Regenerating Learning
The perfect storm of learning provoked by generative AI is not just about learning how to use the technology to change human patterns of work and life. The technologies are re-orienting how we think we learn, how we communicate with each other, and the economic, social, political, creative, and ethical factors that inform how we navigate human-influenced existence on this planet. This book addresses the need for workers in any industry to take responsibility for learning how to best use generative AI systems in their unique contexts. Generative AI can navigate you towards learning, but also towards conducting research and teaching yourself things; to empower you in reimagining and reinventing how you learn while doing your work. Just like you can regenerate content persistently using generative AI systems, so too can you regenerate what and how you learn. Chapters will prepare you to inform and guide the small team you are a part of, or influence leadership to navigate the territory of leveraging generative AI systems responsibly. Besides pointing to all the more obvious benefits of learning how to use generative AI systems more effectively, this book provides use cases, research and educational theory to propose that interacting with the technology leads to a number of unanticipated learning outcomes. These outcomes challenge the very way in which we have come to learn, what we have learned, and what we may need to unlearn. As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated within workplace environments at some point or other we will each reach a critical point of having to decide if we are going to use the technology and how. The perfect storm of learning provoked by generative AI is not just about learning how to use the technology to change human patterns of work and life.

Project Objectives Management
Manage supplier objectives effectively to align project and organizational success within your organization. This book introduces a dedicated method for suppliers to follow to ensure that all relevant targets and expectations are successfully meet. The method integrates a day-to-day high awareness, urgency, and focus on the management of all relevant objectives within the supplier’s project to provide maximum benefit for its organization.You'll learn that formal targets are routinely established at the start of a project and captured in a contract or project charter. Formal customer expectations, such as timelines, scope, and budget, have high focus and are often pitted against internal day-to-day challenges, such as cost increases and other unexpected changes. These challenges can seem even more daunting as a project progresses, especially when other stakeholders have expectations as well. When not managed properly, this can obstruct the focus of less urgent or informal objectives, such as employee development, process assets, and lessons learned, some of which provide a critical benefit for the supplier’s organization and its future.To combat this, you'll follow detailed instructions on how to handle such potential roadblocks and how to focus on achieving all relevant project objectives by applying the established method. Each chapter expands the dedicated method itself and provides insight into this philosophy. In the end you'll have all the necessary prerequisites for a successful implementation of these principles within your organization.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Define organizational objectives aligned with the organization’s purpose and values* Prioritize and align project specific objectives with the organizational objectives* Facilitate to achieve the project objectives* Handle day-to-day challenges with managing the project objectives* Balance customer and supplier targets and expectationsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORProject management professionals with various levels of skill and experience working at small-to-medium sized project suppliers, both for-profit and non-profit organisations.Reitse van der Wekken works as project manager at Allseas, a world-leading contractor in the offshore energy market, where he leads innovative offshore platform decommissioning and installation projects, mostly located on the North Sea in Europe.

Improving Operating Leverage Using Hyperautomation
Improving operating leverage is about operational resilience, structural operational efficiency, and sustainable revenue growth. Activity-based enterprise non-interest cost management is an important component of enterprise risk adjusted return management methodology. This book builds on the author Kannan Subramanian’s earlier book, _Event- and Data-Centric Enterprise Risk-Adjusted Return Management_, delving in depth into enterprise non-interest operating cost management and operating leverage.Operating Leverage is about managing a bank’s capabilities and its capacity to deliver its products and services efficiently. It is not limited to managing operational costs but includes the operational support for the growth of business and for improving profitability. Profit is an absolute measure that denotes the amount of money the bank makes after deducting all expenses. Profitability measures how efficient the bank is at utilizing its resources to generate risk-adjusted returns. The reader can learn to improve risk adjusted operational effectiveness by implementing a nuanced approach to managing performance, risk, control, and cost simultaneously, at the process level.You’ll examine how some institutions have implemented activity-based costing in a siloed environment and without enterprise process automation. Many institutions do not have a scientific way of managing non-interest costs. The book explains why hyperautomation, a technology that intelligently automates business processes, is a more advanced and comprehensive way to manage these factors in a holistic and integrated way._Improving Operating Leverage using Hyperautomation_ is your complete guide to enhancing risk adjusted operational performance through a nuanced approach to performance, risk, control, and costs at the process level.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Define and use the bill of resources to improve operating leverage.* Implement activity-based enterprise non-interest cost management using hyperautomation* Monitor performance, risk, control, and cost at the process level.* Implement time-driven activity-based costing for an enterprise risk-adjusted return model.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORMost banking industry professionals, including senior management teams, consultants, central bankers, financial regulators, software vendors, and Business Process Management Suite/Hyperautomation technology vendors.KANNAN SUBRAMANIAN R is a Chartered Accountant with 35+ years of experience in the banking and financial services industry and has experience with financial markets in USA, Europe, and Asia.
