The Sustainability Grand Challenge A Wicked Learning Workbook

The Sustainability Grand Challenge A Wicked Learning Workbook

How do universities tackle wicked sustainability challenges faced by society? The Wicked Learning Workbook is a toolkit for setting up and running an interdisciplinary master-level course in the context of real-world problems such as food waste and loss. The book offers a new pedagogical approach that we call 'wicked' because it is unorthodox ambitious and tackles complex problems that won’t go away. The pedagogy is also international at the course level rather than the conventional exchange semester enabling institutions to embed international approaches to their core teaching. The Wicked Learning Workbook speaks directly to academics who are looking for solutions that provide stimuli for research and teaching while giving students an innovative international learning experience. The approach develops student understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as broad-scale societal issues which are difficult if not impossible to ‘solve’. An important outcome of this approach is the laboratory-style classroom that creates opportunities for faculty students and companies to co-create solutions that are immediately implementable. The resulting methodology is based on industry–university collaboration (such as IKEA and Nestlé). The methodology is of interest to corporate leaders pursuing sustainability goals and business transformation. Achieving sustainability requires cross-boundary cross-disciplinary experimental approaches that allow for scalability. Wicked problems can only be tackled with wicked solution approaches. | The Sustainability Grand Challenge A Wicked Learning Workbook

Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive leadership is a topic generating intense interest. Companies all over the world are trying to upend their industry through innovative products and services. Becoming a disruptive organization however is easier said than done. Even more difficult is being a company that continually disrupts. Is it possible to discern a code for how companies can achieve this? In this highly readable and engaging book a disruptive leadership framework is proposed in which caring deeply is placed at the center of the model. By turning care into a focal point a triphasic model is proposed that moves from the personal sphere (individual) to the corporate arena (organizational) and then to the global stage (impact). Nine keys are identified along this path for how companies can realize organizational excellence. While care may seem like a soft concept in the rough and tumble world of business it is argued how it is actually an inspired manner for providing direction structure and know-how that leads to powerful outcomes. Apple is profiled as a leading example of leveraging what is termed the technology of caring deeply. Other companies such as Nike IKEA Zappos Starbucks are also profiled. Finally a leadership canvas is provided to help activate the lessons shared in the book. | Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Accessible Filmmaking Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process

Accessible Filmmaking Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process

Translation accessibility and the viewing experience of foreign deaf and blind audiences has long been a neglected area of research within film studies. The same applies to the film industry where current distribution strategies and exhibition platforms severely underestimate the audience that exists for foreign and accessible cinema. Translated and accessible versions are usually produced with limited time for little remuneration and traditionally involving zero contact with the creative team. Against this background this book presents accessible filmmaking as an alternative approach integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process through collaboration between translators and filmmakers. The book introduces a wide notion of media accessibility and the concepts of the global version the dubbing effect and subtitling blindness. It presents scientific evidence showing how translation and accessibility can impact the nature and reception of a film by foreign and sensory-impaired audiences often changing the film in a way that filmmakers are not always aware of. The book includes clips from the award-winning film Notes on Blindness on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal testimonies from filmmakers who have adopted this approach and a presentation of the accessible filmmaking workflow and a new professional figure: the director of accessibility and translation. This is an essential resource for advanced students and scholars working in film audiovisual translation and media accessibility as well as for those (accessible) filmmakers who are not only concerned about their original viewers but also about those of the foreign and accessible versions of their films who are often left behind. | Accessible Filmmaking Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process
