Unionism Decayed is the book that finally lifts the lid on the catastrophic failure of political unionism over the past decade. The alleged "peace process" which culminated in the Good Friday Agreement has been a monumental fraud and this book shows how unionist participation in it has profoundly weakened the Union, rewarded terrorists and facilitated the corruption of the democratic process.This book also confounds the accepted wisdom of the political establishment that appeasement of terrorists is a price worth paying. It forcefully points out that doing wrong can never be right. From the Ulster Unionist David Trimble's first faltering steps into the IRA/Sinn Fein boudoir in 1997 to Democratic Unionist Ian Paisley's full blooded embrace of Martin McGuinness in 2007, this book charts the serial failure of the leadership of Unionism to stand by its principles. It also provides a candid insight into the various major unionist personalities over this ten year period. It laments the shameful betrayal of the RUC, the subversion of the established Churches, the tragic self- defeat of the Orange Order and the elevation of loyalist terrorists as spokesmen for this brave new world.This book is essential reading for anyone who supports the aims of the global war on terror. It clearly demonstrates that an honourable peace cannot be bought by appeasing evil, it must be won by defeating it. The institutionalising of terrorism in Northern Ireland sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of the democratic world. The corrupt template it provides encourages terrorist groups everywhere - from Hamas, to ETA, to FARC.Edmund Burke observed that "The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion". Unionism Decayed shows how democracy is twisted out of all recognition when the State and its many agencies maintain such delusions

Your Groundbreaking Framework for Measurement and ReportingMost people find measurement, analytics, and reporting daunting--and L&D professionals are no different. As these practices have become critically important for organizations' efforts to improve performance, talent development professionals have often been slow to embrace them for many reasons, including the seeming complexity and challenge of the practices. Few organizations have a well-thought-out measurement and reporting strategy, and there are often scant resources, limited time, and imperfect data to work with when organizations do attempt to create one.Measurement Demystified: Creating Your L&D Measurement, Analytics, and Reporting Strategy is a much-needed and welcomed resource that breaks new ground with a framework to simplify the discussion of measurement, analytics, and reporting as it relates to L&D and talent development practitioners. This book helps practitioners select and use the right measures for the right reasons; select, create, and use the right types of reports; and create a comprehensive measurement and reporting strategy.Recognizing the angst and reluctance people often show in these areas, authors and experts David Vance and Peggy Parskey break down the practices and processes by providing a common language and an easy-to-use structure. They describe five types of reports, four broad reasons to measure, and three categories of measures. Their method works for large and small organizations, even if yours is an L&D staff of one or two. The guidance remains the same: Start small and grow. Measurement Demystified is a great first book for talent development professionals with no prior knowledge of or experience with measurement and a valuable resource for measurement experts. Those adept at lower levels of training evaluation will grow their knowledge base and capabilities, while measurement experts will discover shortcuts and nuggets of information to enhance their practices. A more comprehensive treatment of these important topics will not be found elsewhere.

Designed to improve your measurement capability and advance the measurement maturity of your organization, the Measurement Demystified Field Guide presents a refresher on the talent development reporting principles framework and measurement strategy.

The Measurement Demystified Field Guide is that bridge. 
 Review 
This book is designed to help L&D professionals advance their skills in an area where many fear to tread: measurement. It focuses on applying the Talent Development Reporting principles (TDRp) so L&D can bridge the communication gap that exists when explaining the true value and impact of development efforts to business leaders. If Measurement Demystified explains what the principles are and why they are important, the Measurement Demystified Field Guide explains how to use them. This is where practical insights are delivered and skill-building occurs. As a soup-to-nuts guide, professionals will likely need a second, unused copy to share with colleagues. -- John R Mattox, Sr. Principal, Sales Engineer, TalentNeuron, Gartner\nPeggy and Dave have hit the mark, yet again. Their new book, Measurement Demystified Field Guide offers thought-provoking and actionable exercises that will move any reader's measurement practice forward. -- Patti P Phillips, CEO, ROI Institute\nMeasurement Demystified Field Guide aims to help increase your organization's capability and capacity to improve its overall performance. Think of it as a coach―it uses templates and reflective exercises to break down processes into simple and doable chunks of work to help you build and expand your measurement muscle and expertise. -- Kimo Kippen, Founder, Aloha Learning Advisors; Former CLO, Hilton\nMy copy of Measurement Demystified Field Guide is already dog-eared and shopworn on my desk. It offers clear case studies, suggestions and opportunities to reflect on the practices that will help make L&D a greater contributor to business success. -- Cushing Anderson, Vice President for IT Education and Skills Research, IDC
