Civil Servant 2.0
"In this book Dutch civil servant Davied van Berlo explains the significance of web 2.0 for government in terms of its internal organisation, its relationship with the public, and the working methods of the civil servant. The second part, Civil Servant 2.0 beta, provides a practical interpretation of the concepts expressed in the first part, and contains action points and ideas for government organisations to develop their own strategies for government 2.0." - back cover.
Swarm Planning
This book shows that the problem of climate adaptation, which is described in social planning terms as ‘wicked,’ is at odds with the contemporary practice of spatial planning. The author proposes a new adjusted framework which is more adaptable to unpredictable, wicked, dynamic and non-linear processes. The inspiration for this new method is the behaviour of swarms: bees, ants, birds and fish are capable of self-organization, which enables the system to become less vulnerable to sudden environmental changes. The framework proposed in Swarm Planning consists of these four elements: Two levels of complexity, the first being the whole system and the second its individual components. Each of...
Swarming Landscapes
This book advocates a fresh approach to planning that anticipates, rather than reacts to, the changes in climate currently in process. Today’s spatial planning procedures rely on historical evidence instead of preparing for factors that by definition lie in the future, yet which are relatively uncontroversial: shortages of water, sea level rise and rises in average temperatures being but three examples. Arguing for more flexibility, the contributors view ‘complexity’ as the key to transforming the way we plan in order to better equip us to face uncertainties about our future environment.
Adaptation to Climate Change: A Spatial Challenge
As it becomes clear that climate change is not easily within the boundaries of the 1990’s, society needs to be prepared and needs to anticipate future changes due to the uncertain changes in climate. So far, extensive research has been carried out on several issues including the coastal defence or shifting ecozones. However, the role spatial design and planning can play in adapting to climate change has not yet been focused on. This book illuminates the way adaptation to climate change is tackled in water management, ecology, coastal defence, the urban environment and energy. The question posed is how each sector can anticipate climate change by creating spatial designs and plans. The main message of this book is that spatial design and planning are a very useful tool in adapting to climate change. It offers an integral view on the issue, it is capable in dealing with uncertainties and it opens the way to creative and anticipative solutions. Dealing with adaptation to climate change requires a shift in mindset; from a technical rational way of thinking towards an integral proactive one. A new era in spatial design and planning looms on the horizon.
New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies
This Open Access book examines the ambivalences of data power. Firstly, the ambivalences between global infrastructures and local invisibilities challenge the grand narrative of the ephemeral nature of a global data infrastructure. They make visible local working and living conditions, and the resources and arrangements required to operate and run them. Secondly, the book examines ambivalences between the state and data justice. It considers data justice in relation to state surveillance and data capitalism, and reflects on the ambivalences between an "entrepreneurial state" and a "welfare state." Thirdly, the authors discuss ambivalences of everyday practices and collective action, in which...
Nooit af
Nooit Af is een boek zoals je ze niet vaak tegenkomt: het schetst een caleidoscopisch beeld van alle ontwikkelingen in onze maatschappij – zowel op persoonlijk vlak als voor bestuurders van organisaties en van ons land – én het biedt een manier van kijken en handelen die je niet anders dan positief kan stemmen! Aslander en Witteveen hebben een heuse beweging ontketend. Het besef dat onze bestaande systemen vastlopen dringt in alle gelederen van de samenleving door en leidt tot nieuwe, los georganiseerde initiatieven en hoopvolle geluiden. In een wereld die Nooit Af is, nemen mensen die gewoon beginnen het voortouw.
Projectmanager in transitie
Steeds meer mensen ondervinden dat projectmanagement in een transitie terecht is gekomen. Van oudsher bekende en op zichzelf goede methoden en technieken zijn tegen hun grenzen aangelopen. Nieuwe inzichten en aanpakken winnen terrein. Geen wonder dat ook de inhoud en het nut van bestaande instituties op het gebied van projectmanagement, zoals vak- en certificeringsorganisaties meer en meer ter discussie worden gesteld. Ervaren projectmanagers beschouwen de uitgedijde methoden en technieken en de strakke certificeringen steeds meer als een keurslijf in plaats van als nuttige hulpmiddelen. Niet alleen projectmanagers hebben er last van. Ook lijnmanagers van grote organisaties kampen met het pr...

Das Buch richtet sich daher an Menschen in der Buchhaltung, Wirtschaftsprüfung und Steuerberatung, die wissen, dass die Finanzwelt sich verändert. In diesem praxisorientierten Buch gibt Femke Hogema den Menschen aus der Finanzbranche die Werkzeuge, die Denkweise und eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung an die Hand, mit denen sie beginnen können, zielorientiertere Beratungsdienste zu verkaufen.
