Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Society at large tends to misunderstand what safety is all about. It is not just the absence of harm. When nothing bad happens over a period of time how do you know you are safe? In reality safety is what you and your people do moment by moment day by day to protect assets from harm and to control the hazards inherent in your operations. This is the purpose of risk-based thinking the key element of the six building blocks of Human and Organizational Performance (H&OP). Generally H&OP provides a risk-based approach to managing human performance in operations. But specifically risk-based thinking enables foresight and flexibility—even when surprised—to do what is necessary to protect assets from harm but also achieve mission success despite ongoing stresses or shocks to the operation. Although you cannot prepare for every adverse scenario you can be ready for almost anything. When risk-based thinking is integrated into the DNA of an organization’s way of doing business people will be ready for most unexpected situations. Eventually safety becomes a core value not a priority to be negotiated with others depending on circumstances. This book provides a coherent perspective on what executives and line managers within operational environments need to focus on to efficiently and effectively control learn and adapt. | Risk-Based Thinking Managing the Uncertainty of Human Error in Operations

Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Because digital and information technology (IT) has become a more significant part of strategic advantage and workplace operations information systems personnel have become key to the success of corporate enterprises particularly with the pursuit of becoming more digital. This book focuses on the vital role that technology must play in the course of organizational development and learning and on the growing need to integrate technology particularly digital technology fully into the culture of all organizations. Fundamentally this fourth edition takes an even stronger position than the previous editions that organizational learning is crucial to the success of what has been coined digital transformation. Companies are struggling to understand what it means to be digital. Their technology personnel go far beyond the traditional IT staff into areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NL). These three functions now fall under the auspices of data science which is now at the center of allowing companies to become more data dominant as is necessary for survival. While traditional IT personnel have long been criticized for their inability to function as part of the business they are now vital to assist in the leadership of digital transformation. It could be a costly error to underestimate the technical skills needed by IT staff to ensure successful digital transformation. In fact subsequent chapters will highlight the technical challenges needed to build new architectures based on 5G blockchain cloud computing and eventually quantum processing. The challenge then is to integrate business and technical IT staff via cultural assimilation and to strategically integrate advanced computing architectures. This fourth edition includes new topics such as the future of work that addresses the challenges of assimilating multiple generations of employees and how to establish working cultures that are more resilient and adaptive and can be configured as a platform driven by data assets. | Information Technology and Organizational Learning Managing Behavioral Change in the Digital Age

Managing Business Projects The Essentials

Managing Business Projects The Essentials

Managing Business Projects: The Essentials differs from many other project management textbooks. Foremost it is about business projects as opposed to construction or engineering projects. Although many techniques like schedule management apply to both they are usually applied differently. As its title conveys the book explains the essential techniques and perspectives needed for business projects to be successful. The focus is on small- and medium-sized projects up to $20 million but often below $1 million. Some literature favors large and mega-projects but for every mega-project there are many thousands of smaller projects that are vital to the organization and could involve considerable complexity and risk. Nevertheless the techniques outlined here also apply to mega-projects and their many subprojects; they even apply to some aspects of construction or engineering projects. This book does not aim to cover all project management techniques. In real life there is simply no time for sophisticated ‘should-dos. ' Rather it covers the essentials that apply to almost all business projects; these are unlikely to change in the future even as technology and methodologies advance. The driving idea which is stated repeatedly is to do the essentials and to do them consistently and well. Strong emphasis is placed on things that happen before around and after the project itself. So while the basic disciplines like engaging with stakeholders managing scope schedules costs risks issues changes and communication are thoroughly explained other important aspects are covered. These include: governance of a project and of a portfolio of projects project selection with its financial and non-financial aspects effective use of the business case through to benefits realization procurement outsourcing and partnership and also the agile mindset that is valuable beyond Agile projects. Besides project managers and sponsors this book is intended for people who are working in business or government at any level or for MBA students. It offers perspectives that enable them to learn more from their everyday experience. It is not aimed at undergraduate students although many would benefit from the contents. | Managing Business Projects The Essentials
