Nearly all innovation is done by teams. And while there are many books about the innovation process, and also many about managing teams, the management of innovation teams has gone unaddressed. This matters, because innovation teams are not like other teams. Most teams and their managers know where they are headed. They've probably been there and done it previously, more than once. Innovation is different. The problem objective has been outlined, but the journey and the destination are full of unknowns and untrieds. The team is tasked with going where none have gone before-with scaling a mountain whose height, form, and hidden passes are unknown, and doing so before a rival team from the other side of the mountain finds the summit. There's no simple formula to enable innovation team managers to accomplish this daunting task. But Jonathan Cagan and Peter Boatwright-Carnegie Mellon professors and practitioners with a combined 50+ years of experience in research, consulting, and hands-on innovation-have learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. In Managing the Unmanageable, they offer 13 tips that can greatly improve the odds for success for any innovation team. Filled with eye-opening real-world examples, bolstered by groundbreaking research studies, and enlivened with illustrations by artist Kurt Hess, it's a quick, fascinating read that any manager with a mandate to innovate will find irresistible-and essential.

In the world of business administration, project administration plays a crucial role in ensuring the successful execution of projects. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out in your career, understanding the fundamentals of project administration is essential for effectively managing projects of any scale.Project administration can be defined as the process of planning, organizing, and controlling all aspects of a project to achieve specific goals and objectives within a defined timeframe and budget. It involves a wide range of activities, from initiating a project to monitoring its progress and ensuring its timely completion.One of the primary responsibilities of a project administrator is to develop a comprehensive project plan. This plan outlines the scope of the project, identifies key deliverables, and establishes a timeline for completion. It also defines the roles and responsibilities of team members, allocates resources, and sets quality standards that need to be met.Once the project plan is in place, project administrators are responsible for organizing and coordinating the efforts of the project team. They ensure that everyone is clear about their tasks and deadlines and facilitate effective communication among team members. Regular meetings, progress reports, and status updates are essential tools used by project administrators to keep everyone on track.Controlling the project is another critical aspect of project administration. This involves monitoring the project's progress, identifying potential risks and issues, and taking corrective actions when necessary. Project administrators must be adept at identifying and managing risks, ensuring that the project stays on schedule and within budget.Project administration also involves managing stakeholders. This includes identifying and engaging with key stakeholders, understanding their needs and expectations, and ensuring their involvement throughout the project. Effective stakeholder management is crucial for building strong relationships and gaining support for the project.

It took time, experience, and a lot of trial and error to learn to consistently deliver results.That's why I felt it was so important to put together this Book...to save you time and help you get results faster.

Gerade in Unternehmen und insbesondere im Projektmanagement stecken wir in einem Konflikt: Auf der einen Seite müssen wir auf Basis von Erkenntnissen aus Datenanalysen Geschäftsentscheidungen treffen. Für die Analysen selbst steigen wir in die Details unserer Datenseen 4.0 ab. Aber wenn wir auftauchen und es unserem Management als Entscheidungsvorlage präsentieren wollen, scheitern wir genau an diesen Details. Warum? Weil die Gehirne unserer Zuhörer:innen bei zu vielen trockenen Fakten abschalten. Data Storytelling löst dieses Problem. Denn unser Gehirn reagiert auf Geschichten besser als auf eine Auflistung von reinen Zahlen. Beim Data Storytelling werden die Daten zusammen mit einer grafisch leicht verständlichen Darstellung und einem spannenden Narrativ aufbereitet. Der sonst übliche Informationsüberfluss wird auf wesentliche und relevante Kernaussagen reduziert. So werden Inhalte verständlicher und bilden die Grundlage für Geschäftsentscheidungen. Gespickt mit wissenschaftlichen Fakten über unser Gehirn und ¿Veteranengeschichten¿ aus dem Projektmanagement werden in diesem Buch Wege aufgezeigt, dem ¿Death-by-PowerPoint¿ den Kampf anzusagen und die Welt von schlechten Präsentationen zu befreien.Der InhaltWas ist Data Storytelling?Projekt, Kommunikation und PräsentationenSchritte des Data Storytellings: Zuhörer:innen, Aha-Moment, Storyboard, SpannungsbogenVisualisierung: präattentive Merkmale, Gestaltprinzipien, Foliendesign, Daten- und Präsentationsvisualisierung

Why human skills and expertise, not technical tools, are what make projects succeed.The project is the basic unit of work in many industries. Software applications, antiviral vaccines, launch-ready spacecraft: all were produced by a team and managed as a project. Project management emphasizes control, processes, and tools—but, according to The Smart Mission, that is not the right way to run a project. Human skills and expertise, not technical tools, are what make projects successful. Projects run on knowledge. This paradigm-shifting book—by three project management experts, all of whom have decades of experience at NASA and elsewhere—challenges the conventional wisdom on project management, focusing on the human dimension: learning, collaboration, teaming, communication, and culture.The authors emphasize three themes: projects are fundamentally about how teams work and learn together to get things done; the local level—not an organization’s upper levels—is where the action happens; and projects don’t operate in a vacuum but exist within organizations that are responsible to stakeholders. Drawing on examples and case studies from NASA and other organizations, the authors identify three project models—micro, macro, and global—and their different knowledge needs. Successful organizations have a knowledge-based culture. Successful project management guides the interplay of knowledge, projects, and people.
