The document discusses key principles for successful consulting using chess metaphors: - Allow "foot soldiers" or junior consultants to be creative in solving problems, as they have direct access to operational details. - Engage a "rook" or critic on the team to ensure strict compliance with laws and regulations. - Remain adaptable like a "bishop" to unpredictable changes in client needs, teams, or regulations. - Reserve the prowess of the "queen" for handling unexpected crises too complex to resolve routinely.

Alpha Group Negotiation Skills Brochure
Have you ever wondered how underdogs and good guys win? How does a smaller force, out-numbered or out-gunned, seize victory? The answer lies in the motivation of a higher purpose, by doing your homework, by planning better, being smarter & more ambitious, by using the right tactics and by being more agile once the fight has started.
If you apply these principles to your negotiations, you can even up the odds in any scenario.
Learn about four simple negotiation phases through the lens of simple military principles from a seasoned retail negotiator.
Bearwood Big Book
The students worked in teams to create characters for a page in the Bearwood Big Book with the theme of "New Beginnings", they then voted on the winning character and the illustrators drew the winning character design to complete their page for the book.

Twitter
This document discusses how Twitter has changed communication and some issues it raises. It begins with an overview of how technology has changed communication through email, social networks, and blogs. The goal is then stated to analyze how Twitter specifically has changed communication and discuss concerns about its development. Twitter is defined as a social networking tool allowing short messages between users. A visual guide shows how Twitter can spread information and drive traffic to other sites. The document compares blogs and Twitter, noting that Twitter requires shorter summaries shared in real-time. International Twitter demographics are also briefly examined.
Time travellers 1910
Three women from 1910, Lizzy, Flory and Molly, accidentally traveled through time and ended up in a primary school in 2011 instead of finding Auntie Ethel in 1910. They are confused by modern conveniences like electricity, indoor plumbing, and modern clothing styles and need the children's help to understand these changes so they can travel back to their own time.
Clouds
Clouds form when warm air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense onto particles like dust. There are three main cloud types based on altitude - high, middle, and low clouds. High clouds like cirrus are wispy and made of ice crystals. Middle clouds such as altostratus cover the sky in gray. Low clouds like stratus appear as blankets. Cumulus clouds are puffy and allow shapes to be seen. Nimbus clouds are dark and rain-bearing. Cloud names indicate their type and altitude through prefixes.

Future_of_Financial_Advice
The document discusses how the financial advice market is changing to better serve millennials and future clients. Traditional advisory models are outdated and high-cost, servicing less than half of investible assets. The future of financial advice relies on gamification, social analytics, access consolidation, and value aggregation to better understand clients and their communities in order to provide customized, low-cost advice. Robo-advisors and blockchain also have the potential to disrupt financial advice by automating tasks, mining client data, and creating investment opportunities. Advisors' revenue models will move away from fees and commissions towards building their brand and value through personalized advice, accessible opportunities, and consistent client engagement.
Onboarding
1) Banks currently use an iterative onboarding process that requires customers to provide extensive personal information upfront. This model is failing with digital natives who expect transparency and minimal effort.
2) To successfully attract and retain millennial customers, banks need to reinvent their business model, revenue model, customer engagement model, and delivery model. They must mine customer data from a wide range of digital sources to develop personalized solutions.
3) Banks should focus on becoming trusted aggregators of financial opportunities and value for customers rather than managers of their money. Winning the "game of information" will determine which institutions can successfully serve customers in the future.
Twitter
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.

Cinthia
This document appears to be notes from a Spanish language class in Argentina. It contains greetings and short conversations in Spanish between a teacher, student named Cinthia, and others. The conversations cover introducing oneself, dreaming of kittens, and good mornings. One student is asked to speak in English about what they learned from their teacher and father.

Eid-Ul-Fitr is a Muslim festival that celebrates the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. People observe Eid by offering special prayers, dressing in their finest clothes, exchanging gifts and money, and enjoying meals with family and friends. They thank Allah for giving them strength during Ramadan and helping them practice self-control through fasting.

PowerUP Brilliance™ - New book for innovation leaders to sharpen adaptive can...
Power Up Brilliance gives take-charge innovation leaders a proven formula to lift teams above fear and complacency – because you can't do innovation unless you sell innovation, even when the easy obvious conventional answers won't get your enterprise to the next level. Surveys say that Fortune 1000 CEOs demand brilliance and creativity from their stars — but stars often find it too hard and frustrating to wrestle down the key issues and champion innovation. Despite what is emblazoned in their credos and core values, many enterprises have a bias against creativity that rewards mediocrity and conformity and makes it hard for innovators to get traction. Power Up Brilliance gives leaders a proven 5-part formula to bring out truly great thinking from other cubicles across the hall or from other centers of excellence around the globe. It says, “If you ‘get it’ and ‘see it,’ the mantle of leadership passes to you — no matter where you sit on the formal hierarchy.” The question is whether you’ll find the courage to take that mantle – and inspire courage in others when your great ideas shake their world. The 5 Courage Activators described in this book have 10+ years of solid research behind them, from Israel's innovation hotbed dozens of other success stories. Despite its research base, this is not an academic book. It’s a practical “how-to” guide, written about business leaders for business leaders - about the uphill climb that is inevitable when you have a unique brilliant perspective on innovation and when you step in, reach out and try to power up brilliance in others. Whether you are a middle manager, a project orchestrator, a technical expert or “the big boss,” Power Up Brilliance gives you tools that you can use right away to seize promising opportunities, wrestle down real issues, mobilise the right people and achieve breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements.
Stay Paranoid: Top Survival Insights from Intel’s Andrew Grove, Part 1
Intel’s former CEO Andrew Grove sits among business’s most eminent leaders. Grove’s highly celebrated business book, Only the Paranoid Survive, offers an intimate account of Intel’s darkest hour. It was the mid-‘90s when Intel was forced to innovate or perish. The once rapidly successful semiconductor startup faced unexpected, overwhelming competition, a severely disrupted market and a team of bewildered, disheartened employees in desperate need of clear direction.
Grove sat at the fore of Intel during its passage through the “valley of death” and, remarkably, managed to transform Intel into the famed microprocessor manufacturer it is known as today. In this two-part guide, key quotes from Only the Paranoid Survive are arranged to deliver Grove’s most crucial lessons for dealing with disruption, innovation and change management.

