Paperback. Zustand: Good. In their crusade to modernise public services, New Labour are giving vast amounts of taxpayers' money to management and IT systems consultants. They are everywhere - the Inland Revenue, MoD, Education Department, NHS and Downing Street. But are these management wizards giving us schools and hospitals that will be the envy of the world, or are they just siphoning off billions that should have been spent on the frontline services? And the biggest and most expensive consulting catastrophe of them all may still be yet to come - up to GBP 30 billion taken out of patient care to pay for the new NHS computer system. Isn't it time to ask how our money is really being spent.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Silicon Valley is recognized globally as a hotbed of innovation and entrepreneurship. It's the birthplace of world-famous companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook and home to a few legends such as NASA at the Ames Research Center. Our 16 authors have created 16 high-impact chapters that can give you and your business the Silicon Valley advantage.Why is Silicon Valley such an entrepreneurial place? A major contributor to the phenomenon is our diversity--half of us don't speak English at home. But our diversity goes far beyond ethnicity. A wide variety of perspectives, thinking styles, and work approaches also contributes to the magic of Silicon Valley, creating breakthroughs that have disrupted business models (Airbnb and Lyft) and even shifted our perception of the future of meat (the Impossible Burger).We're also one of the most educated regions in the US--nearly half of us graduated college, and about a fifth have earned graduate degrees. Businesses here are filled with smart, well-educated, experienced people. But like all organizations made up of human beings, we are subject to the same pitfalls that threaten companies everywhere.Many businesses that were successful 100 years ago no longer exist. Trapped by their own success, they gradually learned to reduce risk and avoid failure at all costs and consequently squelched or killed innovation and creativity. This made them vulnerable to competition from new or more aggressive companies with less to lose. Are your greatest contributions and successes behind you or ahead of you? Even brilliant people can underperform--or fail--for entirely predictable (and avoidable ) reasons.Similar hazards face successful executives, professionals, and leaders of every kind. One danger of success is the increased difficulty of recognizing and adjusting to shifts in the business environment. No one knows this better than the former leaders of Nokia and Kodak, two once-great brands that ignored the timeless wisdom that a peak always conceals a treacherous valley.It can be hard to see new possibilities that will allow future success, especially when it requires letting go of previously effective strategies that served you well. This is where the outside perspective of a consultant can be particularly useful. Our 16 authors offer you a competitive advantage in the business world and an alternative to that treacherous valley.Dive into the Silicon Valley magic by reading one of our chapters. As a result, you'll understand why in this amazing center of innovation, failures are called prototypes, the impossible is merely difficult, and dreams become reality.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Consultant's Code will help separate you from all of the other consultants by showing you how to properly develop and use the four pillars of success. The four pillars are intelligence, effort, likeability and intent. Each pillar is discussed in detail and shows how common misconceptions that have been taught or believed has been holding consultants back. These misconceptions and inaccurate beliefs not only affect the consultants they negatively affect clients. Understanding that intelligence can be developed as well as knowing the different types of intelligence, consultants can use their natural skills to improve their careers. Also being aware of the different types of intelligence a consultant can identify deficiencies that may be holding them back, develop those capabilities and use it to be more efficient and effective. This awareness also improves relationships as we better understand other capabilities and how those skills are required to have an effective team. Effort is required for anyone to be successful, however many people are taught to work hard rather than put in focused effort. Also consultants are taught to put in billable hours regardless if these hours are focused and efficient. Focused effort allows a consultant to be more efficient in their learning, consulting hours and other activities. Living a full life is based in having focused and concerted effort in what we do each day. Likeability may be the most forgotten of all of the pillars by most consultants. Consultants are commonly taught to develop technical skills believing that all clients want are technical results. However the issues clients face are human based issues. The solutions may be technical as well as other forms of solutions, but the problems always affect a human being. Therefore likeability is critical for the success of a consultant. The Consultant's Code discusses methods of developing likeability as well as ways that likeability can be eroded through thoughtless activities that commonly occur on many client engagements. The final pillar is Intent. Intent is the act of having a purpose to what you are doing and having the tenacity and persistence to battle through the difficult hurdles. Due to the nature of temporary engagements consultants can often get away with little to no intent as their client relationships will come to and end. This is inaccurate thinking and can lead to lost profits and many strained relationships. Using intent will improve a consultants career and their relationships which can result in higher earnings, more gratifying, rewarding and challenging opportunities. The Consultant's Code discusses what consultants can do to develop more intent and have a more fulfilling career.…
