Why Plans Fail
Author: James Benson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780989081221
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Business runs on decisions. Business relies on estimates, plans, and projections - and we all know how accurate they tend to be. Careers are made, careers are broken based on perceived accuracy in estimation and planning. But what if the successes and failures of these projects were not based on the prowess of those making the plans? What if successes and failures were instead the result of a more complex set of events? What if our own cognitive biases - our own brains - were creating our inaccuracies, our poor assumptions, and our unreasonable expectations? Why Plans Fail directly addresses our ability to plan, to forecast, and to make decisions. Written by Jim Benson, author of the Shingo Research Award-winning Personal Kanban, urban planner, software developer, and business owner who has planned and built everything from small software projects, to houses, to urban freeway systems, Why Plans Fail is told by someone with much skin in the estimation and planning game. This short work is the first in the Modus Cooperandi MemeMachine series - which looks specifically at underlying issues that directly impact the success of teams, companies, and individuals. The Mememachine series is meant to start conversations and advance discussion.

Book Description
Loved Ones are Devastated When You're Gone. Leave the Gift of Your Important Information All Kept in One Place. "Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now." ~Alan Lakein Steve's Story Steve has been married for 48 years. He always handled the household bills, and took care of all the banking, real estate and retirement accounts. But since his unexpected death, his wife, Linda, is overwhelmed. Of course she's grieving over Steve's passing. But, on top of that, She has absolutely no idea what bills need to paid, or even, when they are due. Mary's Story On the other side of town, 81-year-old Mary lives alone. After a long battle with a chronic heart condition, Mary comfortably passed away. Even though her two daughters live across the country, they were able to handle their mom's estate with much less grief. That's because, many years ago Mary had saved all her vital information in one convenient place. Preparing and Organizing Important Information for the Future Death is sure to happen. Yet, with proper planning, you can save your family a lot of hassle at a time when they have more than enough pain and grief to deal with. Long before she finally succumbed to her illness, Mary recorded all her vital information in one place and told her daughters where it could be found. She gave them names, contact information, account numbers, financial information, instructions for pets, messages for friends and next-of-kin. Everything she thought her heirs needed to know. On the other hand, Steve always managed all the household money matters. And, he never had discussions about them with Linda. No one but Steve knew where to find life insurance policies, deeds to real estate, or even who to talk to about the retirement accounts. Steve never expected that his wife would some day have to take over. His lack of planning has made a tough job even tougher for Linda. The End of Life Planning Workbook is valuable, helpful, and it covers everything your family will need to know upon your passing. Which makes it so much easier for your loved ones to settle your affairs.

Planning to Fail
Author: James H. Lebovic
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190935332
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The United States national-security establishment is vast, yet the United States has failed to meet its initial objectives in almost every one of its major, post-World War II conflicts. Of these troubled efforts, the US wars in Vietnam (1965-73), Iraq (2003-11), and Afghanistan (2001-present) stand out for their endurance, resource investment, human cost, and miscalculated decisions. Because overarching policy goals are distant and open to interpretation, policymakers ground their decisions in the immediate world of short-term objectives, salient tasks, policy constraints, and fixed time schedules. As a consequence, they exaggerate the benefits of their preferred policies, ignore the accompanying costs and requirements, and underappreciate the benefits of alternatives. In Planning to Fail, James H. Lebovic argues that a profound myopia helps explain US decision-making failures. In each of the wars explored in this book, he identifies four stages of intervention. First and foremost, policymakers chose unwisely to go to war. After the fighting began, they inadvisably sought to extend or expand the mission. Next, they pursued the mission, in abbreviated form, to suboptimal effect. Finally, they adapted the mission to exit from the conflict. Lebovic argues that US leaders were effectively planning to fail whatever their hopes and thoughts were at the time the intervention began. Decision-makers struggled less than they should have, even when conditions allowed for good choices. Then, when conditions on the ground left them with only bad choices, they struggled furiously and more than could ever matter. Policymakers allowed these wars to sap available capabilities, push US forces to the breaking point, and exhaust public support. They finally settled for terms of departure that they (or their predecessors) would have rejected at the start of these conflicts. Offering a far-ranging and detailed analysis, this book identifies an unmistakable pattern of failure and highlights lessons we can learn from it.

Here's the Plan.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
