        Most Wanted: Chef der Zukunft m/w/d. Über den Wandel der Chef-Rolle in einer digitalisierten Welt

        by Vera Starker

        "Most Wanted: Chief of the future m/f/d. About the changing role of the CEO in a digitalized world." Honored with the Longlist of the Stiftung Deutsche Buchkunst 2020. Author: Vera Starker In times of VUCA and digital change, managers* face special challenges. From one day to the next, they have to completely change structures and strategies that have been successful up to now in order to act as 'digital leaders' with a new attitude. Is that realistic? "Most Wanted:" offers a professional foray through all topics relevant to the digital-cultural revolution and provides concrete impulses on how to succeed in the role of manager. One focus is on the (inner) steering behavior of people in decision-making positions who are supposed to make their companies fit for the future. Based on relevant study results, ideas, impulses, tools and model approaches for managing companies in digital-cultural change are presented. The author: Vera Starker accompanies board members, managers and executives with hypnosystemic concepts in challenging management situations, change processes and in the digital-cultural development of their companies. Her first book "Hypnosystemic Perspectives in Change Management" was published in 2017 by Springer Gabler Verlag. Vera Starker is a business psychologist, Senior Coach at DBVC, MBA in systemic organizational development and a lawyer specializing in business law.

        Projektmanagement mal anders – humorvoll und leicht verständlich

        by Froschauer, Uwe

        “Project Management Improved”, the first part of the series “Management Areas”, shows this often rather dully presented topic from an easy/going and humorous perspective, without missing the appropriate depth. All main issues such as project organization, phases and tasks of an project, multi/project/management, project management standards, criteria for success as well as choice of software are included in this book. Management topics that are relevant for a business’ day/to/day business can be also be transferred to projects: Projects are planned and overseen, responsibilities distributed for specific project activities, and the actions of involved staff are aimed at the completion of the project. However, some specifics, e.g. ways of thinking and working are characteristic for project work. Parallel to building and IT examples, the project “Wedding” will serve to illustrate the most important tasks and phases of a project in an entertaining and playful way.

        Hey, Not So Fast!

        Using slow thinking to make good decisions in complex times

        by Frank Habermann, Karen Schmidt

        Don’t believe everything you think!A toolbox for better decisions in complex situations As humans, we make decisions based on information delivered by our perception. Our perception, in turn, is shaped by our values, principles and assumptions. As such, it is also error-prone: it acts as a filter, which means we only perceive those elements of informationthat slot neatly into our existing mental models. Fast thinking is our natural mode of thinking. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman has shown how fast thinking reliably produces good results on familiar terrain – but that that is where its usefulness ends. In situations that are ‘non-routine’ for their respective participants –  such as those we experience every day in the corporate environment – fast thinking frequently leads to perceptual distortions. In a complex environment, experiential knowledge cannot be relied upon alone. Instead, the fast-paced VUKA world demands ‘slow thinking’: an opposite mode of thinking that, if used correctly, can enable more effective use of time more through the systematic, deliberate analysis of information. In this workbook for practitioners, Frank Habermann and Karen Schmidt guide readers to sharpen their perception in complex decision-making situations and follow an effective process. They equip readers with a range of tools and techniques, focusing on genuinely viable solutions and approaches that flourish under the pressure of everyday business. By applying the authors’ fundamental concepts, decision-makers in organisations are empowered to blaze a trail with good decisions. We are all faced with big decisions. This book shows how they are better made together.

        The ITSM Process Design Guide

        Developing, Reengineering, and Improving IT Service Management

        by Donna Knapp, CPDE, ITIL ExpertTM

        The Definitive Source for Certified Process Design Engineers IT organizations increasingly recognize the need to design, re-design, and improve their internal IT service management (ITSM) processes. While popular frameworks such as the IT Infrastructure Library™ (ITIL®), Control Objectives for IT (COBIT®), Microsoft® Operations Framework (MOF), and the ISO/IEC 20000 standard describe what to do, they do not describe the mechanics of how to do it. The ITSM Process Design Guide: Developing, Reengineering and Improving IT Service Management closes the knowledge gap by providing detailed guidance on assessing, designing, measuring, and integrating ITSM processes. The advice and techniques in this book apply unilaterally to every IT service provider and ITSM framework, standard, and maturity model. While other books may touch on process design methods and techniques, there is no other publication dedicated specifically to developing, re-engineering and improving ITSM processes. This guide is also the definitive reference source for the Certified Process Design Engineer (CPDE®) qualification. The CPDE qualification imparts and validates knowledge of best practices in the assessment, design, integration, implementation, and management of ITSM processes. It recognizes the value of having a qualified CPDE within an organization and has been endorsed by The APM Group (ITIL's official accreditor) as a complementary qualification for the ITIL Qualification Scheme.

        by Premi Shiv

        A summary of the challenges facing today’s IT project manager Discussions on project management forums highlight many of the challenges facing a project manager during the course of a project. Unclear requirements, scope creep and undefined roles are well-trodden issues that can derail a project. Other challenges are less obvious, often more subtle, but equally destructive. Facing up to the challenges This book offers a focused and concise summary of 50 challenges facing today’s IT project manager. The authors draw on years of practical experience (rather than classroom theory) to outline these challenges and offer useful tips and advice on how to deal with them. Challenge and response Readers of this book will be better equipped to respond to key project management challenges, including Building the team – getting the right resources, matching skills/knowledge, defining roles and responsibilities. Project scope – clarifying assumptions, avoiding ambiguity, getting the time/cost estimates right. Politics – communicating with management and stakeholders, dealing with conflict, handling interference and micro-managing. Risk awareness – identifying inside/outside influences, recognising inbound and outbound dependencies. Time management – using the right planning tools, balancing work versus meetings. Failure – handling the blame game, protecting the team, rescuing the project. This book condenses into a handy summary much of the information and advice that can be found in project management related books and discussion forums. It is an ideal reference for anyone involved in IT project management, from professional service organisations (PSO) and project management offices (PMO), through to active project managers and studying graduates.
