The Flow System is a holistic FLOW based approach to delivering Customer 1st Value. It is built on a foundation of the Toyota Production System (TPS/LEAN) and the new Triple Helix of Flow creating the DNA of Organizations.¿The Flow System enables business growth through eliminating non-value-added activities, fostering an environment for innovation, enabling the rapid delivery of value, and shortening the time to market. The Flow System provides a re-imagined system for organizations to understand complex problems, embrace distributed leadership, and build high performing teams.The Triple Helix of Flow relates to the interconnected nature of the three helixes:Complexity Thinking Helix - A new form of thinking to aid the understanding of uncertainty and complex adaptive systems.Distributed Leadership Helix - An emergent hybrid leadership model that is capable of making bold and disruptive moves across an industry.Team Science Helix - A multidisciplinary field that studies all things related to teams and small groups in the workplace.The Triple Helix identified the interactions between and among agents (people, machines, events...) that emerge into new patterns, networks, and knowledge to advance an organization's ability to be more innovative, adaptive, resilient, and agile when operating in complex environments.Endorsements:"The Flow System shows how to generate and nurture self-organizing teams that mobilize the full talents of those doing the work to cope with dizzying change and complexity, while also drawing on the contributions of those for whom the work is being done-the customers."-Steve Denning, author of The Age of Agile"Organizations that pull off this triple helix trick of thinking about the complexity of their systems and the environment in which they're operating, distributed leadership to engage the collective intelligence and creativity of the organization, and building teams of teams so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, have a good chance of keeping up and staying ahead."-Steve Spear, MIT Sloan School senior lecturer, author of The High-Velocity Edge"The Flow System's Triple Helix provides many of the tools and ways of thinking we will need to do that; it is agile without being doctrinaire about Agile."- David Snowden, creator of the Cynefin Framework, Chief Scientific Officer of Cognitive Edge.

Discover from Old Testament Hebrew prophecies, hidden in the annual Jewish celebrations, the ways that God sought to prepare the Jewish people for the coming of their Messiah. He has come as the Passover Lamb of God, and will return soon as the Redeemer of the Nation. The spring feasts of Passover, First Fruits, Unleavened Bread and Pentecost teach us many important truths about the salvation of God, and about the life of victory and celebration he intends for his people to live in this world. The fall feasts, that await the culmination of their prophetic fulfillment, prefigure the return of our Redeemer in glory and power to establish his Kingdom on the earth. The Jewish calendar confirms hidden details of the fulfillment of all these feasts, past and future. A detailed gospel harmony, blended with historical fact, with dates and times for many of the events of surrounding the Last Supper, reveals evidence of how the divine plan brought about the crucifixion, and what took place in the days that followed.

When Lloyd George became Prime Minister during the First World War he appointed a private secretariat to help him run the complex machinery of wartime government.

The polar regions have experienced some remarkable environmental changes in recent decades, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, the loss of large amounts of sea ice from the Arctic Ocean and major warming on the Antarctic Peninsula. The polar regions are also predicted to warm more than any other region on Earth over the next century if greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise. Yet trying to separate natural climate variability from anthropogenic factors still presents many problems. This book presents a thorough review of how the polar climates have changed over the last million years and sets recent changes within a long term perspective. The approach taken is highly cross-disciplinary and the close links between the atmosphere, ocean and ice at high latitudes are stressed. The volume will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students in polar science, climatology, global change, meteorology, oceanography and glaciology.
