The Art of Control Engineering provides a refreshingly new and practical treatment of the study of control systems. The opening chapters assume no prior knowledge of the subject and are suitable for use in introductory courses. The material then progresses smoothly to more advanced topics such as nonlinear systems, Kalman filtering, robust control, multivariable systems and discrete event controllers. Taking a practical perspective, the text demonstrates how the various techniques fit into the overall picture of control and stresses the ingenuity required in choosing the best tool for each job and deciding how to apply it. The most important topics are revisited at appropriate levels throughout the book, building up progressively deeper layers of knowledge. The Art of Control Engineering is an essential core text for undergraduate degree courses in control, electrical and electronic, systems and mechanical engineering. Its broad, practical coverage will also be very useful to postgraduate students and practising engineers.

The Irresistible Value Proposition: Make the Customer Want What You're Selling and Want It Now

Value Lifecycle

The Compelling Proposal builds on the principles in The Irresistible Value Proposition to transform the document that everyone loves to hate-on both sides of the deal-into a concise seven-page tool for bridging selling and negotiation.Written in the customer's language, your compelling proposal will dramatically increase engagement by presenting multiple acceptable options to the buyer, giving them a rare opportunity to participate in crafting a deal that is good for both sides.As a result, you will establish trust, build credibility, and make it easy for the customer to buy from you!From the book: "The current state of supplier proposals is truly abysmal.""The compelling proposal is focused on the customer, the outcomes they are trying to achieve, the deal levers that will best enable them to achieve those results, and options for moving forward. What customer would not like that?""Your role is to make it easy for the customer to choose you and your firm by building trust and credibility while managing any uncertainty surrounding the deal.""If you want your customer to trust you, show them what you know about their business, not what you know about yours."

Must-Win Deals: How To Close Them (And Why We Lose Them)

About the Author\nSteve Thompson is Managing Partner at Value Lifecycle™, which helps companies position, negotiate, and close critical business deals. In the past twenty-plus years, he has worked on more than $17 billion in B2B deals (for sellers and buyers) in dozens of industries. He previously worked in senior operations, sales, and executive management at Westinghouse, Black & Decker, and DuPont. Steve also served as a nuclear submarine officer in the US Navy.\nThe Painless Negotiation leverages the principles of The Compelling Proposal to turn “negotiations” into straightforward business discussions on how to best maximize the value in a deal for both parties.\nUsing just three key concepts, anyone can accurately diagnose which side has the power, how compelling a deal is and to whom, how to trade to overcome obstacles, and how to frame the “right negotiation” to implement the best negotiation strategy.\nNegotiating the “right way” then means ensuring we always trade (versus concede) and that no single thing is ever taken off the table—or agreed to—until the whole deal is agreed to.\nFrom the book:\n“The formal negotiation is ... where either all the good things you’ve done can pay big dividends, or all the ‘sins’ you’ve committed will have to be atoned for.”\n“Not creating value when selling and/or failing to ensure value delivery from previous purchases ... are the primary reasons that deals get stuck at the point of negotiation.”\n“While it may seem counterintuitive, it is easier to negotiate a deal with a dozen deal levers on the table than with just one or two.”\n“How you manage the negotiation with procurement will have a big influence on how the customer feels about the deal they make with you.”

Get credit for that value, and make it the cornerstone of an ongoing, mutually beneficial relationship between buyer and seller. 
From the book: “Your goal is not to just win a deal but to win a long-term customer, one that will renew readily and proactively bring new opportunities for you to grow the relationship.” “We should always remember how difficult it is for the customer to buy—and then demonstrate internally that they made a good business decision.” “When you deliver value to the people that matter, you make it very hard for a competitor to steal that business.” “Simply put, Past Value Delivered drives customer retention and growth.”
