Item no. : ZT07860461 Format : DVD Duration : 28 minutes Price : USD 240.00 STRATEGY AND CHANGE INTELLIGENT INTELLIGENT STRATEGY STRATEGY With Richard Rumelt � Steve Jobs' plan for Apple in 1997: hatchet job or strategy? � Why financial performance goals are not strategy. � Creating proximate goals and "riding the wave" of change. Bad strategy is long on goals and vision and short on presenting a coherent set of actions for actually solving the fundamental problems facing an organization. Good strategy, on the other hand, flows from an honest diagnosis of your most critical challenge coupled with an action plan for specific objectives that your organization can reasonably accomplish to overcome that challenge. Drawing on the successes of General Motors in the 1920s, NASA's Apollo program, Cisco, IKEA, and Nvidia, Professor Rumelt defines five elements of good strategies. First, use analytic tools to develop insight into the nature of your challenge. Then, define achievable proximate objectives toward your goal, recognize and ride the wave of change in your industry, build a "chain link" barrier to competition, and finally, expect and overcome entropy and inertia from within.

When Brad Smith took over as CEO, Intuit founder Scott Cook advised him to "Question everything." Using this as his mantra, Smith set out to create innovative business structures that built on Intuit's strengths and retained market dominance in spite of an explosion in social media, unforeseen technology shifts, and radical changes in consumer expectations. In this highly informative presentation, Smith shares secrets that have led to revolutionary new products, sky-high productivity, and a ranking on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For. Smith describes how to articulate a vision so simple and clear that teams are aligned and motivated without the leader having to do anything but get out of the way. He details specific techniques for building a culture where innovation thrives and the next best thing could come from anywhere in the company. And he explains how Intuit selects the right people, projects and metrics for prospering in the present while at the same time preparing for an unknown future.

It is the job and function of the healthcare professional caring for the post-ostomy patient to provide care for the stoma. However, the healthcare professional should also understand that he/she plays a pivotal role in helping the patient with overwhelming emotions that often go along with ostomy. This course reviews the digestive system in brief and a few of the most frequently performed ostomies, the main medical conditions that may lead to an ostomy, post-operative and daily care for different ostomies. It also focuses on helping the patient prepare for discharge and life post-ostomy.

After watching this program viewers should be able to: � Define the terms "stoma" and "ostomy". � Describe the steps involved in caring for the stoma. � Define common ostomy procedures. � Describe the factors of a patient's self-care of his/her stoma. � Describe possible complications and irrigation technique. � Develop a list of problematic foods that can produce odor, gas and other intestinal ailments that can cause the post-ostomy patient pain and embarrassment. � Describe the types of sexual dysfunction both male and female ostomy patients may experience and suggest ways these patients may help themselves overcome some of these issues.

about the pioneering community-building project of the world-famous architect Frei Otto in Berlin, called the Okohaus—an experimental, ecological, customized housing project in the city center. Including interviews with Frei Otto, Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann Kendel, Yona Friedman, Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved architects, planners, and inhabitants, the film shows the development and the philosophy of the project, which was built for the International Building Exhibition in Berlin 1987 (IBA). The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of experimental solutions to adaptable home building and personalization. The film explores the ideas that motivated the project, its underlying sustainability themes, and asks how these ambitions were realized. DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE ultimately asks: What can we learn from the Okohaus? How can its design, building process, and the experience of its 20-plus year occupation inform ecological and design issues currently relevant to our society?

A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement - grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. From halting dams in the Grand Canyon to battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal; from Greenpeace saving the whales to Chico Mendes and the rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization... the film tells vivid stories about people fighting - and succeeding - against enormous odds. The film is divided into five "acts". Act 1 focuses on the conservation movement of the `60s, David Brower and the Sierra Club's battle to halt dams in the Grand Canyon. Act 2 looks at the new environmental movement of the `70s with its emphasis on pollution, focusing on the battle led by Lois Gibbs over Love Canal. Act 3 is about alternative ecology strands and the main story is Greenpeace's campaign to save the whales. Act 4 explores global resource issues and crises of the `80s, focusing on the struggle to save the Amazon led by Chico Mendes and the rubber tappers. Act 5 concerns climate change.

It's shaping up to be the documentary of record on the environmental movement. I think it'll be hugely successful." - Cara Mertes, Director, Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program � "The film left me emotionally drained and profoundly hopeful." - Bruce Barcott, OnEarth Magazine Item no. : TE02560823 Format : DVD Duration : 114 minutes Copyright : 2012 StdBkNo : 1937772411 Price : USD 295.00 TEACHER TRAINING SEXT SEXT UP UP KIDS KIDS From tiny tots strutting bikini-clad bodies in beauty pageants to companies marketing itty-bitty thongs and padded bras to nine-year-olds, images of ever-younger sexualized girls have become commonplace.

Sext up KIDS exposes how growing up in a hyper-sexualized culture hurts our kids. Find out why educators and parents struggle to help kids navigate puberty in a world where the line between pop culture and porn culture is increasingly blurred.

Today it has grown into the biggest tennis tournament in the world, with a long, rich tradition of attracting the best players from around the globe to perform on the world's greatest stage: the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. As the last major of the calendar year, the US Open annually brings down the curtain on the Grand Slam season with some of the most unforgettable matches in tennis history. In 2011, it featured another bruising battle between the best player of 2010 (Rafael Nadal) and the best player of 2011 (Novak Djokovic) competing in the first repeat men's singles final since Ivan Lendl and Mats Wilander in 1987-88 and the first featuring the top two seeds since Pete Sampras defeated Michael Chang in 1996. A year earlier Nadal knocked off Djokovic in four sets to win his first US Open championship and complete the career Grand Slam. But Djokovic had turned the tables in 2011, defeating Nadal all five times they played—all in finals. A victory for Nadal, the reigning French Open champion, would give him a split of the year's four Grand Slam events and tie him with Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver for fourth all-time with 11 Grand Slam tournament titles. A victory for Djokovic would give him his first US Open title, make him just the sixth man in the Open Era to win three Grand Slam tournaments in a single season and run his record on the year to an incomparable 64-2.

In the Men's Singles, the world number one Rafael Nadal returned to SW19 to defend his title, hot off the success of a sixth French Open victory and determined to prevail ahead of 2011's form player Novak Djokovic. In the Women's Singles defending champion Serena Williams was attempting to win her 14th Grand Slam crown, despite having played sparingly since winning the 2010 title due to injury and illness. Six-time champion Roger Federer, in search of a record equaling 7th triumph, crashed out at the quarter-final stage for the second year in succession, beaten by the twelfth seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk 142
