Title: Keeping the Barbarians Out: How CIOs Can Secure Their Department and Company

Subtitle: Tips and Techniques for CIOs to Use in Order to Secure Both Their IT Department and Their Company

Author: Jim Anderson

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-14-16

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

There are a lot of bad guys out there. For some odd reason, a lot of them seem to want to break into your company's networks and applications. As the CIO, it's your job to make sure that this does not happen. Got any thoughts on how to go about doing that?

What you'll find inside:

As much as we like to spend our time looking outwards in order to detect the next threat that our company may be facing, perhaps we're looking in the wrong direction. Just as important may be the insider threat that lurks within the company. No matter where it comes from, cybercrime is your problem to deal with.

CIOs have to deal with trends as they come and go. Right now the Bring Your Own Device to Work (BYOD) phase is in full swing and if you aren't careful could cause a lot of problems for the IT department. At the same time, it's the code that your teams create that will secure your applications. Do you know if they are writing secure code or are they leaving doors wide open?

In order to measure where the threats are coming from and how big of deal they are, CIOs need to become comfortable with measuring the level of risk that they are dealing with. A big part of measuring risk is getting information about threats from other CIOs. This can be difficult to do because CIOs really don't like to share information like this.

Since we can't always be certain that we can keep the bad guys out, we need to make sure that we've taken the needed steps to secure our networks. Should they happen to get inside of the company, we need to take extra steps to make sure that they can't get what they came for.

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Change management used to be one of those abstract concepts relegated to business conferences and academic seminars - a nice-to-know topic for discussion, but hardly vital to success.

Well, could change have become more real, or more relevant, this past decade?

Decade of Change features insights and wisdom into how to manage, and make the most of, change. Vinton Cerf, co-creator of the Internet, peers into the Web's future. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman probes the nature of decision making. Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, the Hurricane Katrina hero, offers leadership lessons he applied in that crisis. Visionary executive Ray Anderson makes a powerful business case for environmental sustainability. And a host of other executives and thinkers tackle everything from easing the fear of layoffs to promoting wellbeing in the workplace to building customer engagement amid the post-crash "new normal."

You'll hear from some of the best business and organizational minds in these minutes. They steered leaders through the various crises of the past decade and helped find a way forward to what we all hope will be a brighter and more prosperous future. Decade of Change is more than a look backward - it is a roadmap for what lies ahead.

Publisher: CC Chapman

Publisher's Summary:

Customer service managers may not be on the front lines, but they can create systems and processes that help ensure that the organization's service promises match what it actually delivers. Customer service expert Jeff Toister helps managers identify what a typical customer expects, where those expectations come from, and where your organization might be vulnerable. He explains how to perform a marketing and communication audit to find out whether your company's messaging matches what it is delivering. Then learn how to use data (such as surveys and product returns) to identify areas where service is routinely falling short. Last, he helps you uncover opportunities to reinforce appropriate expectations with customers, including response time expectations for various service channels (phone, email, and social media).

Title: Innovation Is a State of Mind

Subtitle: Simple Strategies to be More Innovative in What You Do

Author: James O'Loghlin

Narrator: James O'Loghlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-22-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

A modern framework for practical innovation - from individual ideas to an innovative organizational culture.

Everyone says that innovation is important. The problem is that no one tells you how to be innovative. Innovation Is a State of Mind sets out a step-by-step guide to creating innovative ideas and putting them into action. You'll learn how to generate more ideas with greater potential, how to grow and evaluate them, test their effectiveness, and then implement the ones that are going to improve your business.

Author James O'Loghlin worked with over a thousand of Australia's best inventors and innovators in the eight years he hosted ABC-TV's The New Inventors. He studied what they do differently and how they are able to identify and take advantage of opportunities that the rest of us miss. Packed with engaging stories and a good dose of humor, this insightful guide helps you to make innovation a part of what you do every day.

