Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. We live in times of unprecedented turbulence and uncertainty and we are losing faith in our ability to organise ourselves to deal with it. The traditional top down functional hierarchy doesnt feel as secure as it once did, and new generations of workers demand something more than the kind of life and career it is capable of offering.But when we look for an alternative we are faced with a miasma of competing claims for different organising principles. Do we need to be purpose led or profit driven? Fixed or flexible? More centralised or decentralised? Hierarchical or networked? Agile or structured?This situation is perilous. It is also unnatural - in a very fundamental sense - because it demonstrates that we have failed to learn natures tricks about how to survive and grow, in any kind of environment, no matter how turbulent and unpredictable.The remedy prescribed in this book is not a choice between this or that, it is about balance. Or more specifically maintaining a set of balances that continuously shift to tame the complexity faced, and created by organisations. Balance begets calm and poise. Calm and poise begets clarity of thought, decisiveness and agility.This book paints a picture of the balances organisations need to strike to survive and thrive. It describes how they work. It helps readers to describe and make sense of the mess and muddle of organisational life. And it helps to design healthy workplaces and diagnose and cure diseased ones.It can do this because the book is not a manifesto of hope and wishful thinking. It brings together decades of esoteric knowledge about systems and how they work in a form that is both accessible and practical. To a curious reader it is the key to a world of ideas that have largely remained hidden. For a management practitioner it provides a new perspective on familiar problems and a platform for action. And it helps a leader to see what is and what could be. We live in times of unprecedented turbulence and uncertainty and we are losing faith in our ability to organise ourselves to deal with it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This is a guidebook about short term Operational Forecasting - the sort that is done to determine how much product you need to source or how many people you need to draft in to meet customer demand. It is organized under 5 headings:1.The purpose of operational forecasting2.Understanding demand3.Forecasting methods4.Understanding forecast performance5.Managing forecast performance.The first two sections and part of section three are essential reading for anyone involved in or responsible for operational forecasting. The rest of the book is most helpful for practitioners.The aim is to produce something that provides a useful introduction to operational forecasting for both practitioners and their bosses by filling in the gap that lies between a naïve common sense understanding of short term forecasting and the complex technicalities of mathematical forecasting techniques. The authors background as a self-taught business orientated forecasting nerd with limited mathematical expertise qualifies who tell it the way it is makes him well qualified to fill this gap. The book has been designed to be simple but not simplistic, using short and to the point learning points supported by clear graphics. It is technically sound but also highly practical. The hope is that it will help create a common language to help people talk intelligently about forecasting and help stop people doing dumb stuff - which is where most of the potential for improvement lies. It will also help people design good forecast processes and informed software purchasing decisions. In doing so it will help people realize that forecasting is important and that investing in people as well as software will generate enormous benefits for many businesses.
