Book Synopsis From Silos to Network: A New Kind of Science for Management by : Domenico Lepore
Download or read book From Silos to Network: A New Kind of Science for Management written by Domenico Lepore and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the conceptual framework and a comprehensive guide to the principles, methods and tools for managing organizations. The authors introduce “New Knowledge” by presenting a methodology, 'The Decalogue’, that portrays a genuinely systemic approach for managing complexity in organizations and Value Chains through focusing on the management of a leverage point called constraint (Theory of Constraints) and the understanding of variation (Theory of Profound Knowledge). This systemic approach leverages the intrinsic process and project-based nature of the work of organizations. Functional hierarchy is replaced by a network-like structure, driven by the goal of the system and governed by a new design of the organization called “Network of Projects”. The transition towards the Network of Projects requires a cognitive shift in the way we view and put to good use human talent and ingenuity as well as a powerful algorithm to orchestrate and synchronize individual competencies. The authors discuss at length this algorithm, how the Theory of Constraints helps in the cognitive challenges of this shift and also how technology can be used fruitfully to assist with the operational implications. The target audience for this book is made up of leaders and managers of organizations as well as researchers and practitioners in the field of management and organizational design.

Book Synopsis Silos, Politics and Turf Wars by : Patrick M. Lencioni
Download or read book Silos, Politics and Turf Wars written by Patrick M. Lencioni and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In yet another page-turner, New York Times best-selling author and acclaimed management expert Patrick Lencioni addresses the costly and maddening issue of silos, the barriers that create organizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals. As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars as a fictional—but eerily realistic—story. The story is about Jude Cousins, an eager young management consultant struggling to launch his practice by solving one of the more universal and frustrating problems faced by his clients. Through trial and error, he develops a simple yet ground-breaking approach for helping them transform confusion and infighting into clarity and alignment.
Download or read book Silo written by Douglas McMaster and published by Leaping Hare Press. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A seriously eye opening, inspiring and thought-provoking book!” - Nathan Outlaw “This is not a cook book but a true source of knowledge and inspiration.” - Zero Waste Europe “I’ve always said that it’s in a chef’s DNA to utilize what would otherwise be thrown away. We are hardwired to take the uncoveted and make it delicious. But Doug McMaster is on another level entirely—he is doing some of the most thorough and thoughtful work on food waste today. This book gives you more than a glimpse into his mind. It provides a much needed roadmap for a future of limited resources and growing demands.” - Dan Barber, Chef/Co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns Silo maps out an extraordinary new plan from radical young chef Douglas McMaster, founder of SILO the first zero food-waste restaurant—a food system for the future. He’s a man on a mission—dedicated to weaning us from our entrenched and over-processed food habits, encouraging us to go for the purest, most natural and efficient way to cook and eat, committed to de-industrializing our food system so that we eat fresh, waste less and make the most of what nature gives us. "Closed-loop systems,” "radical suppliers,” "off-grid ingredients,” "waste-free prep” and “clean farming” are just some of the words you will find in this polemic on the future of food as we know it. These are just some of the raw ingredients deftly chopped and mixed into an irresistible and intoxicating fusion. Part inspiration, part practical kitchen know-how, part philosophy—just add anarchic flavours and a dash of pure hope for a beautifully crafted book destined to be a refreshingly radical addition to your kitchen library.
Download or read book No More Silos written by MICHAEL. ANDREWS and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silos are a common problem, especially in larger organizations. They are more than a hassle - they hurt organizational performance. Organizations that offer content and information online face problems with silos as well. Their information is often poorly connected, resulting in confusion, inefficiency, and duplication of effort. Online publishers need a strategy for how they manage and deliver information to customers. They need to understand the valuable role that metadata standards play in how customers access information.No More Silos is the first book to focus on metadata strategy: a branch of content strategy that deals with structuring information so that the right information can reach the right audience at the right time. Recent developments in metadata standards are making it possible to connect information in new and exciting ways. The book introduces the many applications of metadata standards to support a diverse range of customer needs and business goals. These benefits include: - Increasing the reuse of online information, so that important information is always available where it is needed.- Improving the customer experience, offering customers more precise information, better choices, and greater integration between their devices and services. - Increasing the reach of the information, so that audiences can discover information wherever they are looking for it.- Delivering information to new channels such as voice interaction.- Better analytics, so that publishers understand the performance of their content.- Improving web operations so that team members can work toward common goals.The book explains not only why metadata standards are important, but how publishers can implement a metadata program so they have the capabilities necessary to realize these benefits. It will be of interest to anyone involved with creating, managing, and delivering online content.
Book Synopsis Breaking the Silos for Planetary Health by : Nicole de Paula
Download or read book Breaking the Silos for Planetary Health written by Nicole de Paula and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book translates the latest theoretical perspectives on the emerging field of Planetary Health Studies into the practical reality of global political decision makers. It builds on the scientific data on the impacts of environmental change on human health to propose practical methods for operationalizing planetary health. The book maps opportunities for decision makers to break institutional silos and engage with bottom-up approaches that can transform planetary health from a global idea into a local reality. The analysis frames human health in the Anthropocene, an era in which humans have become the most powerful force affecting global ecosystems, and reveals new existential risks for humankind.Departing from ongoing multilateral efforts to promote sustainability, the author’s analysis places the agenda of planetary health on the desk of political decision makers, still underrepresented at planetary health gatherings. Given the pressing need to implement sustainable development policies, the book presents planetary health as an overarching framework for global policy targets, notably the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the post-2020 biodiversity framework under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. The book is timely in offering a concrete road map for practitioners and researchers interested in transforming the concept of planetary health into reality. With a collection of success stories, the analysis dwells on tools for community engagement, opportunities for health professionals training, gender empowerment, digital health, and innovative ways to enhance human well-being on a changing planet.

Book Synopsis Systems Convening: a Crucial Form of Leadership for the 21st Century by : Beverly Wenger-Trayner
Download or read book Systems Convening: a Crucial Form of Leadership for the 21st Century written by Beverly Wenger-Trayner and published by Social Learning Lab. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shines a light on the important work that many people are doing around the world. You may not have heard about them; what they do is rarely in their job description. You may not even be aware of what they do; they tend to act as enablers rather than taking credit or seeking the spotlight. But they are here-working to make a difference in complex social landscapes. We call them systems conveners. Systems conveners enable learning across boundaries, connect people across silos, and convene them to work on what they see can be achieved if a broader range of views are brought to bear. In this, they have a vital role to play in helping us address the complex challenges of the 21st century. The book starts with portraits of systems conveners working in different contexts including doing community development in villages in Zambia, bringing together different groups in a U.S. town to do urban planning, tackling tribal conflict resolution in Nigeria, and undertaking systems transformation in the UK National Health Service. To provide a clear articulation of the role and practice of systems conveners, the book then describes seven aspects of the work they do, with quotes from practitioners to bring these descriptions to life. The book ends with a framework for understanding and guiding systems convening. For many people, being a systems convener is only something that exists in retrospect. This highly readable book does not require familiarity with systems theory or practice. It is for and about people who find themselves doing systems convening simply because it is essential to the difference they care to make. We hope that shining a light on this work will be useful for those who already do it, for those looking for a way in, and for those who are in a position to sponsor the work. If you are a systems convener, we hope you recognize yourself in these pages and see that you are not alone. We hope you gain some language to describe what you do and find some inspiration in the approaches, practices, and strategies of your peers.
