Maybe you are a manufacturer and implemented some Lean Manufacturing in your operational areas... Or you are a contractor, and are trying to deploy some solid Lean Project Management and Lean Planning in order to run more efficiently and effectively your contracts... Or, even greater, you have decided to restructure your organisation and embark in a company-wide Lean Management project..... Very positive indeed.

An annotated version of my talk on Designing the Future from dConstruct 2015 in Brighton, delivered on 11th September. The talk explores the danger with living in a Superhero-saturated culture, lessons we can draw from Interstellar, and expanded ideas on what Metadesign, designing ways in which design can evolve by itself, can be viewed and put into practice.
A talk comprised of various threads of thought from various Smithery projects across the last eighteen months, given at the open house at Loft Digital as part of London Technology Week. Starts with some conceptual thinking, ends with some examples and approaches for you to try at home...

An amusing and fascinating description of the human race, this book delves into the systematic analysis of people and their primary characteristics. It is based on the concept that there are five main personality types. Every type can be identified on sight, and recognition of personalities is centered solely around physical appearance. This science of character recognition is explained in precise terms that are broad enough to relate to. Virtually anyone can connect with and believe in the theory.
This description of human analysis focuses on the idea that every individual fits a certain mold. The elemental traits of each person can be recognized by his or her body shape and physical attributes. This publication details the importance of understanding oneself as well as the necessity of relating to others. It explains that instantly reading a person’s physical characteristics leads to awareness, which may promote healthier, more successful relationships.
A keynote for the 2015 We are Museums Conference in Berlin, Germany.
Museums… why should we care? Much has been written about the changes our culture is experiencing as institutions that once held a place of primary esteem have now somehow become less important than they once were. Museums are at the crux of this change and are wondering how we might preserve and bottle the relevance we hold with our audiences. At the same time, we find that relevance to be changing, ephemeral, and eroding.
How should museums answer these fundamental questions about our impact and why we matter at all? When challenged to defend the public investment and trust that we have stewarded for so many years, are we prepared to give a good account?
In this talk, Rob will expand on his seminal article about museum impact, Museums… So What? and will provide new insights and opportunities for museums to look towards to document and demonstrate actual real impact that museums provide and the tangible benefits museums can bring to their communities.
“Museums… so what?” will follow up on his much discussed article from the CODE|WORDS series on Medium.

Evaluating a Sluggish Economy with Bruce YandleMercatus Center
In the first half of 2016, the US economy skirted close to recession territory but so far has registered positive growth. What are the major forces that seem to be driving the slow-growth economy? Is the economy getting stronger? Or, will we hit recession territory before the end of the year?
The Affordable Care Act fundamentally changed the landscape of the U.S. health care system. With more than five years since the law’s passage, questions remain about how to fix a system that remains broken despite recent reform efforts. Did the Affordable Care Act adequately reform a failing health system, or did that prescription only treat the symptoms of a much larger illness?
With nearly a trillion dollars at stake and draft legislation in development, now is the time for policymakers to free spectrum for innovative 21st century use. In order for 21st century technologies like the sharing economy and the Internet of Things to reach their full potential, and drive economic opportunity, more spectrum must be made available. Federal spectrum reallocation is a win-win-win scenario for the economy, social well-being, and the government.

