This book is the third in a series from UKTV. It explores current trends and considers future developments in the UK broadcasting industry.
Finding, managing and exploiting the right talent is a hot topic for all industries, but especially so for those working in TV, where the talent can often mean the difference between a smash hit or a ratings failure.
The contributors to this book come from all corners of the entertainment business, from agents to broadcasters, producers to PRs – and even the talent themselves.

The Lottery Debate - Introduction by Sir Digby Jones
The ideas explored in this book chart the emergence and impact of the arrival of The National Lottery over 11 years ago. While
still relatively new, the lottery is now firmly embedded in the fabric of society.
The topic is an important one because the third licence to run the National Lottery is now open for tender, and whoever wins the bid will shape the future of this national institution for at least the next 10 years.

People, Projects and Change by Pat Pegg Jones and Simon Standish
Project Management is increasingly seen as the way to do business in commercial and public organisations. While project work can be exhilarating and exciting, it is also, by its nature, pressurised and at times uncertain and messy.
People, Projects and Change provides a succinct and systematic approach to setting up and running projects. The authors combine the hard wiring discipline of project management with the more subtle psychology associated with change. They do so with pragmatism that is born of many years experience as successful consultants and project managers.

New Language for the New Medium of Television - editor Beverly Clarke
People are watching more television - and more TV advertising - than ever as the supply of TV channels via conventional TV and new emerging TV platforms, such as mobile and the web, continues to rise. How they are watching is changing fundamentally, however, and understanding this new behaviour is a challenge.
This book explores how the dynamics and economics of the new medium of TV are impacting on the way business is conducted across the industry.

The Next Big Thing - A collection of essays musing and rants about the future of British Broadcasting, foreword by Dick Emery UKTV
In the fast moving industry of television it is easy to be proved wrong when predicting the future. Thought leadership is risky in any business, but particularly so in broadcasting. The contributors to this book are already successful. They are the thought leaders of broadcasting who are prepared to put their heads above the parapet and tell us what they believe will be The Next Big Thing…
'You'll want to get your hands on a copy of this book which features contributions from some of the most dynamic and provocative people working in television today. You don't have to agree with them - but you'd be wise not to ignore them."
- Alex Graham Chair of PACT

21st Century Asylums? - Essays about low secure hospitals in the field of learning disabilities, St Lukes Hospital Group
21st Century asylums? is a collection of essays published on behalf of the St Luke's Hospital group to debate the issues around caring for people with learning disabilities and mental health problems.
The essays in this book are about health and humanity in the 21st century. They are all underpinned by a thought from Dr Jack Piachaud's first essay: 'Essential for all our health is tolerance, acceptance and belonging. Health for all, means a shift away from the radical competition between peoples that drives conflict and an insistence that all people belong to humanity'.
Institutional care is essential for many people with learning disabilities and troubled minds or severe behavioural problems. Where and when it is needed it should be in a form consistent with the values of our age. The St. Luke's Hospital Group has already commenced this process defining and lighting up the pathway that others will eventually come to tread.

TV in 2014, editor Elaine Robertson, foreword Dick Emery, UKTV
Predicting the future of television is a dangerous game unless you plan to leave the industry before you are proved wrong. Even top City analysts don't run business models further than five years. However all of the writers in this book are long term players. We should take their picture of the future seriously if we want to survive the maelstrom of our fast-changing industry. This book explores the development of programme genres - comedy, factual, reality and drama - by the people who know. It contains some logical predictions (and one or two wild guesses) as to how the key areas of technology and rights management will affect TV in the next ten years.

Connected Schools, editor Michelle Selinger, Cisco Systems
The 17 essays in Connected Schools present the most up-to-date insight into the direction of education in the next decade. Contributors* include government ministers, academic researchers, practitioners and students from Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Canada and Australia, who all face similar challenges and more or less share a common vision.
Among the contributors is David Miliband, the UK minister of state for school standards who writes: "ICT holds the potential to drive forward a revolution in English education. I believe it can help build a universal education system tailored to the needs and talents of individual students."
Mike Tomlinson, a previous chief inspector of schools in the United Kingdom and chairman of the Working Group on 14-19 Reform for the U.K. government said, "The key messages ... appear to be that the structures in which learning and teaching occur need to change, that ICT has a major role to play in learning and that skills need to be given greater emphasis."

Connected Cities, editor Simon Willis, Cisco Systems
The ideas explored in Connected Cities chart the emergence of a political and economic phenomenon - the city as the new connected republic of the 21st Century. Simon Willis, European Head of eGovernment at Cisco Systems, has collated essays that show how different cities, at the cutting edge of the process, are grappling with the various stages of connectivity
There are striking differences between their experiences. But they also have certain things in common. They are driven by their citizens' demands for political re-engagement and for better, more responsive, more accessible city services. They are also driven by competitive forces; as they look outside their nation state boundaries to define what they are going to be in the future and how they are going to be successful in he newly emerging global environment, the successful city learns not just how to work differently within and between its departments and agencies but how to collaborate with its inhabitants on the project and make them part of the success of their own city - thus giving ownership of the city back to its citizens.

Connected Health, editor Kevin Dean, Cisco Systems
Health is a topic that is consistently debated and the highest priority on the agenda of citizens, public servants, and nations. The advent of the internet and communication technologies is changing the way we care. This intellectually stretching collection of essays highlights the drivers for changing the way information is used to deliver better, faster, lower cost healthcare - and describes real-world experience.
Connected Government, editor Willi Kaczorowski, Cisco Systems
Willi Kaczorowski reveals the e-government strategies of those countries at the forefront of the e-government initiative: The government strategies featured in this book focus on a key theme - how the role of the citizen can be enhanced in a connected world. All governments hope to improve services for their citizens but they take many different approaches. All put their citizens at the centre of their strategy; but the organizational and cultural visions informing their e-government strategies vary. Some have focused on governance structures - others on seizing national competitive advantage. Some have been striving to exploit the benefits of connectivity for the past twenty years, while others have made great strides in a very short time.
Different countries also have different attitudes to privacy and security. While the new global economy demands that governments be increasingly competitive, issues of trust and accountability have also never been more pertinent. The contributors to this book raise the question of how our societies will develop in future - inheriting the best principles and ideals of the past, while seizing the emerging solutions of the future.

Connected Homes, editor Fernando Gil de Bernabe y Varela, Cisco Systems
The communications industry is undergoing massive change, and nowhere is that more evident than in the arena of consumer broadband. Virtually every service provider is attempting to capture this still-nascent but exploding market-from incumbents, alternative service providers, and cable and satellite operators to mobile and Internet portals. This selection of essays provides a look at the forces that are shaping the consumer broadband market, with the goal of helping service providers adapt to and profit from this opportunity.
