Taylor & Francis Events and Society
Book SynopsisEvents of all shapes and sizes play an important part in all of our lives.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Design Thinking in Cultural and Heritage
Book SynopsisThe ability to discover and respond to societal needs in the field of culture requires an integrated, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral approach. Such a holistic view is offered by the design thinking method, which has been extracted from the field of design and could be applied also in the sphere of culture. Interdisciplinarity and consideration of users'' needs are characteristics of contemporary design and can be a significant support when faced with the challenges of cultural heritage management. The abovementioned factors act as the premise behind undertaking an analysis of the possibility of adapting the design thinking method to the management of intangible cultural heritage, and to develop a model of the design thinking process for this area. This research volume is the first comprehensive study of the application of the design thinking method to cultural management, especially management of the intangible cultural heritage.

Taylor & Francis Wellbeing and Wellness
Book SynopsisWell-being and Wellness: Psychosocial Risk Management is a companion to Health and Safety: Risk Management that describes the techniques and background knowledge for preventing injury and ill health in the workplace. The new book instead describes the techniques and background knowledge for preventing impairment of worker well-being and wellness.These techniques differ from those required for the prevention of injury and ill health because of the need to take into account individual differences in susceptibility to psychosocial risk sources, and the fact that psychosocial risk sources can provide opportunities as well as threats. The book is divided into two parts: Part I describes the required background knowledge, including the nature of psychosocial harms to individuals, what can trigger these harms, and what can be done to mitigate these harms, and also deals with the necessary psychological background and the role of individual differences in

Taylor & Francis The Tontine A History
Book SynopsisFrom the last decades of the seventeenth century until the beginning of the twentieth, the tontine, in one form or another, was a ubiquitous financial instrument. As a revenue-raising tool of governments it supported the cost of war, and as a private capital-raising instrument it provided funding for civic improvement and urban development projects.While the tontine is known today mainly through fictional works (Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, and The Simpsons among others), this book tells the history of how it evolved from a public revenue-raising scheme into a popular private investment and infrastructure financing tool, before it was displaced by cheaper forms of borrowing. Focusing on the early development of the tontine, and with European and North American case studies, the narrative brings to life the story of a little-understood financial innovation.This concise and engaging book is an ideal introduction to the history of the tontine for all readers i

Taylor & Francis Strategic Software Quality Management
Book SynopsisThis book introduces strategic management tools and techniques appropriate for use in software quality management. There has been a gap between strategic management and software quality, and the solutions for solving the problems and improving the software quality usually come from the experience of IT experts: the managerial experience. This book helps people interested in software quality to go beyond the IT technical issues and integrate strategic management tools with their technical knowledge to become more prepared for the future, develop long-term plans for solutions and improvements, take more strategic decisions even when compared with the competitors, and finally, reach sustainable continuous improvements.This book, by bridging software quality management and strategic management, can be used by software quality practitioners for effective results. The software development process is usually studied with regards to its functional aspects and the attempts to improve the quality and performance are mainly concentrated on the technical side. The developers, testers, or engineers search for solutions mostly directed toward a local problem specific to a unit, department, or code. What is often missing is grasping the big image of the problem: the managerial aspect. Even if all the technical staff are doing their tasks as they were planned, there is a vital need for identifying the bottlenecks and the points in need of improvements, alterations, and exclusions, together with tracking the progress and coming up with future strategies. This makes the software quality management activities intertwined with the strategic management concepts where strategic management enhances the quality management with its tools and techniques, and, in return, the software quality management provides the strategic management with insights on the technical issues, resulting in symbiosis. The highly competitive nature of the IT world makes it inevitable to take strategic tools and techniques into account and infuse them into the technical practices of software quality management.This book encompasses the following chapters: analyzing the current situation, identifying the improvement areas, determining the strategies, tracking the progress, and achieving a sustainable improvement.

Taylor & Francis Guiding the Tide
Book SynopsisIn a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, leadership needs to move beyond the agile approach that dominated organizational leadership practices at the end of the 20th century. What is required now for successful leaders is a skillful juxtaposition of proactivity and humility, which we call guiding the tide. Successful leaders of today must demonstrate personal agency in order to guide the tide of events around them rather than have the tide of events sweep them along. The tide, like a river within an ocean akin to a gulf stream, is a unique, ever-changing stream of business systems, technology, consumers, and competitors. This book uses storytelling, examples, and clear, everyday language to blend leading-edge psychological research and leadership practices with the authorsâ own work in coaching, assessing, and developing leaders for three decades around the world.

Taylor & Francis Running the Tapes
Book SynopsisThis practical and accessible exploration of ethics in organizational leadership contains several underlying themes: first, that even the most morally stalwart organizations are vulnerable to the ethical challenges that come from failings of leadership, particularly executive leadership. A great focus today is being paid to the idea of toxic work environments, and while explorations of culture, team building, and language are all valuable pieces of this discussion, at its heart this is a question of leadership. Stripping away authority as a requisite for leadership empowers everyone at all levels of an organization to take a higher level of ownership over their leadership skills, to become a voice of action and protection for their teammates and the organization when the conventional safeguards of the workplace fail them. The common term for these individuals may be whistleblowers, but rather, are they instead models of leadership that organizations should be paying closer attention to? By drawing a constant dividing line between ethics and organizational interests, have we been missing a key middle ground this entire time? By redefining the boundaries of leadership through the lens of how to take action in a hostile workplace environment, this book offers a series of accessible strategies, principles, and examples that can be easily followed regardless of rank or position. Based on his consulting work, the author recounts actual ethical investigations of egregious workplace violations. To make this book even more valuable, the author offers strategies for how to parse grievances from genuine wrongdoings, make decisions about how to handle delicate information, choose allies wisely, and prepare for both the consequences and sometimes benefits of bringing organizational wrongdoings to light. Finally, this book aims to inspire courage, nurture leadership growth at all levels, and offer leaders in positions of power a clear case for why opting for environments of ethical accountability is synonymous, rather than at odds, with an organizationâs self-interest.

