Discover why inclusion is the most valuable metric in your organization, and how it can supercharge every other performance indicator.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is under fire, but attracting and retaining talent is more important than ever. This book introduces an entirely new approach to DEI, showing how and why measuring inclusion is the key for organizations to enjoy higher performance and greater employee satisfaction, without causing any backlash. Measuring Inclusion offers step-by-step directions, sample data, and real-world case studies to help you make meaningful and sustainable improvements in employee recruitment, engagement, productivity, and retention. You will learn to quantify, track, and estimate the financial ROI of your organization’s DEI efforts just as you do with every other business activity—a...
In The Majestic Place: The Freedom Possible in Black Women’s Leadership, editors Wendi S. Williams, Whitneé L. Garrett-Walker, and Nia D. Spooner curate the leadership narratives of Black women leaders from a range of contexts, including education, health, and non-profit industries, in which they serve some of the most vulnerable and chronically disserved. Focused on the stages of women’s intra-personal and spiritual development, this book aims to create an expansive vision of Black women's leadership grounded in lived experience. Contributors to this book are Black women scholar-practitioners who lead in higher stakes context of serving and cultivating people and change. Each was invited to express their leadership experience(s) in essay, poetry, and/or prose form to offer a lens into the interiority of Black women’s leadership praxis that is not always welcomed or heard.

The work presented focuses on well-defined models--robotic, computer-simulation, and mathematical--that help to characterize and compare various organizational principles or architectures underlying adaptive behavior in both natural animals and animats.
Comments by global thought leaders on Business of Staffing: A Talent Agenda: "Your section on how HR needs to change in a digital context is spot on with those twenty points" (M. S. Krishnan, Associate Dean, Global Initiatives, Accenture Professor of Computer Information Systems, Professor of Technology and Operations, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan). "Ganesh Shermon has really nailed it. He really knows this area well. Well worth reading for anyone interested in this field" (Mark Smith, National Industry Leader, Financial services, KPMG LLP; earlier Global Head of People & Change Practice). "A must-read for today's HR professionals as they seek to learn evidence-based practices as they transform their talent management performance" (Laura Croucher, Americas leader, KPMG HR, Transformation Centre of Excellence).
This book presents state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems and offers a vision of future research. Featuring 143 papers from the 4th Future Technologies Conference, held in San Francisco, USA, in 2019, it covers a wide range of important topics, including, but not limited to, computing, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, security and communications and their applications to the real world. As such, it is an interesting, exciting and inspiring read.
Neural Systems for Robotics represents the most up-to-date developments in the rapidly growing aplication area of neural networks, which is one of the hottest application areas for neural networks technology. The book not only contains a comprehensive study of neurocontrollers in complex Robotics systems, written by highly respected researchers in the field but outlines a novel approach to solving Robotics problems. The importance of neural networks in all aspects of Robot arm manipulators, neurocontrol, and Robotic systems is also given thorough and in-depth coverage. All researchers and students dealing with Robotics will find Neural Systems for Robotics of immense interest and assistance. Focuses on the use of neural networks in robotics-one of the hottest application areas for neural networks technology Represents the most up-to-date developments in this rapidly growing application area of neural networks Contains a new and novel approach to solving Robotics problems
Papers comprising this volume were presented at the first IEEE Conference on [title] held in Denver, Co., Nov. 1987. As the limits of the digital computer become apparent, interest in neural networks has intensified. Ninety contributions discuss what neural networks can do, addressing topics that in
This two volume set provides the complete proceedings of the 1990 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks held in Washington, D.C. Complete with subject, author, and title indices, it provides an invaluable reference to the current state-of-the-art in neural networks. Included in this volume are the latest research results, applications, and products from over 2,000 researchers and application developers from around the world. Ideal as a reference for researchers and practitioners of neuroscience, the two volumes are divided into eight sections: * Neural and Cognitive Sciences * Pattern Recognition and Analysis of Network Dynamics * Learning Theory * Plenary Lecture by Bernard Widrow * Special Lectures on Self-Organizing Neural Architectures * Application Systems and Network Implementations * Robotics, Speech, Signal Processing, and Vision * Expert Systems and Other Real-World Applications
Swarm robotics can be defined as the study of how a swarm of relatively simple physically embodied agents can be constructed to collectively accomplish tasks that are beyond the capabilities of a single one. Unlike other studies on multi-robot systems, swarm robotics emphasizes self-organization and emergence, while keeping in mind the issues of scalability and robustness. These emphases promote the use of relatively simple robots, equipped with localized sensing ability, scalable communication mechanisms, and the exploration of decentralized control strategies. This state-of-the-art survey is the first book devoted to swarm robotics. It is based on the First International Workshop on Swarm Robotics held in Santa Monica, CA, USA in July 2004 as part of SAB 2004
