Описание: Steeds meer mensen ondervinden dat projectmanagement in een transitie terecht is gekomen. Van oudsher bekende en op zichzelf goede methoden en technieken zijn tegen hun grenzen aangelopen. Nieuwe inzichten en aanpakken winnen terrein. Geen wonder dat ook de inhoud en het nut van bestaande instituties op het gebied van projectmanagement, zoals vak- en certificeringsorganisaties meer en meer ter discussie worden gesteld. Ervaren projectmanagers beschouwen de uitgedijde methoden en technieken en de strakke certificeringen steeds meer als een keurslijf in plaats van als nuttige hulpmiddelen.Niet alleen projectmanagers hebben er last van. Ook lijnmanagers van grote organisaties kampen met het probleem. Velen zien om zich heen dat projecten niet naar wens verlopen, terwijl medewerkers toch volgens de voorgeschreven opgelegde procedures lijken te handelen. Het is alsof managers en medewerkers hun gezonde verstand thuislaten en procedures laten regeren over hun professionele handelen zonder oog te hebben voor de gevolgen ervan. Daarnaast zien we dat in de praktijk nieuwe aanpakken gretig worden omarmd als de heilige graal, zonder rekening te houden met de enorme omslag die dat betekent, niet alleen voor de directbetrokkenen maar zelfs voor de hele organisatie. Het risico is niet denkbeeldig dat de introductie van de nieuwe aanpak het werken in projecten verder bemoeilijkt en dat we zo het kind met het badwater weggooien.Transitie van projectmanagement betekent ook transitie voor de projectmanager. Daarom vonden we het hoog tijd een boek te schrijven voor deze projectmanager in transitie dat een nieuwe richting voor het vak aangeeft. In dit boek verkennen of beschrijven we een aantal belangrijke aspecten van die transitie. Zes auteurs hebben ieder een of meer hoofdstukken voor hun rekening genomen.Het eerste hoofdstuk analyseert de oorsprong van de begrippen `project` en `projectmanagement` en maakt duidelijk dat de huidige visies op het vak een doodlopende weg in dreigen te slaan. Het vervolghoofdstuk brengt een aantal stromingen in de projectmanagementwereld tot anno 2017 in beeld en slaat een brug tussen de projecten en organisaties.Hoofdstuk 3 stelt dat projectmanagementmethoden en projectmanagers ten onrechte zo veel mogelijk emoties en irrationaliteit negeren. We kunnen maar beter onder ogen zien dat ze een onlosmakelijk aspect zijn van ieder project en leren daarmee om te gaan.Een apart hoofdstuk wordt gewijd aan wicked vraagstukken, een type opgave dat kenmerken van volstrekte onvoorspelbaarheid vertoont en toch aan de orde van dag is. De bestaande projectmanagementmethoden bieden hierbij weinig houvast. Maar welke aanpak werkt dan wel?In het hoofdstuk over competenties en competentieontwikkeling staat de competentie-ontwikkeling van de projectmanager, zijn waarden en drijfveren centraal. Wat zijn competenties, competentie-frameworks en welke zijn belangrijk voor mij als projectmanager? Hoe kan de projectmanager de steeds belangrijker wordende gedragscompetenties ontwikkelen? In hoeverre kan de veel gebruikte ICB 4 van IPMA daarbij helpen?In het laatste hoofdstuk wordt een aantal scenario`s beschreven voor de mogelijke ontwikkeling van de professie, gebaseerd op een aantal trends. De trends zijn door de auteurs van dit boek geselecteerd mede op basis van soms verrassende gezichtspunten van ervaren collega`s uit het veld.Door het boek heen staan inspirerende verhalen die zijn opgetekend uit de mond van projectmanagers die op zeer verschillende terreinen succesvolle projecten hebben uitgevoerd. Zowel een feest van herkenning als een bron van nieuwe inzichten.
Описание: Did the Nobel Prize In Physics in 2013 Make Einstein Turn In His Grave?The Higgs Fake - How Particle Physicists Fooled the Nobel Committee is a merciless critique of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and of the theoretical model on which the world's most expensive experiment is based. Unzicker, a German physicist and award-winning science writer, argues that the reaction of the Swedish Academy to last year's discovery appears to be a result of being beguiled by CERN's attempts to justify the billions of dollars of public money being spent.The book starts off by claiming that the greatest physicists such as Einstein, Dirac of Schr dinger would have considered the "discovery" of the Higgs particle ridiculous. The reasons, according to the author, are that: "1) the so-called standard model has grown unbelievably complicated, 2) none of the great riddles of physics that have persisted for a century have been solved, 3) history suggests that the current model is a dead end, 4) with their ever-more intricate experimental techniques, particle physicists are fooling themselves with alleged results, 5) scientific convictions in the community are established by blind faith in expert opinions, group-think and parroting, and 6) the data analysis in its complexity cannot be overseen by anybody."Unzicker gives a historical survey of the field, and concludes that particle physics, as practiced since 1930, is "a futile enterprise in its entirety." The book is peppered with a series of funny quotes from famous philosophers and scientists. In the last section, "Antidotes," he specifically attacks "the overstated claims by famous physicists such as Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Michio Kaku, Lisa Randall, Sean Carroll, Brian Cox and Jim Al-Khalili." At the end, Unzicker lists questions that he would like to be asked to particle physicists at press conferences, hearings and discussions.Unzicker's books have been praised as "well-grounded, sound, and] informed," and as "vehement pleading for physics as a natural science, in its best tradition," but also dismissed by particle physicists as an "incoherent rant" and "time-wasting nonsense." The new book, written in an even more explicit and provocative tone, is likely to upset the high energy physics community.Praise for previous books of the author: The assertion that "science means, after all, not being a sucker" is well worth taking to heart. - Publishersweekly A broad dismissal of modern theoretical physicists...Unzicker also targets the massive expenditures of funds on high-energy particle accelerators. - Kirkus ReviewsUnzicker dares to think outside the mainstream. A refreshing and provoking book... - Prof. Hans Volker Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, University of Heidelberg Timely needed revision of contemporary physics idiocies. - Prof. Antonio Ruiz de Elvira, University of Alcal de Henares A passionate and profound search for scientific truth. Unzicker's questions to particle physicists at CERN are justified. PD Peter Thirolf, nuclear physicist at Munich University.A major contribution to physics... Unzicker is pointing out that the emperor is naked... The establishment scientists will curse and moan. - Edwin E Klingman, author, former NASA Research Physicist

Описание:
Ten of the Bible's best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of this popular and unforgettable study with situations that sound oh-so-familiar.
Women everywhere marvel at those "good girls" in Scripture-Sarah, Mary, Esther-but on most days, that's not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they're honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch of glimpse of Jezebel's take-charge pride or Eve's disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today's modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires. So what's a good girl to do? Learn from their lives, says beloved Bible study teacher and speaker Liz Curtis Higgs, and choose a better path. Whether they were "Bad to the Bone," "Bad for a Season, but Not Forever" or only "Bad for a Moment," these infamous sisters show women how not to handle the challenges of life. With her trademark humor and encouragement, Higgs combines a contemporary retelling of the stories of these "other women" in Scripture with a solid, verse-by-verse study to teach us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace. Let these Bad Girls show you why studying the Bible has never been more fun Includes Discussion Questions and Study Guide
