emerging from the increasing salience of neoclassical and institutional economics or, neoliberalism and new institutionalisms. In doing so, it suggests that that the British state consists of a vast array of meaningful actions that may coalesce into contingent, shifting, and contestable practices. Based on original fieldwork, it examines the myriad ways in which local actors - civil servants, mid-level public managers, and street level bureaucrats - have interpreted elite policy narratives and thus forged practices of governance on the ground. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of governance and public policy.

Download or read book Built to Change written by Edward E. Lawler, III and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-02-17 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, organizational effectiveness experts Edward Lawler and Christopher Worley show how organizations can be “built to change” so they can last and succeed in today’s global economy. Instead of striving to create a highly reliable Swiss watch that consistently produces the same behavior, they argue organizations need to be designed in ways that stimulate and facilitate change. Built to Change focuses on identifying practices and designs that organizations can adopt so that they are able to change. As Lawler and Worley point out, organizations that foster continuous change Are closely connected to their environments Reward experimentation Learn about new practices and technologies Commit to continuously improving performance Seek temporary competitive advantages
Download or read book Rethinking Suicide written by Craig J. Bryan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I joined the Air Force in 2005, hostilities in Iraq were escalating, resulting in more frequent and longer deployments for just about everyone serving in the military, including psychologists. Soon thereafter, the suicide rate among military personnel also started to rise, especially in the Army and Marine Corps. During the first few years of that upward trend, the general sense was that the military was just having a few "bad years." In 2008, however, the age- and gender-adjusted Army and Marine suicide rates surpassed the U.S. general population rate. By the time I deployed to Iraq in February 2009, the military suicide rate had been rising steadily for three consecutive years; the initial assumption that we were simply experiencing a few bad years had dissolved, and an uncomfortable recognition that we had a clear problem on our hands had taken hold"--
Download or read book Rethinking Parking written by David Mepham and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the past century, we have viewed the issue of parking from the driver’s seat. It follows that key narratives about parking reaffirm the immediate needs of the driver. A consequence of this approach is a failure to understand the significant damage that parking causes to the destination. That damage is amplified by ‘cheap, easy’ parking at the expense of place and access outcomes. Viewing parking from an urban planning and design perspective highlights different issues and opportunities. Five perspectives are offered: Place – If we gave drivers all the parking they wanted, the destination would not be worth visiting. Politics – Parking is intensely territorial, emotional, and prone to populism, and this is a barrier to strategic and sustainable parking reform. Policy – Parking tends to be focused on the ‘me, here and now’ needs of the driver at the expense of bigger picture and longer term policy objectives. Price – Subsidized parking exists behind opaque pricing mechanisms. In contrast, a transparent accounting of costs is a vehicle for strategic parking reform. Professional practice – Parking is a significant land-use issue, located at the juncture of transport and urban planning and design. Improving urban parking outcomes requires an integrated and collaborative planning process. An alternative view of parking is timely as new technologies and economies fundamentally change everything we understand about parking. A potential paradigm shift is in the making. Rethinking Parking provides a pathway to a better parking/place balance and access to destinations worth visiting. It is valuable reading for students and professionals engaged in transport, planning, urban access, and design.
Download or read book RETHINK Design Guide written by Nicola Gillen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has changed. How will society emerge post-pandemic? Will we take the opportunity to reset the status quo? And, if so, what possibilities are there for architects to take the initiative in designing this new world? This innovative design guide draws together expert guidance on designing in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic for key architectural sectors: housing, workplace, civic and cultural, hospitality, education, infrastructure and civic placemaking. It provides design inspiration to architects on how they can respond to the challenges and opportunities of a post-pandemic environment and how architects ensure they are at the forefront of the best design in this new world. Looking at each sector in turn, it covers the challenges specific to each, and how delivering these designs might differ from the pre-pandemic world. As well as post-pandemic design, the vital issue of climate change will be threaded through each sector, with many cross-overs between designing for the climate emergency and designing for a world after a pandemic. Both seek to make the world a safer, happier and more resilient place. Written by set of contributing design experts, this book is for all architects, whether sole practitioners or working in a larger practice. As well as inspirational design guidance, it also provides client perspectives – crucial for understanding how clients are planning for the future too.
Download or read book Rethinking Youth Wellbeing written by Katie Wright and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a critical rethinking of the construct of youth wellbeing, stepping back from taken-for-granted and psychologically inflected understandings. Wellbeing has become a catchphrase in educational, health and social care policies internationally, informing a range of school programs and social interventions and increasingly shaping everyday understandings of young people. Drawing on research by established and emerging scholars in Australia, Singapore and the UK, the book critically examines the myriad effects of dominant discourses of wellbeing on the one hand, and the social and cultural dimensions of wellbeing on the other. From diverse methodological and theoretical perspectives, it explores how notions of wellbeing have been mobilized across time and space, in and out of school contexts, and the different inflections and effects of wellbeing discourses are having in education, transnationally and comparatively. The book offers researchers as well as practitioners new perspectives on current approaches to student wellbeing in schools and novel ways of thinking about the wellbeing of young people beyond educational settings.

Download or read book Management and Performance in Mission Driven Organizations written by Paola Cantarelli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management scholars worldwide increasingly capitalize on theoretical models and research designs from the behavioural sciences to close the implementation gap in mission-driven organisations. This book aims at synthesising the theoretical frameworks and evidence that has flourished over the past decades in order to advance the scholarly debate and the implications for practice in the domains of performance management, information systems, investments strategies, people administration, and change and innovation. It provides meaningful insights to tackle real-world challenges that organizations and their managers face on a daily basis; including why two managers can make radically different decisions in front of the same information, which cognitive traps most often get in the way of good performance management, and how managerial interventions can limit such errors and variability.