Why To Engage Outside The Box, Inc.
This presentation supplements our basic capabilities presentation and gets to the heart of the matter of why someone should hire us for strategic business development initiatives and how they can benefit from using us as an outside resource.
Six "Wicked Questions" Every Leader Must Ask
This document discusses six "wicked questions" that leaders must ask themselves to assess their leadership fitness. It summarizes the questions as assessing whether leaders are: 1) clear-headed and able to rise above distractions; 2) using the right lens and not distorting reality; 3) being totally honest, including telling difficult truths; 4) ensuring their culture has evolved with the times; 5) banishing complacency; and 6) continuously breaking new ground and innovating. It encourages leaders to abandon perfection, focus on asking better questions, keep things in constant flux, and continually experiment.
How the mighty fall
Every institution is vulnerable to decline, regardless of past success. The document outlines five stages of institutional decline: 1) Hubris born of success, 2) Undisciplined pursuit of more, 3) Denial of risk and peril, 4) Grasping for salvation, and 5) Capitulation to irrelevance or death. It argues that decline can be harder to detect in early stages but easier to cure, while later stages are easier to detect but harder to cure. Reversing decline requires addressing the root causes at each stage through disciplined actions that add up over time, rather than searching for silver bullet solutions.
Getting A Green Light
The document discusses the challenges of getting support and budgets for ambitious projects due to aversion to risk. It outlines five types of risks to transformational initiatives: implementation failure, adoption failure, cannibalization, legal risks, and perception of failure. The document argues that some level of risk is necessary for innovation and provides strategies for communicating the risk profile of initiatives in a way that makes business sense, such as using an iterative development process, customer research, and setting proper expectations that acknowledge the experimental nature of innovation projects. The overall message is that avoiding investment in transformational projects due to risk aversion leads to the greater risk of business irrelevance.

Selling The Value of Resilience, Crisis Response Journal, Vol 6 Issue 2
Thomas Croall argues that risk practitioners must refine their skills in persuasion and selling resilience. Relying solely on bold statements about disasters without proper context can damage credibility or appear as an insurmountable problem. Instead, practitioners should search for case studies of past incidents and learn from peer organizations' experiences. Embedding resilience requires the awareness and support of all staff, which can be achieved by drawing from risk communication best practices and refining sales techniques. Selling resilience is a core competency for risk managers and needs to be honed through practice.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.
Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile Systems
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Strategic Org Design with Org Topologies™
Org Design is a core skill to be mastered by management for any successful org change.
Org Topologies™ in its essence is a two-dimensional space with 16 distinctive boxes - atomic organizational archetypes. That space helps you to plot your current operating model by positioning individuals, departments, and teams on the map. This will give a profound understanding of the performance of your value-creating organizational ecosystem.

Six C's of Consulting
- 2. Creativity Conventional wisdom has appropriated Consulting to the experienced- WRONGLY! The foot soldiers are closest to reality, have access to the most operative detail and open to experiment. They lend a fresh perspective to the problem statement. Award the first move to the foot soldier, allow them to be creative and watch them transform into a Queen
- 3. Compliance Never lose sight of Compliance. Ignorance is not an excuse and being on the wrong side of law is not an option. Engage a critic in your team that delivers the straight focused moves of a Rook. Its unwavering commitment to compliance and immunity to get distracted by what may be happening around delivers the power needed to penetrate through an army of cynics and opportunists alike.
- 4. Competition Never lose sight of what competition may have in store for you. Competitors could vanish into dark cells, when you saw them perched on a lighted platform, or simply appearing into visible zone, from nowhere – like a Knight. Never be too confident of your subject matter expertise, aggressive pricing or glorious ranking as a leader. Watch out for competitors jumping over your opportunities through alliances or innovative business models.
- 5. Agility and responsiveness to unpredictable changes is the key to a successful consulting. The executive sponsor could change, or a new regulation could appear or the delivery team itself get pulled into more critical assignments – there is no room for hard coding the methodology, framework or the deliverable. Adaptability, like that of a Bishop, remains the key to survival. Change
- 6. Crisis Anticipate a crisis where none exists. Despite immaculate planning, there will be surprises. Unleashing the smartest of the resources, expertise and relationships alone will save the day. The prowess of a Queen has to be reserved for an eventuality too complex to be resolved with routine army. Your client will remember you for your ability to hold your head high in the wake of a crisis it failed to predict.
- 7. Cash Cash is King…need we say more! Free consulting may be a door opener for some cases – but never to be positioned as an offering. Findings from most consultancies that are offered free often find their way to the trash. Value must not only be delivered, but perceived to be delivered – and redeemed.
