Agile Transformation
Becoming a customer-focused, versatile, and resilient organization is the goal of many of the agile transformations we are seeing in Germany and Austria, regardless of company size or industry. The journey for organizations is not easy - sometimes it is even bumpier than it needs to be. One thing is certain: there is no single right way - no "happy path" - to achieve an agile transformation, because the individual requirements of countless organizations cannot be met by a one-size-fits-all approach to change. However, there are tools that make the journey easier and sustainable success more likely. Even when transformations go through a crisis - which is more common than you might think - there are reasons to remain optimistic. The authors of this book work at the heart of transformation activities. They design strategies for agile transformations, bring derailed transformations back on track, and guide people in the organization until they are able to design the next stages of change themselves. All of the approaches presented in this book are backed by experience and proven to work.
Start in die agile agile Transformation!
In den letzten Jahren hat das Thema "Agile Transformation" einen wahrlichen Hype erlebt. Agile Arbeitsweisen und die damit verbundenen Werte und Prinzipien sind aus modernen Organisationen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie sind gekommen, um zu bleiben: Das merken wir vor allem an der Verbreitung dieser Arbeitsweisen in Bereichen weit über die (Software-) Produktentwicklung hinaus, wie beispielsweise in die Entwicklung physischer Produkte, den Vertrieb und die interne Revision. Dazu passt, dass eine Reihe von Büchern zu Change-Vorhaben dieser Art geschrieben wurde. Doch auch wenn Transformationen in ihrer Gesamtheit betrachtet sehr individuell verlaufen, so haben wir doch festgestellt, dass gerad...
Global Area Disturbed and Pressures on Biodiversity by Large-Scale Metal Mining
The rising global demand for metals in a context of declining ore grades is driving the opening of new mines and the expansion of existing ones, disturbing substantial land areas (especially by open pits). However, how much land is currently disturbed globally? How much land could be disturbed by metal mining in 2050? This study investigates the global area disturbed by mining of iron, bauxite, copper, gold, and silver for the first time. The first part consists of the calculation of the specific land requirements, i.e. the area newly disturbed caused by the ore extraction at the mine site. The second part addresses the global area disturbed in the year 2011 whereas the third presents scenarios of how such area might evolve until 2050. The last part addresses the current and future pressures on global biodiversity by metal mines and shows possibilities for the future opening of new mines in low biodiversity areas, alleviating pressures in high biodiversity ones. This study presents the findings of the author´s dissertation hoping they are used as a frame to develop policies and incentives to reduce the amount of area directly disturbed by mines and their pressures on biodiversity.
Connectivity Conservation
One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.
Justiz zwischen Diktatur und Demokratie
Das Bild ubiquitären Versagens und moralischer Stumpfheit der deutschen Justiz ist fest etabliert. Edith Raim stellt es nicht ganz auf den Kopf, sie relativiert die gängige Deutung aber in vielerlei Hinsicht. Ausgangspunkt ist die facettenreiche Sozialgeschichte der westdeutschen Justiz nach 1945, wobei auch die leidenschaftlichen deutsch-alliierten Diskussionen über die nationalsozialistischen "Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit" untersucht werden. Den Kern der Darstellung aber bildet die Analyse zahlreicher deutscher Gerichtsverfahren, die brisanten Themen wie der "Reichskristallnacht", der "Arisierung", der "Euthanasie" sowie Denunziationen oder KZ-Verbrechen gewidmet waren. Auch die deutsche Justiz blieb, als es das Dritte Reich nicht mehr und die Bundesrepublik noch nicht gab, keineswegs untätig. Nie wieder wurde so intensiv ermittelt wie damals. Dass die Gerichte dabei Beachtliches leisteten, ist im vergangenheitspolitischen Diskurs kaum präsent. Edith Raim hebt es auf beeindruckende Weise in unser Bewusstsein.
Europe's 1968
By the late 1960s, in a Europe divided by the Cold War and challenged by global revolution in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, thousands of young people threw themselves into activism to change both the world and themselves. This new and exciting study of "Europe's 1968" is based on the rich oral histories of nearly 500 former activists collected by an international team of historians across fourteen countries. Activists' own voices reflect on how they were drawn into activism, how they worked and struggled together, how they combined the political and the personal in their lives, and the pride or regret with which they look back on those momentous years. Themes explored include generational...
Kleinformate Im Umbruch
Die Buchreihe stellt die Funktion kleiner Textsorten in publizistischen, wissenschaftlichen und administrativen Kontexten in den Mittelpunkt. Sie reagiert damit auf die Aktualität und Schlagkraft kurzer Formen vor dem Hintergrund medialer Mobilitätsschübe, knapper Aufmerksamkeitsressourcen und neuer Kommunikationsökonomien. Die Einzeluntersuchungen sind zudem von der Frage geleitet, welche Wirksamkeit eine Vielfalt von unscheinbaren Genres wie Skizze, Abstract, Notiz, Aphorismus, Protokoll, Exzerpt, Essay, Artikel, Glosse etc. in der Organisation und Vermittlung von Wissen auf diversen Praxisfeldern entfaltet haben - von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart.
