Design thinking for the greater good : innovation in the social sector / by Liedtka, Jeanne,author.; Salzman, Randy,author.; Azer, Daisy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Why design thinking? -- Catalyzing a conversation for change -- How do we get there from here? : a tale of two managers -- The stories -- Igniting creative confidence at US Health and Human Services -- Including new voices at the Kingwood trust -- Scaling design thinking at Monash Medical Centre -- Turning debate into dialogue at the US Food and Drug Administration -- Fostering community conversations in Iveragh, Ireland -- Connecting-and disconnecting-the pieces at United Cerebral Palsy -- The power of local at the Community Transportation Association of America -- Bridging technology and the human experience at the Transportation Security Administration -- Making innovation safe at MasAgro -- Integrating design and strategy at Children's Health System of Texas -- Moving into action : bringing design thinking to your organization -- The four-question methodology in action : laying the foundation -- The four-question methodology in action : ideas to experiments -- Building organizational capabilities -- Notes.Facing especially wicked problems, social sector organizations are searching for powerful new methods to understand and address them. Design Thinking for the Greater Good goes in depth on both the how of using new tools and the why. As a way to reframe problems, ideate solutions, and iterate toward better answers, design thinking is already well-established in the commercial world. Through ten stories of struggles and successes in fields such as health care, education, agriculture, transportation, social services, and security, the authors show how collaborative creativity can shake up even the most entrenched bureaucracies - and provide a practical roadmap for readers to implement these tools. The design thinkers Jeanne Liedtka, Randy Salzman, and Daisy Azer explore how major agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the Transportation and Security Administration in the United States, as well as organizations in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, have instituted principles of design thinking. In each case, these groups have used the tools of design thinking to reduce risk, manage change, use resources more effectively, bridge the communication gap between parties, and manage the competing demands of diverse stakeholders. Along the way, they have improved the quality of their products and enhanced the experiences of those they serve. These strategies are accessible to analytical and creative types alike, and their benefits extend throughout an organization. This book will help today's leaders and thinkers implement these practices in their own pursuit of creative solutions that are both innovative and achievable. -- from back cover.

Confident parents, confident kids : raising emotional intelligence in ourselves and our kids--from toddlers to teenagers/ by Miller, Jennifer S.(Family and educational consultant),author.(CARDINAL)831738;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Confident Parents, Confident Kids lays out an approach for helping parents-and the kids they love-hone their emotional intelligence so that they can make wise choices, connect and communicate well with others (even when patience is thin), and become socially competent and confident human beings. How do we raise a happy, confident kid? And how can we be confident that our parenting is preparing our child for success? Our confidence develops from understanding and having a mastery over our emotions-and helping our children do the same. Like learning to play a musical instrument, we can fine-tune our ability to skillfully react to those crazy, wonderful, big feelings that naturally arise from our child's constant growth and changes, moving from chaos to harmony. We want our children to trust that they can conquer any challenge with hard work and persistence; that they can love boundlessly; that they will find their unique sense of purpose; and they will act wisely in a complex world. This book shows you how. With author and educator Jennifer Miller as your supportive guide, you'll learn: the lies we've been told about emotions, how they shape our choices, and how we can reshape our parenting decisions in better alignment with our deepest values. how to identify the temperaments your child was born with so you can support those tendencies rather than fight them. how to align your biggest hopes and dreams for your kids with specific skills that can be practiced, along with new research to support those powerful connections. about each age and stage your child goes through and the range of learning opportunities available. how to identify and manage those big emotions (that only the parenting process can bring out in us!) and how to model emotional intelligence for your children. how to deal with the emotions and influences of your choir-the many outside individuals and communities who directly impact your child's life, including school, the digital world, extended family, neighbors, and friends. Raising confident, centered, happy kids-while feeling the same way about yourself-is possible with Confident Parents, Confident Kids."--
