• These online booksellers have tended to offer further reductions; their quoted prices will be adjusted to reflect this. But this may take a day or two to show on their websites.

NB: These books are published on a 'print on demand' basis. Please therefore allow up to three weeks between placing an order and receipt of printed copies.

This book - the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of all we have learned so far in the development of PIEs - is intended primarily for PIE leads and PIE champions in any organisation, service or network, who want:

• to be confident of their own understanding of the essence and the potential of PIEs
• to be able to help colleagues managers and others to see this potential
• practical, down to earth advice on introducing these ideas in services

A secondary readership will be those researchers and policy makers who similarly want to grasp what this new approach is about, both in broad terms and in more depth.

The book has multiple links to relevant sections of this website, where these ideas are expressed and explored in more detail. This innovative approach makes it possible to keep the information, analysis and examples in the book constantly updated.
