The Ai-Centered Enterprise
AI is evolving in a way that mirrors how past technologies were initially adopted. Right now, most organizations are adding AI tools to their existing systems without rethinking their overall processes. But to fully unlock the potential of AI, companies will eventually need to build their operations around it.As Generative AI continues to develop, it's becoming more context-aware, capable of understanding situations and making decisions. This shift will move AI beyond simply improving individual tasks. It will enable smarter organizational interactions, powered by technologies like Knowledge Graphs for understanding and Intelligent Agents for decision-making.Over time, businesses will transform into AI-Centered Enterprises (ACEs), using this advanced technology to create new value in internal marketplaces. Unlike past approaches like Business Process Reengineering, this change isn't about completely overhauling processes. Instead, it's about rethinking how information flows within organizations. With Context-Aware AI, companies can identify and fix information bottlenecks, enabling smoother, more dynamic communication through flexible, agentic AI platforms rather than rigid, tightly-structured systems.Understanding this transformation requires a basic understanding of how businesses work. It also means recognizing the limits of AI and knowing where human expertise is still essential. This book offers that knowledge, along with real-life examples and practical tips to help businesses navigate this transformation.

The Management Puzzle Solved!
Most often managers come up through the ranks of employees and are chosen because of their success, drive, abilities, education, other accomplishments, and personal factors. However, collectively their accomplishments as employees do not necessarily prepare them for managing and leading. Completing tasks is different from energizing and motivating others to perform. Often the best "doers" are not the best managers. In managing and leading, it often is the mid-level or average performer that is more effective. They may not achieve at the highest level as an employee, but they have qualities that fit with the characteristics of successful managers and leaders. What is needed regardless of prior experience is training and guidance to be a successful manager and leader. What they need is a tool kit to assist them in transitioning to management and, more broadly, to grow in the role over many years. The contents of this book are based on 30 years of client-proven consulting work with companies from start-up to Fortune 100. The information, methods, forms, and other ideas have been honed and modified to provide a universally implementable series of programs and processes that will assist managers and leaders at all levels of organizations to more effectively lead and manage. A key value of The Management Puzzle Solved! is that useful management information is communicated in a concise, informative, non-time intensive format. Each section can be read and digested readily and serve as an ongoing reference for managers as specific needs or concerns arise or just to broaden knowledge.This book is a mini-management course in a readable and compact format. It provides managers with information to interview candidates more effectively, deal with the day-to-day management of employees, provide leadership for the organization, manage employee performance, facilitate meetings effectively, enhance communication, promote team functioning, and implement change more smoothly. Rather than the latest fad, this field-tested set of management tools provides ideas and techniques that have been implemented in hundreds of companies with thousands of managers and employees to help you manage and lead effectively.

Optimizing Doctors Availability and Appointment Allocation in Hospital
Four Days a Week
Bestselling author, leading sociologist and economist Juliet Schor makes the case for a four-day work week, persuasively showing how this model can address major challenges such as burnout, AI and the climate crisis, and how employees, companies, and governments can work together to make it a reality. Around the world, long hours and intense pressure are taking their toll. When the pandemic hit in 2020, work-induced stress and burnout skyrocketed. Many reached a breaking point. Now, three-quarters of the world's employees are disengaged and struggling, including in the US and Canada, where half are experiencing high levels of daily stress.Our current work culture, the five-day, forty-hours-a-week model--which has gone unchanged for nearly a century--is failing. But a remedial countertrend has emerged: the four-day work week. Kickstarter, Bolt, Basecamp, ThredUp, and hundreds of other employers have eliminated the fifth day of work, successfully figuring out how to maintain productivity while seeing remarkable improvements in employee well-being. Hiring is easier and fewer people are quitting. These results are global. Working a four-day week, people feel energized, capable, and more optimistic about their lives--and their jobs.Four Days a Week is the first large-scale study of this trend. Juliet Schor--an expert who has researched and written about work for more than four decades, beginning with her New York Times bestseller The Overworked American in 1992--shares her pioneering analysis of the benefits of a shorter work week, how companies can achieve them, why the concept has taken so long to emerge and gain acceptance, and why doing so will help a company's employees and its bottom line. The book is a blueprint for implementing a change that once seemed radical, but is now within reach.
State of Social Protection Report 2025
The past decade has been a success for social protection, with coverage expanding to 4.7 billion people across low- and middle-income countries. The expansion of social protection is great news for the world's poorest. Yet, across low- and middle-income countries, 2 billion people remain uncovered or inadequately covered by social protection. Furthermore, many of the 4.4 billion people in low- and middle-income countries who benefit from social protection may not receive the type and intensity of support they need in a world in transition. The report documents advances and challenges to strengthen social protection and labor systems across low- and middle-income countries, and discusses avenues to gradually close the coverage gap for the world's poorest. The path of reforms will depend on country context, capacity and fiscal space. In low-income countries, the report argues for a gradual expansion of social protection, prioritizing the coverage of poor and vulnerable populations through social assistance and economic inclusion programs. In middle-income countries, the report calls for strengthening social protection and labor systems, expanding and integrating the offer of services, and increasing reliance on contributory social insurance. The rising frequency of shocks and crises - including climate-related - also calls for major investments in social protection and labor systems' adaptability and preparedness. To achieve more and better social protection, investments in delivery systems (such as social registries, case management, payment and monitoring systems) will be essential, as they support more effective and better tailored social policies, more progressive fiscal policies, and greater shock responsiveness. The time for boosting ambition is now. Growing headwinds of change demand both increased investment and a fundamental shift in approach - from short-term reactions to proactive, long-term adaptation, and from siloed actions to integrated agendas.
Lifting The Veil
When life throws us curve balls we can either dodge them or face them head-on.LIFTING THE VEILis the true story of one woman who chose to face up to every curve ball, firm in her belief that one day she would find peace and happiness.In a sometimes misguided journey over many years, this account bridges countries, cultures and religious divides while at the same time revealing the lengths many women go to in order to survive.It is a lesson in courage and spirituality as we follow the author from England to Dubai and witness the stark difference between what we think we want and what we really need.This narrative lays no blame, save at the author herself, who feels the time is right to use her own painful lessons and deliver one simple message: IF I CAN DO IT. SO CAN YOU.
