  Collaborative strategies work when they're designed by teams—where each person is heard, valued, and held accountable. This book is a practical guide for project team leaders and individual contributors who want their teams to play by a better set of rules.Today's teams want more alignment among their members, better decision-making processes, and a greater sense of ownership over their work. This can be easy, even fun, if you have the right rituals.Rituals are group activities during which people go through a series of behaviors in a specific order. They give teams the ability to create a collective point of view and reshape the processes that affect their day-to-day work. In Turning People into Teams, you'll find dozens of practical rituals for finding a common purpose at the beginning of a project, getting unstuck when you hit bottlenecks or brick walls, and wrapping things up at the end and moving on to new teams.Customizable for any industry, work situation, or organizational philosophy, these rituals have been used internationally by many for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. By implementing just a few of these rituals, a team can capture the strengths of each individual for incredible results, making choices together that matter.

  Rob, Dom and Mikey were fed up with the corporate treadmill.  When they decided to change careers, they looked for a website  to help them escape - except there wasn't one. So they started  their own. Three years later and they have started a movement  called Escape the City. Over 100,000 people have joined www.escapethecity.org in  pursuit of exciting and unconventional careers. They are the  first online start-up in the world to raise more than £500,000  in investment equity crowdfunding - and they did this entirely  from their own membership.     The Escape Manifesto is the book that the guys wish they had read  three years ago on the London Underground when they were  commuting back and forth from their corporate cubicles. It is an  inspirational call to action, packed with practical advice and  encouragement. If you work in a corporate job that doesn't make you  tick and you have ever wondered whether there is more to life,  this book is for you. Step off the corporate treadmill - find an  exciting job, start your own business, or go on a big  adventure. Stop dreaming, start planning and do something  different!

The tutorial will take some time to look at the fundamentals of Lean Analytics, one of the most important aspects of Lean's methodology.

  Create Your Value Proposition &...

  Connect your talent with your life purpose and start creating the opportunities you deserve within your company; in your current position, but taking initiative... and taking control of your career in the process. How? By creating a value proposition within your field of expertise in order to achieve the fulfillment and recognition you deserve. 
  It’s a fact that new technologies, automation, digitalization and AI are creating profound changes in the world of work and what it means to work, with consequences for both the market as a whole and individual workers. On the one hand, we are finding ourselves faced with an increasingly uncertain, fragile, and precarious market, with a saturation of overqualified professionals and a shortage of positions suited to their skills. On the other hand, workers are suffering from disaffection, disconnection, and boredom, with this even leading to burnout syndrome and silent resignation or quiet quitting. 
  The time has come to rethink our attitude in the system, to ask ourselves probing questions about what it means to be a good professional, and to reflect deeply on what we are looking for in our work and what is at the root of our search. The solution to this dilemma is to change our axis of reference. Before, we were engaged in an infinite search. But from now on, we will be creating and attracting opportunities using our own initiative.

  Discover why you should not fear change. As the authors explain in the very first chapter, humans have been fearing and resisting change for a long time. But is there an alternative to this fear and aversion? Yes—you can either get owned by change or decide to own change yourself. Learn how to do just that with tips and advice for every individual, including the manager, the entrepreneur, the employee, or just the average person who fears getting derailed by change. 
   
   
   
  Learn how to implement "The Change Paradox" mentality into your everyday life. In the second half of the book, find a "Change Model" with five Change Paradoxes.
