Book description
Typically today's tasks in management and consulting include project
management, running workshops and strategic work - all complex
activities, which require a multitude of skills and competencies. This
standard work, which is also well accepted amongst consultants, gives
you a reference or cookbook-style access to the most important tools,
including a rating of each tool in terms of applicability, ease of use
and effectiveness.
In his book, Nicolai Andler presents about 120 of such tools, grouped
into task-specific categories entitled Define Situation, Gather
Information, Information Consolidation, Creativity, Goal Setting,
Organisational Analysis, Technical Analysis, Strategic Analysis,
Decision Making, and Project Management. Checklists and application
scenarios further enhance the use of this toolbox.
Information provided by this book is:
- comprehensive and sufficiently wide in scope, combined with a
practical level of detail without being too academic
- reliable and proven in numerous real implemented cases
- easy to apply due to many different search options, checklists,
application scenarios and guiding instructions.
Written by a professional consultant, business analyst and business
coach, this book is a unique reference work and guide for those wanting
to learn about or who are active in the fields of consulting, project
management and problem solving in general.
"This book is of the kind you always wanted but didn't think would
or could ever exist: the universal field theory of problem
solving." Tom Sommerlatte.