Modernizing Freight Rail Regulation: Recommendations from the TRB StudyMercatus Center
In June 2015, the National Academy of Sciences’ Transportation Research Board issued a report with recommendations to update and modernize economic regulation of rail freight transportation. Jerry Ellig served as a member of the committee that prepared the report. This presentation, given to the National Industrial Transportation League’s Railroad Transportation Committee in November 2015, summarizes the report’s main recommendations. For a short narrative that explains the recommendations, see Dr. Ellig’s commentary in Real Clear Policy.
Modernizing the SSDI Eligibility Criteria: Trends in Demographics and Labor M...Mercatus Center
Social Security Disability Insurance program outlays have increased rapidly, roughly doubling in real terms over the past fifteen years.Participation in program (as % of labor-force) has doubled over the past twenty years. Determining the cause of this rapid rate of growth is essential for setting the program on a sustainable, long-term responsible path.
How Can Policymakers and Regulators Better Engage the Internet of Things? Mercatus Center
The world today is seemingly always plugged into the Internet and technologies are constantly sharing data about our personal and professional lives. Device connectivity is on an upward trend with Cisco estimating that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. Collection and data sharing by these devices introduces a host of new vulnerabilities, raising concerns about safety, security, and privacy for policymakers and regulators.
Amid concerns about government data security, like the recent OPM breach, Congress is considering cybersecurity information sharing legislation. But will a new information sharing program bolster federal information security? If not, what should be done instead?
Tools for Tracking the Economic Impact of LegislationMercatus Center
Laws passed by Congress impact the economy, but Congress has no systematic way to comprehensively track and assess the economic impact of legislative actions. This is especially difficult when laws empower federal agencies to regulate. While the current budget process scores and tracks the economic impact of spending and taxes, it does not account for the economic consequences of regulation.
The Sharing Economy: Perspectives on Policies in the New EconomyMercatus Center
The sharing economy’s rapid rise has transformed how many people work and live, from commuting, shopping, eating, vacationing, and even borrowing money. Firms like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb seem to be grabbing headlines on a daily basis as they grow into billion-dollar ventures, disrupt local businesses, and create new policy questions for regulators.
To help shed light on these issues, the Mercatus Center at George Mason University invites you to join Research Fellow Christopher Koopman for a Capitol Hill Campus presentation examining the economics and policy issues surrounding the sharing economy.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

22. Most people are common men. They do not have
thoughts of their own; they only receive. They do not
create new ideas; they repeat what they have heard
and imitate what they have seen. If the world were
peopled only by such as these, there would not be
any change and any history.
What produces change is new ideas and actions
guided by them. What distinguishes one group from
another is the effect of such innovations. These
innovations are not accomplished by a group mind;
they are always the achievement of individuals.

23. [W]orking within an established field is both
empowering and restricting at the same time. Stay
within the boundaries of your discipline, and you
will have an easier time making incremental
improvements, opening the doors of the adjacent
possible that are directly available to you given the
specifics of the historical moment. But those
disciplinary boundaries can also serve as blinders,
keeping you from the bigger ideas that become
visible only when you cross those borders.

The difficulty lies, not in the
new ideas, but in escaping
from the old ones, which
ramify, for those brought up
as most of us have been,
into every corner of our
minds.

Employment, Interest, and Money. London:

25. Capitalism, then, is by nature a form or method of economic
change and not only never is but never can be stationary. And
this evolutionary character of the capitalist process is not
merely due to the fact that economic life goes on in a social and
natural environment which changes and by its change alters the
data of economic action; this fact is important and these
changes (wars, revolutions and so on) often condition industrial
change, but they are not its prime movers. Nor is this
evolutionary character due to a quasi-automatic increase in
population and capital or to the vagaries of monetary systems,
of which exactly the same thing holds true.
The fundamental impulse that sets and keeps the capitalist
engine in motion comes from the new consumers, goods, the
new methods of production or transportation, the new markets,
the new forms of industrial organization that capitalist
enterprise creates.

26. Is it being connected to

27. Brilliant people, be they anthropologists, psychologists or economists,
assume that brilliance is the key to human achievement. They vote
for the cleverest people to run governments, they ask the cleverest
experts to devise plans for the economy, they credit the cleverest
scientists with discoveries, and they speculate on how human
intelligence evolved in the first place.
They are all barking up the wrong tree. The key to human
achievement is not individual intelligence at all.
Human achievement is based on collective intelligence - the nodes in
the human neural network are people themselves. By each doing one
thing and getting good at it, then sharing and combining the results
through exchange, people become capable of doing things they do
not even understand. As the economist Leonard Read observed in his
essay "I, Pencil' (which I'd like everybody to read), no single person
knows how to make even a pencil - the knowledge is distributed in
society among many thousands of graphite miners, lumberjacks,
designers and factory workers

33. It is impossible for a hockey player, or Bill Joy, or
Robert Oppenheimer, or any other outlier for that
matter, to look down from their lofty perch and say
with truthfulness, “I did this, all by myself.”
Superstar lawyers and math whizzes and software
entrepreneurs appear at first blush to lie outside
ordinary experience. But they don’t. They are
products of history and community, of opportunity
and legacy…The outlier, in the end, is not an outlier
at all.

