DOWNLOAD EBOOKImagine a world with zero limitations on your ability. Imagine a life of blissful fulfillment where all your wildest dreams and aspirations are now past accomplishments. Imagine the ideal existence for yourself with an eternal abundance of love, happiness, and thriving prosperity. According to the laws of physics, specifically the law of relativity, the human mind is incapable of comprehending something it cannot relate to something else. Therefore, all things existing in the imagination must correlate directly to something real and possible. Richard Corey reveals the key to turn possibility into reality in The Blueprint. Modern society imposes false limitations on what is realistic and what is possible. Many times, an individual's subjective ideas of their own personal fulfillment are left unrealized due to these false fears of impossibility. However, no dream is too big, and all things capable of being imagined are possible. This book uses the story of a fictional character created over one hundred years ago to instill within the reader's core belief system an idea of unlimited greatness and ability, a character trait shared by all of God's children alike yet commonly forgotten. If there is a gap between your current reality and the ideal existence in your imagination, this strategy is for you. Using the principles of mathematics and deductive logic, the reader learns to engineer a strategic and structured plan of action for bridging that gap. Throughout history, mankind has uncovered certain principles and truths about God, the universe, and life, all of which become integral components to an overall formula, a formula for fulfilling one's purpose. We are all truly great and have the ability to accomplish anything we undoubtedly believe in. The Blueprint simply shows us how. Redefine your abilities to succeed with a mathematical certainty. Learn to bridge the gap between current reality and your ideal existence, accomplishing your purpose and finding fulfillment in life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn The Focused Organization Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez shows you how fewer, more effectively elected and managed projects are the key to strategic and long-term success. Using his own research and work experience he explains how and why those organizations that focus on just a few key initiatives can perform significantly better than unfocused organizations, not only financially but also in achieving their strategic objectives and motivating their staff. The author introduces a new way of looking at a company through two very different and often conflicting dimensions: running-the-business and changing-the-business. What you add to one dimension you have to subtract from the other one. Finding the right balance between these two dimensions represents one of the major challenges to successful strategy execution. Becoming a focused organization involves a radical change in the way companies are organized and the way they select and manage projects - the creation of a new culture. The Focused Organization discusses the characteristics that comprise a focused organization. It describes key areas where a focused organization builds its levels of maturity; provides examples of focused organizations that outperform the rest; and explains in practical steps how all enterprises can become focused. The book finishes with a unique and inspiring case study that transports us to the early days of the current business world. Through the main character, Benny White, we learn how a business was conducted and how management evolved over decades with the introduction of business theories, including project management.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHoshin is a system which was developed in Japan in the 1960's, and is a derivative of Management By Objectives (MBO). It is a Management System for determining the appropriate course of action for an organization, and effectively accomplishing the relevant actions and results. Having recognized the power of this system, Beyond Strategic Vision tailors the Hoshin system to fit the culture of North American and European organizations. It is a "how-to" guide to the Hoshin method for executives, managers, and any other professionals who must plan as part of their normal job. The management of an organization, whether it be large or small, has as one of its principal responsibilities setting the direction of the organization for the future. The most effective way to set the future direction is to develop a shared vision of what the organization will be in the future, contrast it to the way the organization is now, and then to create a plan for bridging the gap: the Strategic Plan. Beyond Strategic Vision shows you how to do this effectively and efficiently. Michael Cowley has been a teacher and practitioner of management and strategic planning methodologies since 1972.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCollective Vision: Igniting District and School Improvement describes a school district’s 10-year journey of transformation. It began with the creation of a district-wide shared vision, mission, and values, using an appreciative inquiry process that engaged all stakeholders in the school district, thus establishing shared ownership and responsibility for the outcomes. The book demonstrates how the power of a collective vision and collaborative inquiry across a system helps establish a district-wide culture of collective efficacy, resulting in improved outcomes. In the field of education promising practices are sometimes discarded before improvements can be observed and schools are often charged with the responsibility for improvement without being given enough support or guidance from the district. This story describes how continuous inquiry and district support for promising practices led to significant improvement and transformation. The book serves as a practical guide that provides useful “lessons learned” and questions for self-reflection throughout. Educators at all levels of the system will be inspired to take action toward district and school improvement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 9th Highway and Urban Environment Symposium (9HUES) was held in Madrid, Spain, from 9-11 June 2008. HUES is run by Chalmers University of Technology within the Alliance for Global Sustainability (The AGS). HUES was initiated by Professor Ron Hamilton at Middlesex Polytechnic (now University) in the early 1980s and had the title "Highway Pollution". The initial aim was to measure and assess challenges in highway pollution, with a strong emphasis on urban photochemical smog, ozone formation and particle release. After the first symposium, the emphasis on air pollution issues continued through to Munich in 1989 where diesel particulate issues and the relevance to health through measurements of PM10 emerged. The focus on air quality issues was also strengthened. In parallel, the symposium started to receive an increasing number of scientific contributions from the area of urban run off, indeed to the extent that the title of the symposium was changed to "Highway and Urban Pollution". Since then the importance of science in support of policy became increasingly important as a key aspect of the symposium. 9HUES was held at TRANSyT- Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain to provide a professional and scientific forum on global examples of the science required to support pathways to a positive and sustainable future in the highway and urban environment.
