The curve ahead : discovering the path to unlimited growth
\"Why do most growth companies stop growing? These fast-growing businesses are the engines of economic growth and wealth creation, but most fall behind the curve before reaching their potential. Executives are surprised when their business models mature sooner than expected, victims of the familiar S-Curve. Tragically, once-promising companies are often sold by investors too ready to throw in the towel. So what can leaders do to keep moving forward? To sustain growth, companies need to discover their next S-Curve. But few have a repeatable process for uncovering new opportunities before their core business stalls. The Curve Ahead offers a practical approach to sustaining long-term growth. It describes how growth companies can build innovation into the rhythm of their business operations and culture using design thinking, prototyping, business model design and other Innovation Power Tools. The Curve Ahead utilizes the power of storytelling to illustrate its messages. Power describes how LoJack and Groupon fell behind the curve, while Amazon, Jawbone, Darn Tough Socks and many others have fueled growth with a series of new S-Curves. This book will help thousands of mid-sized companies stay ahead of the curve and discover the path to unlimited revenue growth\"-- Provided by publisher.

SC21 Simwars ireland: intervarsity competition for medical students in emergency medicine
BackgroundSimWars Ireland was founded in 2017 at University College Dublin (UCD) as an intervarsity competition for medical students with a special interest in Emergency Medicine. Its primary aim is to increase the practice of simulation education among students.Project descriptionMedical students from 1st year to 5th year in Ireland’ 6 medical schools train over the course of the academic year, with their respective inter disciplinary coaching teams, consisting of; Paramedics, Nurses, NCHD’s, Consultants and Fire Service Personnel, to have a chance to win the title and host the next SimWars Ireland at their medical school. Technical emergency management skills and Human Factors skills are taught, practiced and debriefed in a simulated environment to medical students. After an initial semifinal, held within the respective medical schools in November, the winning group of students and their respective coaching teams compete in a national competition to win the SimWars Ireland title. Two hundred students participated in the 2019 final in UCC’s ASSERT Centre (https://assert.ucc.ie)DiscussionThe type of learning experienced by the SimWars competitor, emphasizes experiential learning, and introduces patient case scenarios based on real Emergency Department patient presentations such as, abdominal aorta aneurysms, Myocardial Infarction and Upper Gastrointestinal Bleed among others. During the training session debriefs, faculty using structured debrief methods, aim to maximize student learning and translate the lessons learnt to assist the students in applying their learning to improve real clinical performance. This type of learning also offers opportunities for those watching and instructing, as every person involved in the competition can benefit from observing and reflecting on decision making, as well as viewing and discussing practice variations across disciplines and institutions1. SimWars combines a group-learning format, peer learning and individual skill assessment to enhance knowledge and skill performance.ConclusionMedical Students are enthusiastic to participate in and learn and practice their clinical skills in this competition setting. This competition model has application for teaching and learning for other clinical domains and healthcare disciplines, with potential to provide opportunities for future research and human factor training through simulation.ReferencesEndacott R, Gale T, O’Connor A, et al.

It isn't 'business as usual' anymore
Based on my nearly four decades of listening to customers at J.D. Power and Associates, I believe that the auto industry has opportunities to improve the way it harnesses the power of technology to connect with rapidly changing consumer demand and expectations. When you buy a $2 bottle of ketchup at your supermarket, that transaction is captured, analyzed and fed upstream to influence everything from product design to manufacturing schedules to distribution models and advertising campaigns.

Big Nasdaq Dealers Are Reducing Scope Of Market-Making --- Accelerating Trend Causes Concerns That Trading Will Grow Less Efficient
Many dealers, including giant Merrill Lynch & Co. and Bear Stearns Cos., have reduced the number of Nasdaq stocks, particularly smaller ones, in which they are willing to be dealers. Although it's part of a long-term trend since the 1987 stock-market crash, the retreat has accelerated in the past year, as Nasdaq's trading practices have come under harsh scrutiny, and proposed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investor-fairness rules promise to cut into trading profits. An annual survey by Equities magazine, about to be released, confirms the \"ominous trend\" toward reduced market-making activities among big dealers, said Editor Robert Flaherty. He said the latest survey shows that while Nasdaq has enjoyed a tremendous bull market since 1987 -- including an increase in Nasdaq-traded companies to nearly 5,000 from 4,700 and a doubling in share volume -- many of the major Nasdaq dealers are making markets in fewer stocks, not more, as one would expect. For example, Merrill Lynch made markets in 1,900 Nasdaq stocks in 1987, the year of the stock crash; now it makes a market in only 1,000. Bear Stearns's roster of Nasdaq stocks has declined from 500 to 350, according to the Equities survey. Other major dealers also have pulled back, and they say privately that they will continue to do so. Even some that have increased their roster of stocks in recent years -- such as Herzog, Heine, Geduld Inc. -- are now beginning to cut back.

Wristful thinking: exploring the effects of robotic rehabilitation and cross-education for persons with multiple sclerosis
The goal of this work was to develop an adaptive rehabilitation technique using a haptic wrist robot that would induce cross-education to an untrained limb. Fourteen individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and eight non-affected adults completed an eight-week intervention. MS participants were placed into two groups, training their more affected limb (direct training), and training their less affected limb (indirect training). The purpose of the intervention was to improve wrist and grip strength (measured via maximal grip and isometric wrist strength) and motor control (measured via robotic assessments). Participants trained with the robotic device three times per week for eight consecutive weeks. Training consisted of eccentric contractions as the participant resisted a force elicited from the robotic device as it moved in flexion, extension, and radial-ulnar deviation. The MS group reported significant increases in wrist strength. The indirect training group significantly improved in flexion, extension, radial and ulnar deviation in the trained limb, and flexion and radial deviation in the untrained limb. The direct training group showed improvements in extension and ulnar deviation in both limbs. The control group improved in radial and ulnar deviation, with radial deviation improving in the untrained limb. Grip force remained unchanged for all groups. MS participants significantly decreased tracking and figural error post-intervention suggesting evidence that motor control adaptations occurred following an adaptive and resistive robotic intervention of the upper limb. Results of this work provide evidence that eight-week robotic rehabilitation can elicit cross-education effects to the untrained limb.
