Human-Centered Lean Six Sigma: Creating a Culture of Integrated Operational Excellence
by Hung Le Grace DuffyThis book focuses on the human side of organizational culture. The authors approach organizational culture from the perspective of alignment to mission, vision, and values. Using a Lean Six Sigma structure, the sequence of chapters begins with the organization and its structure, then drills through strategic, operational, and tactical levels of process and behavior which establish and grow the overall culture of the organization over time. The book begins with foundational principles of organization, through the necessity of aligning processes and systems to mission and vision, assessment, gap analysis for improvement, prioritization, and chapters on qualitative and quantitative approaches for reducing variation and improving systems and behavior. Through this book, readers will: Learn the foundation and core concepts of the organization Discover the "right" focus of shifting the culture of the organization Recognize the building blocks of organizational culture and how to integrate them into a successful, customer-focused system of interconnected processes Focus on people as drivers of technology, rather than the reverse Explore techniques to address the challenges and concerns of today’s training and deployment for organizational performance excellence Use the chapters as short discussions or training workshops for either internal education or public/private technical education.
Human-Centered Marketing: How to Connect with Audiences in the Age of AI
by Ashley FausWith the rise of AI, excess of distribution channels, and focus on tracking every touchpoint in order to drive revenue, consumer trust is at an all-time low. To restore trust, brands need to create delightful, seamless, and impactful journeys to connect with the humans behind the screen.Human-Centered Marketing introduces three frameworks to help mid-senior-level marketers find, connect with, and convert audiences. The book helps you map an audience journey that behaves like a playground instead of a linear funnel, evolve the approach to social media to go beyond conversations and instead facilitate and engage with the community and build thought leaders, to build trust and move your audience into the future.Each chapter includes practical advice to help seasoned marketers shift their strategy and offers tactical implementation recommendations. All chapters include real-world examples from companies like Adobe, Hubspot, and Edelman to demonstrate that this shift from the standard playbook actually works.

Human-Centered Urban Planning and Design in China: Urban Design and Mobility (GeoJournal Library #130)
by Jason Cao Weifeng Li Lingqian HuThis book provides insights and discusses human-centered urban design and placemaking, human activities and urban mobility in China. It argues that sustainable urban design and mobility should be “people-centered” and concerned about “place-making” in the new era of Chinese urbanization. Successful urban design and placemaking should adopt interdisciplinary approaches to planning and designing “space” and “place”. A core vision is the delivery of urban spaces that can cater to the needs of an increasingly diverse crowd of urban dwellers calling cities home. The book prompts Chinese urbanists to reconsider and explore a sustainable and people-first planning and design approach with Chinese characteristics. The breadth and depth of this book is of particular interest to those faculty members, students, practitioners and the general public who are interested in subjects like urban design, transport planning, mobility analysis and planning, housing and community development, infrastructure planning, environmental planning, social equity and beyond. This book discussing human-centered urban design and placemaking, human activities and urban mobility is part of a 2 volume set. Volume I deals with human-centered urban planning and development, rural planning and urban-rural coordination in China.
Human-Centered Urban Planning and Design in China: Urban and Rural Planning (GeoJournal Library #129)
by Jason Cao Weifeng Li Lingqian HuThis book explores a more human-centered development pathway associated with the ideological shift from "quantity" to "quality" growth in the new era of Chinese urbanization.

The authors argue that successful urban and rural development in China should promote social equity, culture diversity, economic prosperity and sustainable built form. This book prompts Chinese urbanists to reconsider and explore a sustainable and people-first planning approach with Chinese characteristics. The breadth and depth of this book is of particular interest to the faculty members, students, practitioners and the general public who are interested in subjects like urban and regional planning, rural planning, housing and community development, infrastructure planning, climate change and ecological planning, environmental planning, social equity and beyond.

Human-Centric AI with Common Sense (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Science)
by Filip IlievskiThis book enables readers to understand the challenges and opportunities of developing human-centered AI with commonsense reasoning abilities. Despite apparent accuracy improvements brought by large neural models across task benchmarks, common sense is still lacking. The lack of common sense affects many tasks, including story understanding, decision-making, and question answering. Commonsense knowledge and reasoning have long been considered the “black matter” of AI, raising concerns about the trustworthiness and applicability of AI methods in both autonomous and hybrid applications. This book describes how to design a more robust, collaborative, explainable, and responsible AI through incorporating neuro-symbolic commonsense reasoning. In addition, the book provides examples of how these properties of AI can facilitate a wide range of social-good applications in digital democracy, traffic monitoring, education, and robotics. What makes commonsense reasoning such a unique and impactful challenge? What can we learn from cognitive research when designing and developing AI systems? How can we approach building responsible, robust, collaborative, and explainable AI with common sense? And finally, what is the impact of this work on human-AI teaming? This book provides an accessible introduction and exploration of these topics.
