The Human Constraint: How Business Leaders Can Embed Continuous Innovation, Conflict Resolution, and Problem Solving Into Daily Practice
Autor Angela Montgomeryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2024
The story in Part One unfolds during the financial crisis that follows 2008 and illustrates how this affects a group of executives engaged in a transformation process. It charts their attempts through the crisis to transform part of an industry dominated by a zero-sum game mentality using a very different approach: an ethical and value-based supply chain where all stakeholders benefit.
Through the narrative in Part One, readers are exposed to a way to embed continuous innovation, conflict resolution, and problem-solving in action. In Part Two readers will find an introduction to a systemic method for management and the Thinking Processes from the Theory of Constraints.
These Thinking Processes can help readers develop the skills to:
■ Understand and analyze our current reality, as individuals and organizations.
■ Surface assumptions that keep us trapped in less-than-desirable situations.
■ Generate robust solutions/innovations.
■ Identify unintended consequences of what may seem like an effective idea and avert them upstream.
■ Resolve conflicts in a win-win way.
The knowledge, method, and tools to overcome obsolete mental models and practices exist. This book aims to present the reader, through narrative and supplementary material, with elements of a new way and a new economics that are fit for purpose in our age of complexity.
