Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the total cost related to deploying OpSource, including any consulting or professional services? Do we all define OpSource in the same way? Is a fully trained team formed, supported, and committed to work on the OpSource improvements? Are there recognized OpSource problems? Do we cover the five essential competencies-Communication, Collaboration, Innovation, Adaptability, and Leadership that improve an organization's ability to leverage the new OpSource in a volatile global economy? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a challenge or meet an objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY group, company, organization and department. Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?' This Self-Assessment empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make OpSource investments work better. This OpSource All-Inclusive Self-Assessment enables You to be that person. All the tools you need to an in-depth OpSource Self-Assessment. Featuring 700 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which OpSource improvements can be made.
