Book Description

Learn to Innovate and Make Real Change In our era of disruption and possibility, there are so many great opportunities within your grasp; however, most smart and successful people miss out. Unfortunately, your capabilities are limited by the seven traps of path dependency, which cause you to repeat past decisions. These traps can limit you from seeing the potential of what could be. If you could overcome these traps, what could you accomplish? How much more successful could you be? Create the Future teaches you how to think disruptively, providing specific steps to create real innovation and change. This book combines Jeremy's high energy, provocative thinking with tactics that have been battle-tested through thousands of his team's projects advising leading innovators like Disney, Starbucks, Amex, IBM, Adidas, Google, and NASA. On top of all that, this is a double-sided book, paired with The Innovation Handbook, a revised edition of Jeremy's award-winning book, Exploiting Chaos.

Book Description

“The new cornerstone innovation resource for nurse leaders today! Change is difficult, but this innovation guide is an excellent resource to ensure sustainability for nursing today and for years to come.” -Margo B. Minissian, PhD, ACNP-BC, NEA-BC, FAHA, Executive Director, Geri and Richard Brawerman Nursing Institute, Simms/Mann Family Foundation Endowed Chair in Nurse Education, Innovation and Research, Assistant Professor, Cardiology Cedars-Sinai Medical Center “Transformation in healthcare cannot occur without nurse leaders having an innovation mindset and setting an intentional culture of innovation at their institutions. Dr. Clipper’s book should be one of the go-to resource guides for nurse leaders to infuse this culture of innovation throughout health systems. I hope every nurse leader uses this book and commits to transforming not only their health system but the profession of nursing.” -Marion Leary, MSN, MPH, RN, Director of Innovation, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing The global healthcare ecosystem is in chaos, caught in the convergence of pandemic-induced disruption, residual inequities, burnout, and turnover. Nurse leaders can either succumb to the churn or spot—and seize—a rare opportunity for true transfor­mation. They must thoughtfully consider all aspects of their traditional roles and tack­le trigger topics such as staffing, schedul­ing, value-based care, outcome tracking, and more. Informed, empowered nurses can re-envision roles, integrate technolo­gies, and develop new models to deliver the highest level of patient care. The Innovation Handbook is a pragmatic guide and toolkit that seeks to enlighten nurse leaders as they evolve through the current crisis. Author Bonnie Clipper explains concepts and equips nurses with a knowledge foundation that enhances their innovation skill set, spurs ideas and creativity, and challenges them to think differently and apply new concepts. On the cusp of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a better future for nursing and healthcare, this book gives nurses the tools to meet the moment! TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: The Current State of Nursing and the Need to Transform Chapter 2: Speaking the Same Language Chapter 3: Culture as the Foundation of Innovation Chapter 4: Leadership in Turbulent Times Chapter 5: Creating a Future-Facing Care Model Chapter 6: Leadership Tools for Transformation Chapter 7: Leveraging Technology on Our Teams Chapter 8: Conclusion

Book Description

Innovation is the lifeline of national development. This handbook is a collection of chapters that provide techniques and methodologies for achieving the transfer of defense-targeted science and technology development for general industrial applications. The handbook shows how to translate theory and ideas into practical applications. Experts from national defense institutions, government laboratories, business, and industry contributed chapters to this handbook. The handbook also serves as an archival guide for nations, communities, and businesses expecting to embark upon science and technology transfer to industry. Included are several domestic and international case examples of practical innovation. Since the dawn of history, nations have engrossed themselves in developing new tools, techniques, and methodologies to protect their geographical boundaries. From the crude implements used by prehistorical people to very modern technologies, the end game has been the same. That is, to protect the homeland. Even in times of peace, efforts must be made to develop new machinery, equipment, processes, and devices targeted for the protection of the nation. The emergence of organized nations and structured communities facilitated even more innovative techniques of national defense. Evolution, revolution, and innovation have defined human existence for millennia. From the Ice Age to the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and to the modern age, innovation, rudimentary as it may be in many cases, has determined how humans move from one stage to the next. This comprehensive handbook provides a clear guide on the nuances of initiating and actualizing innovation. Both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of innovation are covered in the handbook. Features: Uses a systems framework to zero in on science and technology transfer Focuses on leveraging technical developments in defense organizations for general societal applications Coalesces the transfer strategies collated from various sources and practical applications Represents a world-class diverse collection of science and technology development, utilization, and transfer Highlights a strategy for government, academia, and industry partnerships
