Taylor & Francis ARRIVE
Book SynopsisThis book is an excellent best-practice guide for senior managers and directors with innovation responsibilities. It describes how organisations of all sizes and sectors can apply design thinking principles, coupled with commercial awareness, to their innovation agenda. It explains how to keep the customer experience at the centre of innovation efforts and when to apply the range of available practices. It provides a clear, extensive rationale for all advice and techniques offered.Design thinking has become the number one innovation methodology for many businesses, but there has been a lack of clarity about how best to adopt it. It often requires significant mindset and behavioural changes and managers must have a coherent and integrated understanding in order to guide its adoption effectively. Many design thinking implementations are inadequate or sub-optimal through focusing too much on details of individual methods or being too abstract, with ill-defined objectives. TTrade Review"The corporate world has long needed – and much anticipated – a thoughtful treatise on the ways in which strategy and design thinking can (and should) work together. With the new book by Devitt, Ryan and Vaugh, I am happy to see that it has finally ARRIVEd!" - Jeanne Liedtka, Professor of Business Administration, Darden Business School at the University of Virginia."In a world of hyper change and complexity where being innovative is the difference between success and failure, this book is a must read. For leaders responsible for innovation that need a comprehensive understanding of design innovation, as well as the practical tools to apply, this has it all to ensure your innovations deliver the right value to your users and market again and again." - Mark Brennan, Vice President Software Development, SAP Labs Ireland."I really liked your book and can't wait to buy it. It was well worth waiting for it." - Raomal Perera, Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship INSEAD (Paris), Serial Entrepreneur, Consultant."This is a game changer publication in creating a more practical ‘how to’ process, building solidly on Design Thinking and packaged as ARRIVE. It offers a new and critical business-strategic alignment as its fourth pillar aligned with human desirability, technical feasibility and business viability. The impact of this makes ARRIVE a powerful tool in mitigating the biggest risks we all have of bringing the wrong idea to market and, equally, failing to change habits and behaviours of our teams." - Sean McNulty, founder and Chair of the Board at Dolmen Design, Ireland. Ex-Chair of the Technical Committee on Innovation Management at the National Standards Authority of Ireland."This is an easy-to-read, well-structured, logical and well-illustrated labour of love. It certainly is a very comprehensive tome. As I read through I asked myself would I read this from start to finish or would I use it as a reference book when engaging in a specific piece of work? The answer is that I would use it for both. While the target audience is at a senior level in companies I could see it having a very wide appeal at many levels including people just at the start of their journey. Well done on a lovely publication." - Stephen Hughes, Enterprise Ireland, Head of Consumer."ARRIVE offers a memorable and meaningful framework for applying design thinking to innovation projects and embedding a growth mindset in innovative organisations. We’ve seen it used to guide experienced innovators and newcomers alike as they adopt the new ways of working to put user-experience at the centre of their work. The book describes clearly how ARRIVE helps understanding and guides implementation, as well as including detailed instruction on 35 methods. It’s a great resource for all innovation leaders." - Denis Hayes, Managing Director, Industry Research and Development Group (IRDG)."The corporate world has long needed – and much anticipated – a thoughtful treatise on the ways in which strategy and design thinking can (and should) work together.

Taylor & Francis Creating a Culture of Predictable Outcomes
Book SynopsisCreating a Culture of Predictable Outcomes demonstrates the importance of creating cultures in the design and construction industries grounded in sophisticated-caring leadership, high-performing collaborative teams, and master-level decision-making discipline, informed by values, to finally address massive inefficiencies, waste, and unpredictability. Barbara White Bryson offers specific guidance to industry stakeholders to succeed in achieving project-related predictable outcomes by focusing on culture rather than process. This includes selecting the right team members by hiring and firing bravely, valuing psychological safety, leading with values, practicing respect and transparency, fostering empowerment to make decisions at the right level at the right time, and more.This book is a must-read for design and construction professionals who want to finally understand how to set goals and meet those goals for their clients as well as for their teams. Trade ReviewIn her straightforward manner, Barbara White Bryson speaks directly to the fundamental misses inhibiting the built environment industry from firing on all cylinders. A blend of in-depth domain knowledge and relatable storytelling, Creating a Culture of Predictable Outcomes will stand as foundational to the professions for years to come. - David G. Gilmore, President & CEO, DesignIntelligenceWorking with Barbara on the Rice Bioscience Research Collaborative was one of the best project experiences our team at SOM has had. Her real-world experiences, including senior academic and strategic leadership, as well as being an architect with an MBA and Doctorate in Higher Education, make Barbara uniquely adept at describing comprehensive and highly effective strategies with analogous references that are clear, engaging and memorable. - Carrie Byles, FAIA, LEED BD+C, Partner SOM"Predictability is power." There are no truer words spoken than this premise from Barbara White Bryson’s illuminating and strategic book, particularly in a time of chaos and mismanagement. Barbara’s book is an imminently useful read for firm leaders at any phase in their careers. Universally, business, design and engineering schools will use this book to demonstrate predictability as the active decision-making model we need. - James Timberlake, FAIA, Architect/Partner, Kieran Timberlake, PhiladelphiaCreating a Culture of Predictable Outcomes packs a powerful message while forging a new path for the industry, one that is more nimble, adaptable and resilient. Bryson’s list outlining twenty disruptions that will impact our future is alone worth the price of the book. As we’ve all witnessed, unexpected things happen – this book is here just in time to help! - Randy Deutsch, Author of Superusers (Routledge, 2019)Table of Contents1. Predictability is Power 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Managing Projects at Work
Book SynopsisThis book is written for all managers, in any function, who are tasked with delivering projects at work. It is of particular interest to those managers who have to deal with small- to medium-sized projects in addition to their usual responsibilities. Straightforward and user friendly, this book takes the reader through a series of steps which results in the effective delivery of a project. Managing Projects at Work breaks down into two stages. By the end of stage one the reader will know how to build a 'Defensible Plan' for successful project implementation. This process, which follows a step-by-step sequence, draws out in a unique way all the resources and support needed for an effective project delivery. The outcome is a confident project manager who can justify and secure what is needed for the stress-free implementation of the project. Stage two deals with implementing the 'Defensible Plan' under proper control, through motivated and well-led people.
