Learn to Innovate and Make Real Change In our era of disruption and possibility, there are so many great opportunities within your grasp; however, most smart and successful people miss out. Unfortunately, your capabilities are limited by the seven traps of path dependency, which cause you to repeat past decisions. These traps can limit you from seeing the potential of what could be. If you could overcome these traps, what could you accomplish? How much more successful could you be? Create the Future teaches you how to think disruptively, providing specific steps to create real innovation and change. This book combines Jeremy's high energy, provocative thinking with tactics that have been battle-tested through thousands of his team's projects advising leading innovators like Disney, Starbucks, Amex, IBM, Adidas, Google, and NASA. On top of all that, this is a double-sided book, paired with The Innovation Handbook, a revised edition of Jeremy's award-winning book, Exploiting Chaos.

Organisations today operate in a fascinating world where change is constant, fast and continues to accelerate. It is the combination of evolving developments such as technological advancements, globalisation and new ways of communicating through multimedia technologies that drive us to reorganise how we live, how we work, how we create value, and how we learn. These developments call for a Learning & Development policy and practice that supports professionals to be or become successful in this fascinating changing world. In other words: one of the core goals of Learning & Development is to support sustainable employability. Creating Impact through Future Learning introduces a model for High Impact Learning that Lasts (HILL) that is very much in synch with the demands of an agile organisation. The HILL model is about the learning of young adults, professionals, and experts. It is about the many possibilities to inspire and to support adults in their continuous learning and development process, aiming to create value for today’s and tomorrow’s society. It is about how designers of learning programmes – be it L&D officers or teachers in vocational and higher education preparing adults for professional life – can take a step forward to build the future of learning. A new mindset is needed to create a real impact.

Every issue is a health issue; everything we think, feel, and do impacts our state of well-being in ways not yet fully understood by science. Without question, our ability to prevent disease, heal illness, overcome mental health issues, and maintain peak performance as we age is affected by our deepest inner beliefs and core values. Deep Medicine, copublished with the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), is a program created by Dr. William Stewart that is designed to help you develop a personal plan for finding and using your own inner power to heal. First, you'll learn how to take your vital signs by asking yourself four key questions of self-assessment: What am I thinking? What am I feeling? What am I doing about it? How is it working for me? Then, you'll discover methods for accessing your intuitive inner wisdom and living purposefully. The practice of deep medicine will reward you with a life of conscious awareness and set you on the path toward greater physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Deep Medicine offers a free-spirited approach to exploring your innate health-building potential. -Mehmet Oz, MD, heart surgeon and coauthor of YOU: The Owner's Manual When it comes to our health, our choices are often our destiny. In Deep Medicine, Dr. Stewart supports our choices with the skill of a surgeon and the wisdom of a healer. -Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, professor and author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
