Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Sharing Best Practices across industries and functions is an accepted approach to continuous improvement. The Benchmarking trend of the 1990s has evolved with the help of competitive analysis performance excellence awards and other corporate recognition programs into an ongoing documentation of what works. Bob Camp introduced benchmarking against a Best Practice based on his work at Xerox in the 1980s. Case studies abound documenting Best Practice functions and processes. Some case studies use the words “Best Practice” without evidence that the process results or methods are indeed superior. What is missing is a comprehensive model for assessing and writing a Best Practice that provides sufficient information to use as an effective benchmark. This book provides that comprehensive model. Today’s consumers expect products and services to be of high quality reliable and user-friendly. This is the result of years of continuous improvement and innovation by producers. Although many organizations strive for excellent results there is still room for improvement. Unfortunately leaders don’t always have methods and tools to measure or assess that degree of excellence. If leaders could use a tool to discover how good their approaches and methods are and how excellent their achieved results are they could plan further improvements. The goal is to achieve excellent results. The tool described in this book guides leaders to achieve that excellence. | Validating a Best Practice A Tool for Improvement and Benchmarking

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Research shows that enriching learning experiences such as learning communities service-learning undergraduate research internships and senior culminating experiences – collectively known as High-Impact Practices (HIPs) – are positively associated with student engagement; deep and integrated learning; and personal and educational gains for all students – particularly for historically underserved students including first-generation students and racially minoritized populations. While HIPs’ potential benefits for student learning retention and graduation are recognized and are being increasingly integrated across higher education programs much of that potential remains unrealized; and their implementation frequently uneven. Colleges are eager to use the HIP nomenclature for recruitment promoting equity for traditionally underserved student populations and preparing lifelong learners and successful professionals. However HIPs defy easy categorization or standardized implementation. They rely on fidelity quality and consistency – being “done well” – to achieve their learning outcomes; and above all require attention to access and equity if they are to fulfill their promise of benefitting all student populations equally. The goal of Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices is to provide examples from around the country of the ways educators are advancing equity promoting fidelity achieving scale and strengthening assessment of their own local high-impact practices. Its chapters bring together the best current scholarship methodologies and evidence-based practices within the HIPs field illustrating new approaches to faculty professional development culture and coalition building research and assessment and continuous improvement that help institutions understand and extend practices with a demonstrated high impact. For proponents and practitioners this book offers perspectives data and critiques to interrogate and improve practice. For administrators it provides an understanding of what’s needed to deliver the necessary support. | Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

After decades of evolving practice often tested in court development impact fees have become institutionalized in the American planning and local government finance systems. But they remain contentious especially as they continue to evolve. This book is the third in a series of impact fee guidebooks for practitioners following A Practitioner’s Guide to Development Impact Fees and Impact Fees: Proportionate Share Development Fees.

The book elevates professional practice in two ways. First it shows how the rational nexus test can be applied to all forms of development infrastructure impact mitigation. Second it establishes the link between professional ethics and equity as applied to proportionate share impact fees and development mitigation. The book is divided into four parts with the first reviewing policy and legal foundations the second detailing the planning calculation and implementation requirements the third exploring economic ethical and equity implications and the fourth presenting state-of-the-art case studies.

Executive Talent Developing and Keeping the Best People

Executive Talent Developing and Keeping the Best People

This brilliant up-to-date compendium argues that the most successful factor in company life is good people: individuals who are capable competent and savvy. Can corporate life attract such people? Ginzberg argues that despite demographic dislocations and the challenges to the work ethic the answer to this question is a loud yes. In Executive Talent Ginzberg and his colleagues show how to attract train and promote a superior work force and how to take advantage of the different values in today's employees. Over 25 percent of the population currently graduates from a senior college and the number going for advanced degrees is climbing. Blacks and Hispanics together will soon account for one in every four new native-born job applicants. Women are now nearly as prevalent in the work force as men. Today's employees place more emphasis on family and leisure and less on company loyalty. In the face of these critical changes companies can no longer continue with the same human resource policies. Ginzberg offers new approaches to attract and retain superior talent. In Executive Talent Ginzberg brings together top academics and high level executives to explore the new world of work. They discuss coming trends and changes that will reshape the talent pool how these shifts will impact the individual company and ways to develop and implement a human resource strategy to meet the challenging work force of the future. | Executive Talent Developing and Keeping the Best People

Scaling Impact Innovation for the Public Good

Scaling Impact Innovation for the Public Good

Scaling Impact introduces a new and practical approach to scaling the positive impacts of research and innovation. Inspired by leading scientific and entrepreneurial innovators from across Africa Asia the Caribbean Latin America and the Middle East this book presents a synthesis of unrivalled diversity and grounded ingenuity. The result is a different perspective on how to achieve impact that matters and an important challenge to the predominant more-is-better paradigm of scaling. For organisations and individuals working to change the world for the better scaling impact is a common goal and a well-founded aim. The world is changing rapidly and seemingly intractable problems like environmental degradation or accelerating inequality press us to do better for each other and our environment as a global community. Challenges like these appear to demand a significant scale of action and here the authors argue that a more creative and critical approach to scaling is both possible and essential. To encourage uptake and co-development the authors present actionable principles that can help organisations and innovators design manage and evaluate scaling strategies. Scaling Impact is essential reading for development and innovation practitioners and professionals but also for researchers students evaluators and policymakers with a desire to spark meaningful change. | Scaling Impact Innovation for the Public Good
