nudge theory

Nudge theory is a flexible and modern change-management concept for:
understanding of how people think, make decisions, and behave,
helping people improve their thinking and decisions,
managing change of all sorts, and
identifying and modifying existing unhelpful influences on people.
Nudge theory was named and popularized by the 2008 book, 'Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health,
Wealth, and Happiness', written by American academics Richard H Thaler and Cass R Sunstein. The book
 is based strongly on the Nobel prize-winning work of the Israeli-American Daniel Kahneman and Amos 
Tversky. Nudge theory is a highly innovative, effective model for change-management.

corporate governance

Corporate Governance is fascinating, hugely dynamic, and very far-reaching. It grew as a concept in 
response to increasingly serious corporate scandals of the late 1900s, and remains strongly concerned with
 these areas of corporate risk. The ideas surrounding Corporate Governance are increasingly useful for 
small organizations as well as the very biggest. Corporate Governance also offers interesting perspectives 
for leadership, authority, ego, wealth creation, greed, risk, responsibility, ethics, morality, etc., and how 
these issues reconcile or conflict with organizational and market dynamics, and the needs of society, 
environment, quality of life, economic health, etc.

The Psychological Contract is an increasingly relevant aspect of workplace relationships and wider human 
behaviour. Descriptions and definitions of the Psychological Contract first emerged in the 1960s, notably in 
the work of organizational and behavioural theorists Chris Argyris and Edgar Schein. Many other experts 
have contributed ideas to the subject since then, and continue to do so, either specifically focusing on the 
the Psychological Contract, or approaching it from a particular perspective, of which there are many. The 
Psychological Contract is a deep and varied concept and is open to a wide range of interpretations and 
theoretical studies.

maslow's hierarchy of needs

Each of us is motivated by needs. Our most basic needs are inborn, having evolved over tens of thousands of years. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs helps to explain how these needs motivate us all. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs states that we must satisfy each need in turn, starting with the first, which deals with the most obvious needs for survival itself. Only when the lower order needs of physical and emotional well-being are satisfied are we concerned with the higher order needs of influence and personal development.

organizational change, training and learning

Modern principles for organizational change management and effective employee training and development. These principles are for forward-thinking emotionally-mature organizations, who value integrity above results, and people above profit. This is not to say that results and profit don't matter, of course they do. The point is that when you value integrity and people, results and profit come quite naturally...
