Making a Date For Behaviour Change

Every year the National Health Service loses a staggering £950m because of missed appointments, or DNAs (did not attends) – no-shows who fail to cancel their appointments. Twelve million GP appointments are missed at a cost of £162m and 7.1m hospital appointments at a cost of £788m. Not only do missed appointments incur financial losses in terms of underused specialists and equipment, and increased administration costs, but the patient population loses slots that are in high demand and the patients who DNA do not get the healthcare they need.

Have You Checked For Slavery In Your Supply Chain? If Not Then You Should

With the world realizing what the effects of forced labor and modern day slavery can do to them, major companies that have identified slavery within their supply chains are creating better plans to rid of this problem. As we’ve seen in recent months major companies, such as Nestle, have found that suppliers within their supply chains have been using the elements of human slavery to increase production. With consumers becoming more aware of what is exactly involved in the products they buy and the sources that companies use to create these products, it has really become top priority for many companies to be aware of the pending social, economical, and ethical issues.

Passing the Torch: Insights for the Next Generation of Senior Leaders

As I near retirement, I’m reflecting more on my career and the learnings that shaped my rise into senior leadership. I didn’t climb straight up the proverbial corporate ladder – but I looked at every new job as an opportunity to expand who I was as a leader. It seems only fitting to pass along a few of my most valued experiences to the next generation of senior leaders.

Big Data to Build Sharper Profiles of Consumer Commerce at the City Level

Mixed signals. It’s a far too common phrase used by U.S. economists, policymakers and market analysts who are trying to interpret the latest economic data. Whether it’s understanding the Federal Reserve’s thinking on interest rates, or decoding Black Friday consumer spending - mixed signals are reported too often. True at the national level, these mixed signals, or no signals at all, are even more prevalent at the city level.
