Reinventing Education

Dr Alan Watkins & Dr Matt Silver

Beyond the Knowledge Economy

The need for change in the education system is obvious and overwhelming. But each stakeholder group has its own ideas about why the system is broken and how to fix it. Competing priorities, political inertia and diminishing budgets maintain the dysfunctional status quo.

This essential text examines the underlying causes behind the key challenges facing schools and argues that we need to move from knowledge transfer systems to a deliberately developmental approach that transforms capabilities including emotional regulation, systems thinking, critical analysis, creativity and collaborative capability.

How Leaders Build & Break Trust

In 2020, a global pandemic struck, but by the end of 2021, a second, unrelated pandemic emerged—a cultural virus of deceit, threatening humanity more than the virus itself. This cultural virus thrives on dishonesty, with lies becoming a skill that propels individuals to the highest offices in government and business.

Dishonesty is now rewarded, and deceit is so common that daily deception no longer shocks us. Business leaders must become Truth Activists, re-examining their own relationship with the truth and taking a stand to survive.

“Lie-Ability: How Leaders Build & Break Trust” offers a way to combat this cultural virus and halt the decay of truth.

HR (R)Evolution

Dr Alan Watkins & Nick Dalton

Change the Workplace, Change the World

Observers suggest that capitalism is damaging our planet and concentrating power in a few companies. With short-termism, leveraged debt, digitisation, and disruption as the new normal, we face two possible futures: a regression to the harsh days of the early Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression, or a world of abundance and prosperity. Business, particularly HR, will play a crucial role in determining our path.

“The HR (R)Evolution: Change the Workplace, Change the World” explores the evolution of HR and its pivotal role in shaping our future. It outlines the “Seven Great Waves” of change and their impact on business, highlighting how some companies remain stuck in the past and how HR can lead the way forward. This book is for senior business leaders and HR professionals who understand that people issues are the central challenge of our time. Embracing future waves of change will determine our survival and prosperity. The future is in our hands.

Step Change

Dr Alan Watkins

The Leader’s Journey

Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, this book provides a universal roadmap for change, from the comfort zone to post-delivery inspiration. The journey unfolds through four stages: Discover, Decide, Develop, and Deliver. “Step Change” offers a proven formula to identify where you are on the Change Wheel, anticipate each step, and avoid pitfalls. Mastering this cycle helps leaders manage both personal and organisational change effectively.

Dr Alan Watkins

Competitive Advantage through Vertical Leadership Development

In “4D Leadership,” neuroscientist and leadership coach Dr. Alan Watkins offers a groundbreaking framework based on adult development research. This isn’t just an upgrade in skills; it’s an evolution to the next level of leadership.

“4D Leadership” is essential for anyone overwhelmed by job demands, stressed about maintaining competitive advantage through innovation, or seeking to develop a more responsive and effective leadership strategy.

Innovation Sucks

Dr Alan Watkins & Simon May

Time to Think Differently

Businesses spend billions on innovation with little return. This book challenges traditional innovation methods and offers a new approach.

Innovation is about successfully commercialising novel ideas. Instead of costly problem assessments, an ‘impeller approach’ starts with solutions and lets the market pull the best ones forward, enabling fast failures or successes. This process is guided by a ‘bee’—an integrative thinker who gathers existing knowledge from experts. By reversing the traditional process, organisations can better succeed in the market.

Given high innovation failure rates and complex societal issues, it’s time to rethink innovation. This book is essential for Heads of Innovation, Directors of Marketing, New Product and Service Development leaders, Strategy Directors, Chief Technology Officers, and policy makers.
