We can develop a new performance culture that is based on fun and positivity and deeply rooted in values by studying Norwegian success Anders Indset impressively shows what leaders in business and politics, as well as society as a whole, can learn from the Norse Code, and vividly illustrates how a new, value-based performance culture can become a reality. Erling Haaland, Karsten Warholm, Casper Ruud, and Victor Hovland - these are just a few of the Norwegian athletes who have climbed to the top of the world's most popular sports overnight. This is not a coincidence, but the result of what Anders Indset describes as the 'Norse.' This book reveals the secrets of Norwegian success and tells of a performance culture that is not only at home in sports but is deeply rooted in Norwegian values. It deals with the apparent contradictions between high performance and purpose, highlighting why performance is important and, above all, can be fun.

Build your legacy to have an impact and make the world a better place The fourth in Harry Kraemer's series of values-based leadership books, Your Values-Based Legacy: Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life takes you on a journey of introspection and exploration to see how and where you can help make the world a better place. Former chairman and CEO of a multi-billion-dollar global healthcare company and now Professor of Management and Strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, Kraemer features first-hand accounts from dozens of people who are building legacies as they take on the biggest challenges on the planet, including poverty, hunger, inequality, climate and environmental change, education, and leadership development. From local projects within the community to leaving a global footprint for good, Your Values-Based Legacy captures the heart of what it means to care for others. It starts with the conscious choices you make in your life--right here, right now. With inspiring stories and compelling questions for self-reflection, Kraemer guides you along a path to the realization that we cannot wait for someone else--"those guys" (a gender neutral term) who have influence and resources--to solve the problems of the world. As Kraemer writes, "You are those guys!" The book is organized around legacy as a continuum. In Part 1, Honoring Our Past, you explore the influences in your life--from family to teachers and role models. In Part 2, Celebrating Our Present, you reflect on the causes, challenges, and opportunities that resonate with you--and hear from others who are making a positive impact. In Part 3, Creating Our Future, you consider how to make your legacy sustainable, such as by passing the torch to the next generation. Your Values-Based Legacy: Making a Difference at Every Age and Phase of Life is for everyone who wants to find and express their purpose by making a difference to others--whether in their neighborhood or around the world.

Current perspectives on approaches to problem structuring in operational research and engineering and prospects for problem structuring methods applicable to a wide range of practice. Bridging between operational research (OR) and engineering practice, Problem Structuring: Methodology in Practice is grounded in the emergence of soft OR and its development over time as a distinctively new field, broadening the scope of OR to deal with issues of transforming, strategising, and planning in the context of wicked problems. The book is centred on a methodological framing of intervention processes known as problem structuring methods (PSMs) and the techniques presented are suitable for practitioners across a broad range of disciplines. Written by a highly qualified professor of engineering and management, Problem Structuring: Methodology in Practice contains four linked sections that cover: Problem formulation when dealing with wicked problems, justification for a methodological approach, the emergence of soft OR, the relevance of pragmatic philosophy to OR practice. Traces debates and issues in OR leading to the emergence of soft OR, comparative analysis of PSMs leading to a generic framework for soft OR practice, addressing practical considerations in delivering PSM interventions. Charts the emergence of a problem structuring sensibility in engineering practice, introduces a new PSM based on hierarchical process modelling (HPM) supported by teaching and case studies, makes the case for a processual turn in engineering practice supported by HPM with relevance to OR practice. Evaluation of PSM interventions, survey of applications, use of group support systems, new developments supported by machine learning, recontextualising soft OR practice. Problem Structuring: Methodology in Practice is a thought-provoking and highly valuable resource relevant to all "students of problems." It is suitable for any UK Level 7 (or equivalent) programme in OR, engineering, or applied social science where a reflective, methodological approach to dealing with wicked problems is an essential requirement for practice.

"The world is a very unpleasant place for customers. They no longer feel special. They no longer feel heard. And they definitely no longer feel valued. Throughout their daily lives, with emotions ranging from disappointment and disbelief to exasperation and rage, customers today are increasingly being forced to endure unprecedented levels of friction, effort, and "pain" in far too many of their interactions with companies. Whether it is being bombarded with intrusive marketing emails, soldiering through the emotional trauma of vacation-destroying airline cancellations or suffering through the indignities of inhospitable hospitality in hotels, restaurants, and hospitals, customers are right to feel that many companies are taking them for granted, treating them with indifference or hostility, and in some cases, outright contempt. Welcome to the End of WOW."--
