You’ve heard the promises of data: if you just unlock the hidden insights, you can win an unfair game. But for people at most companies, friction prevents data from flowing effortlessly into decisions. Technology alone won’t make the connection for you. Neither will finding more data; you’ve already got plenty. To connect data with decisions, you’ll need to reverse the way data flows through all your systems and decisions.If you’re a business decision-maker – a CEO, CIO, or CxO – you’ll see the connection between a data strategy and the thousands of decisions people in your company make every day. If you’re a data worker, you’ll see how your work changes the direction of a company. And if you’re an analyst – someone who bridges the gap between top-level decision makers and what’s really happening in the business – you’ll find a new vision of how to use data to transform your job and your company.Instead of new technology offering tired promises to make your job easier, you’ll find management solutions for better, faster decisions. Unified data flowing through your company, to everyone at the same time, improving business decisions through alignment and visibility, trust and scale.That’s Frictionless Decision Data.

Leading Together: Unlocking Relational Leadership Mastery explores the shifts in workplace dynamics and leadership paradigms in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. The book reveals how traditional hierarchical models fall short in addressing modern organizational challenges and argues for a leadership approach focused on collective efforts and deep, authentic relationships through Relational Leadership theory.Grounded in rigorous academic research and practical insights, this book is a hands-on guide for leaders seeking to build engaging, high-performing cultures. The relational leadership model, highlighted in this book, moves beyond outdated leader-follower manager-subordinate dynamics, advocating for leadership as a shared process where all stakeholders feel valued, and feel the company adds value to them rather than just expecting it from them.In a world reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, technological advancements, and shifting labor dynamics—where The Great Resignation, massive turnover, Quiet Hiring, worsening engagement, rising toxic cultures, and demands for psychological safety at workplace dominate discussions—the book offers insights for leaders to navigate uncertainty, foster positive, trust-based cultures, and achieve sustainable success.

Deception and Financial Mayhem explores whether the corporate psychopath accountant can be identified, modeled, and ultimately constrained.This book extensively discusses accounting fraud, including recent accounting scandals, and its relationship with Corporate Governance. Major accounting fraud models, including The Fraud Triangle, are examined and the lens of The Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy) is also presented to better understand the perpetrators of accounting fraud.Utilizing the Levenson’s Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, a multiple regression model known as the 'Corporate Psychopath Equation' is proposed to potentially identify psychopathic tendencies in accountants and auditors. The foundational aspects of blockchain technology are covered along with its potential to prevent accounting fraud.The authors outline automation technologies and 'People-Centric Approaches’, including the Sheikh Maniar Crowe Anti-Fraud Culture Builder–which can potentially foster an ethical culture and deter accounting fraud until the blockchain technology becomes ubiquitous. Finally, perpetual vigilance is advised, even as the specter of the corporate psychopath accountant may diminish.

Some are unicorns (valued at one or more billion dollars): Spanx, Rent the Runway, Dollar Shave Club, GymShark, Gousto, Athletic Greens, Havaianas, etc.Others are in the multitude of millions: Knix, Drop Stop, Pouchee, Lisa Gable Accessories, Readerest, SafeGrabs, Chawel and so on.This book presents what is common among hundreds of such innovations, shared by all in a sequence of steps called the PISA method.So, in a certain sense this book was written by those entrepreneurs who achieved financial independence and changed the lives of others by solving complexity through simplicity.That is the quiet revolution underway which falls below the radar and therefore is an untold story.

The service process design landscape is rapidly evolving, with technology-enabled innovations allowing the service provider to create a more personalized service experience and customers to take a more active role in the service process.Designing Service Processes to Unlock Value was written to help you understand the opportunities (and challenges) for value creation in this dynamic environment. You will learn about approaches for designing all types of service processes, as well as the unique challenges of designing knowledge-intensive services. And because service performance outcomes are dependent on the knowledge, skills, and abilities—that is, capabilities of both service providers and customers, the book concludes with strategies for unlocking these capabilities to further boost value co-creation.This edition was being revised when artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) was being embedded in more and more service processes ranging from knowledge-intensive professional services to transactional services we engage with every day.Much like the COVID-19 global pandemic, AI and other developing technologies such as robots, extended reality, digital twins, Internet of Things, and other smart technologies, will continue to have profound impacts on how services are designed, delivered, and experienced by service providers and customers, as well as the communities and world in which we live.This edition includes new and updated examples of technology-enabled innovations that provide unprecedented flexibility in service process design and continue to transform how service providers and customers co-produce services. At the same time, you will see how these and other service innovations can have important—and sometimes surprising—impacts on the benefit and cost trade-offs and synergies that determine value co-creation.

