Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artistic intervention, where the world of the arts is brought into organizations, has increasingly become a research field in itself with strong links to both creativity and innovation. Opportunities for the arts to interact with public and private organizations occur worldwide, but during the last decade artistic interventions have received growing attention in both practice and research. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to map the development of the field and provides an international overview of the area of artistic interventions and their impact on organizations from different perspectives, ranging from strategic management to organizational development, innovation and organizational learning. Featuring chapters from prominent and emerging scholars, including Nancy J. Adler, Barbara Czarniawska, Lotte Darsø and Alexander Styhre, it places artistic interventions within an international context. The book also offers readers the opportunity to learn from experiences in a varied range of organisations, including newspapers, manufacturing, government, schools, and covers many art-forms, such as music, contemporary dance, painting, photography, and theatre. Using extensive empirical examples, this book is vital reading for researchers and scholars of creativity and cultural industries, as well as innovation, creative entrepreneurship, organizational studies and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To effectively adapt and thrive in today’s business world, organizations need to implement effective organizational development (OD) interventions to improve performance and effectiveness at the individual, group, and organizational levels. OD interventions involve people, trust, support, shared power, conflict resolution, and stakeholders’ participation, just to name a few. OD interventions usually have broader scope and can affect the whole organization. OD practitioners or change agents must have a solid understanding of different OD interventions to select the most appropriate one to fulfill the client’s needs. There is limited precise information or research about how to design OD interventions or how they can be expected to interact with organizational conditions to achieve specific results. This book offers OD practitioners and change agents a step-by-step approach to implementing OD interventions and includes example cases, practical tools, and guidelines for different OD interventions. It is noteworthy that roughly 65% of organizational change projects fail. One reason for the failure is that the changes are not effectively implemented, and this book focuses on how to successfully implement organizational changes. Designed for use by OD practitioners, management, and human resources professionals, this book provides readers with OD basic principles, practices, and skills by featuring illustrative case studies and useful tools. This book shows how OD professionals can actually get work done and what the step-by-step OD effort should be. This book looks at how to choose and implement a range of interventions at different levels. Unlike other books currently available on the market, this book goes beyond individual, group, and organizational levels of OD interventions, and addresses broader OD intervention efforts at industry and community levels, too. Essentially, this book provides a practical guide for OD interventions. Each chapter provides practical information about general OD interventions, supplies best practice examples and case studies, summarizes the results of best practices, provides at least one case scenario, and offers at least one relevant tool for practitioners.

This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation, in economic activity, in managerial concepts and in engineering design, results from creative activities, entrepreneurial strategies and the business climate. Innovation leads to technological, organizational and commercial changes, due to the relationships between enterprises, public institutions and civil society organizations. These innovation networks create new knowledge and contribute to the dissemination of new socio-economic and technological models, through new production and marketing methods. Innovation Economics, Engineering and Management Handbook 1 is the first of the two volumes that comprise this book. The main objectives across both volumes are to study the innovation processes in todays information and knowledge society; to analyze how links between research and business have intensified; and to discuss the methods by which innovation emerges and is managed by firms, not only from a local perspective but also a global one. The studies presented in these two volumes contribute toward an understanding of the systemic nature of innovations and enable reflection on their potential applications, in order to think about the meaning of growth and prosperity.

Book excerpt: New Public Management as an administrative reform ideology as well as conceptual innovation has changed the outlook of public administration during the last ten years. Public administration and public administration reform should not only be concerned with the improvement of the efficiency and coherence which play an important role in public administration, but also political values like liberty, equity and security as well as legal values like the rule of the law. The modernization agenda of public administration has a rather internal focus, while the ultimate test for the modernization of public administration is the way in which governments are able to respond to changing social, cultural and economic conditions and the wicked policy problems which result from them. This publication contains interesting contributions to the science and practice of public administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation and Scaling for Impact forces us to reassess how social sector organizations create value. Drawing on a decade of research, Christian Seelos and Johanna Mair transcend widely held misconceptions, getting to the core of what a sound impact strategy entails in the nonprofit world. They reveal an overlooked nexus between investments that might not pan out (innovation) and expansion based on existing strengths (scaling). In the process, it becomes clear that managing this tension is a difficult balancing act that fundamentally defines an organization and its impact. The authors examine innovation pathologies that can derail organizations by thwarting their efforts to juggle these imperatives. Then, through four rich case studies, they detail innovation archetypes that effectively sidestep these pathologies and blend innovation with scaling. Readers will come away with conceptual models to drive progress in the social sector and tools for defining the future of their organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unifying and Defining the new OD Innovation-Inspired Positive Organization Development gives shape and coherence to the field's vast potentials and most promising horizons. To underscore the new theory of change transforming the whole of OD, Cooperrider and Godwin provide definition and direction to what they call "the next ipod"—innovation-inspired positive OD. Drawing from decades of real-world experience and experimentation, as well as cataloguing and synthesizing the exciting research and many of the most productive practices from strength-based management, positive psychology and allied disciplines, this book does what French and Bell's enduring classic did for the earliest days of OD. It defines the new OD, describing where it came from and where it is going. It provides a unified resource for bridging theory and practice for managers and change agents of all kinds, by providing a panoramic presentation of methods for working at the individual, organizational, and societal levels--the "three circles of the strengths revolution." Beyond presenting a new model of change, Innovation-Inspired Positive Organization Development also anchors the vision to a comprehensive set of positive change methods such as Appreciative Inquiry's action research 4-D cycle, the positive-strengths strategy innovation lab, solution-focused team development, positive deviancy analysis, design studio and prototyping tools, biomimicry, the art of the question, whole system multi-stakeholder AI Summit methods, the accelerating strengths network tools, outsourced inspiration practices, the new AI digital planning and design platform, and more. The result is shape shifting for the field. What was once a fragmented and unassembled jigsaw puzzle is pulled into a conceptually inspiring and pragmatically powerful combined framework. The book shows how the pieces of the strengths revolution puzzle fit together to catalyze a radically new model of change management.

Book excerpt: This practical book contains 10 interventions any facilitator can use to help a team to change their paradigms. These interventions can be used in both online and physical meetings.

However, if you begin your session with an intervention around paradigms, the team will become more creative and more open to change. In this book, we give you 10 tried and tested 'recipes' for helping a team to change their paradigms. Like any good recipe we provide all the information you may need to successfully facilitate each intervention. This includes: The goal of the intervention. Who the intervention is for.

In this book, Ruth Tearle shares the practical interventions she has used successfully as a sought after organizational development and leadership consultant. These interventions are powerful because they help teams to become more innovative, and more open to change. If you are an Organizational Development facilitator, a strategist, or a Human Resources business partner, then this is a book, to keep in your professional toolkit.
