Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this book, Dr. Allan Benjamin considers such widely ranging topics as: > The origin of consciousness and our processing of it; > Precognition and our processing of choice and time; > Collective intelligence and the role of DNA; > Emotional connectedness versus self-interest; > The meaning of near-death experiences; > Why there is something rather than "everything"; > Our reality being a computer-like simulation.By synthesizing scientific principles and verified discoveries with the viewpoints of the foremost experts in physics, biology, medicine, philosophy, and psychology, and his own experiences, he develops a separate case for each topic that leads to an integrated case for the nature of reality.To be sure, these subjects have been studied and reported upon by many experts in many fields over many years. Until now, however, practically all of the studies have been pursued from the perspective of either objective science or subjective experience, but not both. What seems to be lacking is a comprehensive accounting that combines objectivism and subjectivism in an integrated manner. In this book, Dr. Benjamin addresses this gap to produce a case for reality that is consistent with both perspectives.Allan Benjamin is a former Senior Technical Fellow and present Independent Consultant specializing in complex topics including the analysis of uncertainties and accounting for unknowns in the planning, development, and execution of large programs of national interest. He has 50 years of experience consulting for NASA, the US Department of Energy, Department of Defense, national laboratories, and large aerospace companies. His current professional efforts are directed toward providing guidance to the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, in the areas of space system safety and risk management.

Hardback. Condition: New. Risk management strategy for the pioneering technological sector Enterprise Risk and Opportunity Management provides much-needed guidance tailored specifically to the technological sector. While most enterprise risk management guides are written for traditional businesses and finance firms, this book translates effective enterprise risk and opportunity management (EROM) principles into strategies and practices that work for government, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations in the technological space. Originally designed for noncommercial pioneering enterprises like NASA, an entire chapter is now devoted toward applying the methods to profit-making technological enterprises. A 40-year veteran of the tech sector, Dr. Allan Benjamin outlines risk management strategies for organizations in which the advancement and integration of science and technology within complex systems is necessary for accomplishment of the mission. Commercial EROM strategies do not translate directly when the development and implementation of risky technologies is the organization's primary objective, and clumsy or near-sighted implementation can easily cripple progress. This book provides authoritative guidance tailored to the sector's specialized needs. Maximize opportunity while effectively managing riskUnderstand the core principles of the technological EROM approach and its interfaces with the management of the organizationComprehend the intricacies of aggregating risks and opportunities from lower to higher levels of the organizationGain expert insights specific to the technology sectorMitigate and control the risk that comes with pursuing discovery In practice, EROM in this sector involves working with mostly qualitative data, and is characterized by high uncertainty. Managing risk without handicapping the organization requires a specific set of adjustments to traditional EROM, and a more nuanced approach to the idea of "acceptable risk. Balance is key in technological EROM, and Enterprise Risk and Opportunity Management provides foundational guidance, real-world strategy, and enlightening examples for getting it right.…
