 |  |  | |  First Management Role - The FirstEleven things to remember
Abeceder managing director Michael Millward offers some advice to people making that most difficult of career moves from being managed to managing.
Ladder of Interference A Decision Making Tool
Abeceder associate Sue Heward describes the problem-solving and decision making model designed by Chris Argyris known as the Ladder of Inference.
If you have ever wondered how people can reach very different conclusions working from the same facts and data, this model will increase your understanding in order to make and help others’ make effective decisions. I will describe the model and outline why it is useful to your business and how you can use the model to improve decision making in your business.
When Good Workers Turn Bad…What’s keeping your people on the right track?
In a world where we see so many people and projects go off-target, how can you make sure yours stay on the right track? Abeceder Associate Richard Pate explores how what has gone wrong in Iraq for the American military, and compares this to recent commercial scandals to identify how managers can stop their own teams from adopting an anything goes approach, so long as it achieves “the result”.
Mistakes Interviewees make
Michael Millward, Abeceder managing director, describes some of the mistakes he has seen people make during job interviews
How to get headhunted

Cycle2Work schemes as a Salary Sacrifice Benefit
Abeceder managing director Michael Millward explains how providing a Cycle2Work scheme as a salary sacrifice benefit can benefit employers, employees and the environment.
The Creativity Advantage: Is your organisation leader of the pack?
Success in product and service innovation depends on creativity as a key input. Without a healthy and continuing supply of ideas, most organizations would cease to exist. Peter Cook, author of the Best Practice Creativity explains to Abeceder that the fundamental challenge facing leaders in the twenty-first century is how to profit from individual potential and leverage it so that it produces organizational innovation and excellence.
This article takes a strategic view of creativity as a key element of competitive advantage. It outlines the conditions for creativity to flourish and is supported through the use of a number of case studies.
Creativity is not predominantly something that can be ‘forced’ through creativity ‘techniques.’ It depends crucially on the setting of an appropriate context for ideas to emerge and their subsequent mobilisation into innovative products and services. When the context is right techniques can play their part in raising the level and type of creativity within organizations.