Innovators see things differently. They solve problems that the rest of us can't and create solutions to problems that we never noticed we had. Getting stuck in routine and procedure is the death knell for modern business. Most companies undervalue and underuse the creative potential of their people because they underestimate the impact of continuous innovation. Innovation Is a State of Mind shows you how to think like an innovator and create a culture of innovation, so you can stay out in front of the future of business.

Members Reviews:

Think about it.

Innovation Is a State of Mind is a great idea. I like what I've learned in this book.Most of us question nothing, but we go through life following habitual behavior without ever re-examining what we do. in order to make progress, we must spend time every day considering better ways to solve our problems. This book has a simple, profound concept that all of us need to apply more often to our lives. I have one problem with the book, however. Maybe it's my fault, but I grow a little tired of all the wonderful illustrations to make the points. I start wanting to say, "I get it already."

It is a manual that we need to refer to periodically to make sure we aren't slipping into the bad habits presented here, but right now I need to take the advice of the author--close the book and think about how I can be more innovative.

it looked like just what I needed

I got this book because I came up with what I felt was a very innovative idea, and want to turn it into a business. In reading the book description, it looked like just what I needed. All I can say is, WOW! It's exactly what I needed! From the very beginning, I was already making changes. Chapter 1, entitled "Think" had me doing just that. The checklists, found throughout the book, keep me thinking and working on innovation long after reading the book. Chapters 3 & 4 had me expanding my idea, and even helped me to pitch it to potential investors and advertisers. It's super easy to read and follow. Written in a way that you can read and do small chunks at a time, and before you know it, you're working a lot smarter!

Demystifying The Process Of Innovation In A Nutshell

I already knew what innovation is all about. I just want to get an affirmation of its importance and get the general big picture in case I missed anything.

Title: Workforce Planning

Author: Steven G. Carley

Narrator: Tonya J. Williams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-16

Publisher: SGC Productions

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The available resources within workforce planning may be an under-appreciated commodity. This may be especially so when employees are not viewed as tacit knowledge workers in which case their attrition can be a benefit to the organization. In allocating human resources there is much to consider in how the benefits to the organization can affect the costs. Do I hire high knowledge expensive employees or get by with similar functioning with less experienced lower paid employees? This may be the reason a formal workforce planning system should be engaged. Using heuristics in the process may not provide the research to make such informed decisions. In any case the implementation of some sort of workforce planning is a necessity within each organization whether private or public.

Title: What Product Managers Need to Know About World-Class Product Development

Subtitle: How Product Managers Can Create Successful Products

Author: Jim Anderson

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-12-16

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

As product managers it is our responsibility to create products that our customers will want and that will end up being profitable for our companies. It turns out that this is no easy task. Identifying what a customer really wants and then turning that into a feature that can be delivered to a customer is hard work. The key to being successful is to understand exactly what goes into world-class product development.

What you'll find inside:

Every product uses some form of technology no matter if the technology is embedded in the product or if it is used to create the product. Product managers play a key role in selecting the correct technologies to use. Any product requires the company to make an investment in it. One aspect of this investment that is important to a product manager is the cost of capital. That money will be spent creating a product team. As product managers we need to realize that we'll have team members of different ages and we need to know how best to manage them all.

As we look around different industries, we look for examples that we can follow when developing products. The competition between Yahoo and Google in the area of financial reporting provides us with some good examples of what to do and what not to do. Because creating a new product is such a risky undertaking, we need to look for ways to hedge our bets. One thing that can reduce our risk is to copy something that someone else has already done. We need to keep in mind the amount of risk that will be involved.

Innovation is the key to creating new products that your customers will want. Examples from companies like Porsche can provide us with suggestions on how to go about doing this. The plan that we create to deliver a new product is just that a plan. We need to make sure that we take action despite what the plan says in order to make sure that our product is delivered on time. New technologies, such as the Hadoop database, may play a key role in our ability to accomplish this.
