"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

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.

Thinking for a Change: Putting the Toc Thinking Processes to Use
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.

Parte 1. Una guida attraverso i principi e i processi fondamentali al cuore del management sincrono.

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

Parte 2. Linee guida passo passo per ciascuno dei cinque strumenti di applicazione del processo.

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

Parte 3. Due modi di combinare due o più strumenti di applicazione del processo di pensiero.