Taylor & Francis The New Face of Evaluation and Management
Book SynopsisPhysicians want to care for patients, not spend their time documenting in an electronic medical record. Physicians are always complaining about the amount of time they spend documenting patient care in support of medical billing through an evaluation and management coding system (E/M). New guidelines were created to lessen the time a physician/provider spends on documentation as many of the mandatory elements are no longer a requirement for calculating a code level. Previously an E/M (evaluation and management) note required documentation of history, exam, and medical decision-making with required elements in each component to support a level for payment. If an element was missing, the level of service was not supported; therefore, the code was lowered, resulting in a lower reimbursement for the physician/provider. The new guidelines eliminated the requirement of History and Exam as part of the calculation of a code level. Yes, an appropriate history and exam are required, this supports good patient care, but when it comes to reimbursement, they are no longer part of the picture.The overall system is not difficult, if time is taken to understand the elements and how they are applied in the documentation. Documentation is a âœword gameâ always has been, the authorsâ focus is to show what words to use to lessen the time but still convey the complexity of the patientâs condition, and how the physician/provider determines a treatment plan which includes the risk to the patient to satisfy the Coding guidelines initiated by Medicare and American Medical Association.This book evaluates the new guidelines and brings them into prospective so physicians/providers/coders can easily understand how to document and calculate the level of service for reimbursement. This is not a cumbersome book or complicated, but straight to the point. The main goal of the book is to educate physicians, nurses, and coders on what documentation is really required and what has just become habit over the last 30 years.

Taylor & Francis The Organized and Engaged Supervisor
Book SynopsisBalancing organization and engagement is the cornerstone of a workplace where supervisors and their teams can genuinely thrive. Effective organization goes beyond checking boxes and meeting quotasâitâs about creating an environment where clear direction and supportive leadership enable everyone to do their best work. Supervisors play a pivotal role in this dynamic, navigating their own tasks while guiding their teams and meeting the expectations of clients and higher management. The challenge is maintaining this balance, managing projects, and leading with limited time and resources. Success demands more than good intentions; it requires strong organizational skills to foster harmony, streamline efforts, and reduce stress. However, even the most meticulously organized supervisor canât optimize their teams without veritable engagement. Lasting success comes from integrating structure with human connection.

Taylor & Francis Learn to See the Invisible
Book SynopsisMost improvement consultants say improvement efforts must be led by the CEO, and that is certainly ideal. But the actual reality is most CEOs do not actively drive/guide improvement. They want it to happen, but they focus most of their energy on other issues. According to surveys from Gallup and others, the number one reason people say, I am not engaged is due to the behaviors of their direct boss! Those leaders (in the middle of an organization) have a tremendous amount of leverage; first- and second-line leaders directly touch 80% of the people in their organization. They have a tremendous amount of influence and more power than they might realize. This book focuses on that demographic.This book describes four key foundations and 25 different actions leaders can practice to become more effective in training their eyes to see things tomorrow that are currently invisible. It helps leaders and managers to become better observers of their current reality by practicing getting b

Taylor & Francis Advancing Strategic Sourcing and Healthcare
Book SynopsisThe United States spends more than 17% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, while other developed countries throughout the world average 8.7% of GDP on healthcare expenditures. By 2028, that percentage in the United States is projected to be 19.7% of GDP. Yet all this spending apparently doesnât equate to value, quality, or performance. Among 11 high-income countries, the U.S. healthcare industry ranked last during the past seven years in four key performance categories: administrative efficiency, access to care, equity, and healthcare outcomes. This book centers on ways to bring down skyrocketing healthcare costs and improve comparatively low patient outcomes by focusing on the second-highest cost after staffing in U.S. healthcare: the supply chain. The authors present strategies for aligning the healthcare supply chain, leadership, physicians, and department budget owners to achieve evidence-based value analysis (EVA) and effective strategic sourcing.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a robust argument for an upgrade of the financial system to enable a more sustainable approach. It explores the upcoming debate on a newly modified international financial architecture, facing serial ecological crisis and the advent of new technologies, and which operates in a multipolar world.Instead of business as usual (BAU) scenarios, it explores new, innovative, out of the box approaches in the following arenas: taxonomy and regulation, including capital flow management measures and taxations schemas; financial engineering such as hedging instruments private public partnerships; and polity frameworks e.g. IMF, World Bank, Multilateral development banks, voting quota. It addresses the new role of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the current and upcoming campaign on debt restructuring, as well as the role of new technologies - AI and Blockchain - to tackle illicit financial transactions and fraud, including predictive coding and big DATA correlations. The book focuses on the new role of monetary regulators and central bankers in providing conditioned, additional liquidity to finance, hedge and manage our global commons and to mobilize private capital at the same time, meaning that monetary policy will oversteer fiscal and credit policy in a Bretton Woods II process. The author argues that a new green Bretton Woods 2.0 will provide the agenda to transform our economy and our society, and a Green Transition plan is included in the book.This will serve as a comprehensive reader for students, scholars and activists in the fields of macroeconomics, international development policy, finance and sustainability. It will also appeal to policy makers and executives in the financial sector as well as informed monetary experts.
