商品描述

Complexity is a gift that can be made available for the successful implementation of projects, and used to create a new order or to change an existing one. Based on scientific facts, the authors present a systematic approach, which integrates complexity and its multitude of facets and gives practical recommendations for dealing with complexity in projects. The methods paradigm in project management is currently undergoing a massive upheaval. Projects are complex entities that cannot be tackled using traditional methods, such as classical cause and effect approaches. Complexity, and the associated phenomenon of self-organization, is a natural, but hidden designer. It offers a great opportunity in its use as a key driver for the implementation of projects. This requires identification of the principles of complexity and then using these for project management. In this book, the latest findings from natural sciences and brain research are used and transferred within a practice-oriented framework. The authors describe the methods of complexity regulation in projects and how self-organization for the management of projects can be applied.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

複雜性是一種可以用於成功實施專案的禮物,並可用來創造新秩序或改變現有秩序。根據科學事實,作者提出了一種系統性的方法,整合了複雜性及其多種面向,並提供了處理專案中複雜性的實用建議。專案管理中的方法範式目前正經歷巨大的變革。專案是複雜的實體,無法使用傳統方法(如經典的因果關係方法)來處理。複雜性及其相關的自我組織現象是一種自然但隱藏的設計者。它在專案實施中作為關鍵驅動力的使用提供了巨大的機會。這需要識別複雜性的原則,然後將其應用於專案管理。在本書中,最新的自然科學和腦研究的發現被用於並轉化為以實踐為導向的框架。作者描述了專案中複雜性調控的方法,以及如何應用自我組織來管理專案。

作者簡介

Dr. Alfred Oswald (IFST - Institute for Social Technologies GmbH, 52223 Stolberg, Germany) earned his doctorate in Theoretical Physics at the RWTH Aachen University. He is Managing Director of the IFST-Institute for Social Technologies GmbH consulting institute, responsible for project management, transformation and innovation management. He is head of the special interest group for Agile Management of the GPM (German Association for Project Management e.V.). His field of work is the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations through innovative social technologies. He has many years of experience in the management of innovative and complex projects, as well as in the transformation of project-oriented organizations into high-performance organizations.

Dr. Jens Köhler (BASF SE, 67056 Ludwigshafen, Germany) received his Diploma in Physics from Bonn University and already began tackling the subject of complexity in his doctorate. He focuses on the digitalization in research and development. His specialty is the regulation of social complexity to lever the efficiency and effectiveness of project teams, being inevitable for successfully forming the digital transformation.


Roland Schmitt (69469 Weinheim, Germany) first gained experience in managing business and software development processes after his studies in Electrical Engineering. For more than ten years he has managed IT projects in the logistic and transport sector at DB Systel GmbH in Frankfurt am Main. His postgraduate management studies at the University of Portsmouth in the UK focused his attention on the psycho-social aspects of cooperation between people. Since then, his research interest has been the transfer of theoretical findings of self-organization and neuro-leadership into professional management practice.

阿爾弗雷德·奧斯瓦爾德博士(IFST - 社會技術研究所,德國斯多爾貝格,郵政編碼52223)在亞琛工業大學獲得理論物理學博士學位。他是IFST - 社會技術研究所的執行董事,負責專案管理、轉型和創新管理。他是德國專案管理協會(GPM)敏捷管理特別興趣小組的負責人。他的工作領域是通過創新的社會技術提高組織的效率和效能。他在管理創新和複雜專案方面擁有多年經驗,並在將專案導向的組織轉型為高效能組織方面也有豐富的經歷。



延斯·科勒博士(BASF SE,德國路德維希港,郵政編碼67056)在波恩大學獲得物理學文憑,並在博士研究中開始探討複雜性主題。他專注於研究與開發中的數位化。他的專長是調節社會複雜性,以提高專案團隊的效率和效能,這對於成功實現數位轉型至關重要。



羅蘭·施密特(德國維恩海姆,郵政編碼69469)在電機工程學習後,首次獲得管理商業和軟體開發流程的經驗。在法蘭克福的DB Systel GmbH,他管理了超過十年的物流和運輸領域的IT專案。他在英國朴茨茅斯大學的研究生管理學習使他關注人員之間合作的心理社會方面。自那時起,他的研究興趣便是將自我組織和神經領導的理論發現轉化為專業管理實踐。