Quantum technology interest is accelerating for two key reasons: first, quantum technologies promise transformative capabilities. Indeed, quantum computing is seen as a strategic necessity by the world’s leading economies. Second, experts unanimously agree that a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer will have the capability to break classical encryption that keeps our data and transactions private.

Different enterprises have reacted differently to the generative AI hype. The real value of generative AI lies in the scaled adoption. Only 10 percent of the enterprises have been able to scale. A staggering 90 percent of them are lagging. This has caused a “huge gap” between the scaling and lagging firms. Closing this huge gap is a daunting task.To bridge this gap, enterprises must be operationally ready in the following four areas:CustomerTechnologyDataPeopleThis book contains the operational readiness framework, providing step-by-step guidance to enterprises to prepare themselves for the scaled adoption of generative AI.Although the framework is primarily for the executives, leaders, managers, consultants, strategists, and transformation drivers at the lagging firms, the scaling firms can use it to assess their current operational readiness levels and mitigate the prevailing gaps. It can also provide useful insights to the entrepreneurs in the generative AI value chain to develop unique solutions.

Every lesson is grounded in experience. It’s a practical book full of insider analyses, observations and lessons from start-up cases where the author was “in the room.”This book describes the real start-up process – not the one described by pundits or the uninitiated – followed by the steps necessary to cut through the articles, books and TED talks about how to “do” start-ups. Start-Ups DECLASSIFIED is a playbook for entrepreneurs.Start-Ups DECLASSIFIED says the quiet things out loud. The book is about increasing the probability of success.

Every organization will experience a crisis. Some will be mild; others will be severe. All will experience the unexpected. Few will experience the TOTALLY UNEXPECTED NEGATIVE EVENTS–the BULL SHARK events. These events can only be dreamed of – in a nightmare. They arise out of some deep part of an organization that believes it has things under control, much as Bull Sharks arise out of completely unexpected freshwater river to thrash and kill its prey.Too many organizations never plan for any kind of crisis. They don’t identify their vulnerabilities, typically obvious ones. A Bull Shark event is different, it’s insidious. It lies deep beneath the surface, defying imagination and totally unexpected, causing chaos and havoc, threatening the life of the organization that it attacks.However, even a Bull Shark event can be imagined. But it takes a commitment to freeing people’s imaginations and then planning for these totally unlikely events. This handbook offers the insights that will help organizations go beyond the obvious to the events that make no sense when they happen and disrupt organizations to the core, the Bull Shark events. It does this with examples of Bull Shark events, techniques to unearth your potential Bull Sharks, and techniques to deal with them when they arise. Read this book so you will know how to handle even the worst crises.

Tools are provided for conducting in-depth, detailed analyses of each part of a firm’s value creation system and its contribution to the total stakeholder value created by the firm.

In addition, detailed implementation tools are provided to ensure that strategies are carried out successfully. This book provides a concise yet complete guide for strategic management.

Why do we continue to struggle with data? With all the powerful tools we have in processing power, data tools, and computer programming, we still search for some elusive truth to pervasive problems. AI hallucinates, 'good data' that we started with is suddenly unintelligible, systems that should talk to each other seamlessly continually experience errors and need correction.What we fail to incorporate into our data world is the fact that data is language and has entwined in that language its own code that does not get captured in databases, APIs, LLMs and the systems we use day in and day out. So, how can we crack this data code?By stepping back, we can incorporate the tools that already exist in applied linguistics used to crack the human language code into our approaches in how we tackle the data code challenge. Just because we call it data doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suffer from bias or the need for context. But by recognizing these linguistic challenges, and infusing that inside the data, we can create data code that can be cracked, data that tells us its biases, context, and purpose, and for who that data is actually useful to, and for whom it is not.If you are interested in data, and why understanding language and jargon can help you crack the data code, this book is for you. If you’ve had a data challenge and have struggled to find a way to understand it, the practical foundational principles inside can help you frame your problem in a different way.
