There’s a bewildering array of management tools out there. And they all promise to help you excel at the toughest parts of your job: defining your organization’s strategic direction, managing customers and costs, and boosting workforce performance. But just 30 percent of these tools deliver as intended. Why? As Jeremy Hope and Steve Player reveal in Beyond Performance Management, while many tools are sound in theory, they’re misused by most organizations. For example, executives buy and implement a tool without first asking, “What problem are we trying to solve?” And they use tools to command and control frontline teams, not empower them—a serious and costly mistake.

Con questo libro curato da Dario Collini, che raccoglie il lavoro di giovani ricercatori guidati da Anna Dolfi («GREM» «NGEM») che si sono occupati dei 17.000 pezzi epistolari del Fondo Macrì, si offre uno straordinario strumento di lavoro a chi si interessa di Ermetismo, di critica e poesia del Novecento italiano. Ombre dal fondo o ‘luci intermittenti’ che siano, i bagliori mandati dagli epistolari sono segni della genesi umana della cultura, visto che conservano traccia di quanto è legato al quotidiano che contribuisce alla costruzione della ‘grande’ storia e della progettualità; intellettuale e politica che l’accompagna. Ecco allora che letture, libri, riviste, collaborazioni, amicizie, risentimenti, viaggi, passioni letterarie e private emergono da questi regesti, a dare voce a un’epoca e ai suoi protagonisti.
Some businesses have reduced staff and made resource cuts to survive the global economic downturn, while others have improved business practices and culture. Unfortunately, there is still a difference between successful and less successful businesses in terms of culture adaptability, people management, and process management. In organisations like Toyota, which, in contrast to its rivals, has a mindset of process improvement, culture drives competitive advantage. Other businesses might benefit from Toyota's teachings by changing their routines for behaving and thinking in order to increase staff performance.
Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) introduces a new organizational governance system that integrates analytics with innovation. The IEE system shows business leaders what to measure and report; when and how to report it; how to interpret and use the results to establish goals; how to orchestrate work activities; and how to develop strategies that are consistent with established goals. These strategies ultimately lead to specific projects that enhance organizational focus and success. This volume discusses problems encountered with traditional scorecard, business management, and enterprise improvement systems; describes how IEE helps organizations overcome these issues by utilizing an enterprise process define-measure-analyze-improve-control (E-DMAIC) system; and details the execution of this system.