35. As for how these ideas emerge, almost all of my subjects
confirmed that when eureka moments occur, they tend
to be precipitated by long periods of preparation and
incubation, and to strike when the mind is relaxed—
during that state we called REST. “A lot of it happens
when you are doing one thing and you’re not thinking
about what your mind is doing,” one of the artists in my
study told me. “I’m either watching television, I’m
reading a book, and I make a connection … It may have
nothing to do with what I am doing, but somehow or
other you see something or hear something or do
something, and it pops that connection together.”

37. Spencer Silver spent years trying to get his
colleagues at 3M excited about his low-tack,
pressure-sensitive adhesive. The world yawned.
But one day another 3M scientist was in church,
not a bad place for a eureka moment, and came
up with a use for Dr. Silver's glue.
Arthur Fry was annoyed that the bookmarks in his
hymnal wouldn't stay put. He thought adding Dr.
Silver's adhesive to some paper might do the
trick. Not only was he right, but people have been
coming up with uses for the Post-Its ever since.

Often [ideas] arrived suddenly, without any effort on
my part, like an inspiration. They never came to a
fatigued brain and never at the writing desk. It was
also necessary, first of all, that I should have turned
my problem over on all sides to such an extent that I
had all its angles and complexities “in my head.”
Then, there must come an hour of complete physical
freshness and quiet well-being, before the good ideas
arrived. Often they were there in the morning when I
first awoke… But they liked especially to make their
appearance while I was taking easy walk over wooded
hills in sunny weather.

40. Like almost every fiction writer, I'm sometimes asked
where I get my ideas. It's a reasonable-enough
question, one asked by nonwriters who are curious
about the creative process. When I answer that "I have
no idea," my questioner assumes my answer is a feeble
attempt at wit, which it is, but I'm also telling the
truth. Furthermore, even if ideas were gettable—say,
stacked in a secluded cave like the Dead Sea scrolls—I
wouldn't go there. An "idea," especially one adhered to
from start to finish, can be disastrous for a compelling
piece of fiction.

conscious decision—it’s an idea
that floats down in front of me
at four in the morning or in the
middle of a conversation or on
a tour bus or in the mall or in
an airport bathroom. I never
know when I’m gonna get an
idea and I never know what it’s
gonna be.

‘‘Experimental economics started at Purdue in the late fall of 1955. . . . I
had insomnia one night, and . . . I found myself thinking about the
classroom experiment that Ed Chamberlin used to perform with the
Harvard graduate students to prove the impossibility of perfect
competition.
So there I was, wide-awake at 3 am, thinking about Chamberlin’s silly
experiment… This led to two ideas: (1) why not use the double oral
auction procedure, used on the stock and commodity exchanges? (2)
why not conduct the experiment in a sequence of trading ‘days’ in which
supply and demand were renewed to yield functions that were ‘daily
flows.‘
“The following January, I carri ed through my insomniacal plan. . . . I am
still recovering from the shock of the experimental results. The outcome
was unbelievably consistent with competitive price theory. “

43. So we have these two basic mind-sets for
solving problems—insight and analytic. Shifting
your attention more inwardly or outwardly can
help you to engage one or the other. But in
situations calling for outside-the-box ideas…you
can use sensory deprivation to help you focus
inwardly. The missing ingredient needed to
realize a great idea could be as simple as a little
solitude and inner attentiveness to minimize the
distractions that might be blocking an idea from
bubbling up.
