Mary O'Hara Devereaux: Books & Videos
Navigating the Badlands: Thriving in the Decade of Radical Transformation In this groundbreaking book, Mary O'Hara-Devereaux -- an internationally renowned business forecaster -- shows how organizations can hone their competitive edge during these uncertain times. Using the metaphor of traveling through the badlands of the American West, Navigating the Badlands offers the principles, tools, transformative strategies, and essential understanding executives and business leaders need if they are to weather the rugged, global business landscape of the future. Throughout the book O'Hara-Devereaux reveals how business leaders can seize the opportunity to create new value from successful alliances, reach global markets, and find top talent. Order Here GlobalWork: Bridging Distance, Culture and Time While many of the books on the globalization of business, society, or telecommunications focus on technology, and others consider cultural diversity, few have dealt with both issues simultaneously. The authors, both of whom are affiliated with a research and consulting organization called the Institute for the Future, discuss the problems of team building and group activities when team or group members are dispersed--separated by time, distance, and cultures. Using results from the institute's five-year "Groupware Outlook Project," they cover cross-cultural communication, process facilitation, remote teamwork, and the use of information technology to minimize distances and take advantage of differences. While their scope is truly multinational, the authors target the U.S. and its relations with the Pacific Rim nations, Mexico, and Canada. Order Here
