Описание: Rapid advancements in train control and in-cab technologies provide significant opportunities for rail operators to improve efficiency and enhance their operations. New technologies often provide elegant solutions to existing problems or new capabilities for the operator. However, new technologies may also represent a significant form of risk. Thus, it is important to balance the potential for significant improvement with justifiable concern about how the technology may unpredictably change the nature of the work. If a technology is designed and implemented without considering the substantive human factors concerns, that technology may lead to unintended consequences that can introduce safety issues and disrupt network performance. It is important to note that even a well-designed and beneficial technology may be rejected by the users who see it as a threat to their jobs, status or working conditions. This book discusses the issues surrounding rail technology and introduces a ’toolkit’ of human factors evaluation methods. The toolkit provides a practical and operationally focused set of methods that can be used by managers considering investing in technology, staff charged with implementing a technology, and consultants engaged to assist with the design and evaluation process. This toolkit can help to ensure that new rail technologies are thoughtfully designed, effectively implemented, and well received by users so that the significant investment associated with developing rail technologies is not wasted.

Описание: A company full of potential CEOs would be one of the greatest assets an organization could ever hope to acquire. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves to make it happen? The Leaders Within: Engagement, Leadership Development, and Succession Planning presents an integrated model for creating an organizational infrastructure in which leadership development acts as a funnel for succession planning. When they follow this guidance, readers can enhance their organization's learning, leadership, and longevity. The authors draw on their real-world experience in a large health system to define the three unique roles in creating a successful leadership development and succession planning program: the Visionary, who helps the organization and its employees see their future potential; the Architect, who oversees the actual implementation of the program; and the Board Advocate, who secures the governing board's support for the process. Readers will recognize which role they personally play and gain a deeper understanding of how their organization can embed leadership development and succession planning in its DNA. Examples and case studies gathered from over the course of a decade are used to address topics such as: Achieving buy-in from the board and executive team Identifying potential succession candidates Assessing candidates' strengths and opportunities for development Replacing key leaders while maintaining leadership continuity Succession planning and leadership development are two manifestations of the same core principles: a commitment to company values, a desire to foster leadership potential, and a long-term vision for the organization's success. Readers of this book will acquire insight and learn methods for helping redefine their organizations' next generation of leadership.

Описание:
The climate has changed and communities across America are living with the consequences: rapid sea level rise, multi-state wildfires, heat waves, and enduring drought. Living with Climate Change: How Communities Are Surviving and Thriving in a Changing Climate details the steps cities are taking now to protect lives and businesses, to reduce their vulnerability, and to adapt and make themselves more resilient.
The authors included in this book have been directly involved in the successful design and implementation of community-based adaptation and resilience programs. In this book, they apply decades of combined experience in hazard risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and environmental protection to provide timely and practical advice on how to plan for and live with a climate that is changing faster and more erratically than predicted.
The book also examines obstacles to local, state, and national action on climate change, includes case studies to illustrate smart, effective policies and practices that have already been put in place, and defines how these actions benefit the economy, the environment, and public health. Living with Climate Change provides much-needed guidance for finding and enacting solutions to immediate and future risks of climate change.
