Lisa J. Scheinkopf – Thinking for a Change

Ogni lunedì un libro per iniziare la settimana.

Ho utilizzato di recente questo titolo nella sezione dedicata al Change Management del mio prossimo libro e credo che potrà interessare a chi di voi ricerca un approccio maggiormente strutturato alla gestione del cambiamento.

di Lisa J. Scheinkopf

Il libro fornisce degli schemi applicativi per i cosiddetti TOC Thinking Processes, ovvero strumenti integrati di problem solving basati su una rigorosa logica di causa-effetto.

  2. Primi passi;
  3. Causa sufficiente: Effetto-Causa-Effetto;
  4. Le categorie della riserva legittima;
  5. Pensiero orientato alla condizione necessaria.

  1. Albero di transizione;
  2. Albero della realtà futura;
  3. Albero della realtà attuale;
  4. Nuvole in evaporazione;
  5. Albero dei prerequisiti.
