Gestion du changement. NjgzMjY2OQS2&r=MzkxODQ4ODQzMzMS1&j=ODU2MTE0NTkS1. If you’ve been charged with developing the case for a new project at your company, imagine you’re telling a story.

NjgzMjY2OQS2&r=MzkxODQ4ODQzMzMS1&j=ODU2MTE0NTkS1

The narrative starts, as all good ones do, with a problem. This is the business need you’re trying to solve. Then, identify the characters: the stakeholders who have the authority to approve or reject your business case; the beneficiaries who stand to gain from your proposal; and the subject-matter experts who will clarify how to solve the problem. Next you’ll consider alternatives for meeting the business need—different ways your story might play out. After making the best choice, you’ll create a very high-level project plan.

Adapted from the HBR Guide to Building Your Business Case. Comment obtenir d'autres pour voir votre potentiel - Dorie Clark. By Dorie Clark | 11:00 AM May 16, 2013 Overcoming people's past perceptions of you isn't easy. When I launched my consulting business seven years ago, I was astonished to find — years later — that acquaintances and even friends hadn't kept up with my career transition. They'd ask about my past work in politics or nonprofit advocacy, oblivious to the changes that had been consuming my life. It wasn't their fault, however. These days, we all have thousands of Facebook friends or LinkedIn connections; it's just not realistic to keep up with everyone's latest developments.

Une perspective dynamique sur l'affect ET CRÉATIVITÉ. + Author Affiliations Correspondence: Ronald Bledow, Email: ronald.bledow@ugent.be The authors argue that creativity is influenced by the dynamic interplay of positive and negative affect: High creativity results if a person experiences an episode of negative affect that is followed by a decrease in negative affect and an increase in positive affect, a process referred to as an affective shift.

La collection Compagnie de la dette qui vous aide à obtenir un emploi - Sarah Green - Nos rédacteurs. Bill Bartmann, CEO of debt collection company CFS2, does things a little differently.

La collection Compagnie de la dette qui vous aide à obtenir un emploi - Sarah Green - Nos rédacteurs

Instead of just calling, hounding, and suing debtors to pay what they owe, he calls them “customers” and provides them with free job-search services, such as resume help and interview prep. Faites votre travail plus significatif - Monique Valcour. By Monique Valcour | 12:00 PM August 16, 2013 Have you noticed the rising chorus in the management literature proclaiming that work must have meaning?

Faites votre travail plus significatif - Monique Valcour

On this very site, for example, several authors have published research-based blog posts on how managers can create the conditions that support meaningful work. This is a very positive development, because work is a huge part of life, and meaning in life is not just a “nice-to-have”. We need it in the way we need oxygen. There are few things more life-enriching and life-prolonging in human experience than a sense of meaning. Six façons de couler une initiative de croissance. The CEO is confronted with a dilemma: The revenue and profits of his company’s existing businesses are rising slowly, and the businesses have already slashed their costs as much as they dare.

Six façons de couler une initiative de croissance

Because their markets are mature, he knows that the company must grow if the share price is to increase, but acquisitions are expensive and risky. So he launches a slew of initiatives in areas with high growth potential and appoints some promising young managers to lead them. To ensure that the new ventures aren’t stifled, he has their managers report to a special growth committee headed by a trusted staff executive and locates them a safe distance from the established businesses. Sound familiar? All too often CEOs and their senior teams see managing today’s earnings as their main job and don’t spend enough time on the pursuit of growth and building the kind of learning organization and culture that growth requires. 1.

Consumers’ Trust in Feelings as Information Tamar Avnet, Michel Tuan Pham, Andrew T. Libérez-vous de la pensée conventionnelle - Brian Klapper. Groundbreaking ideas are no longer a luxury when success is contingent upon an organization’s ability to adapt, innovate, and improve.

Libérez-vous de la pensée conventionnelle - Brian Klapper

We need look no further than Kodak, Sears, or Sony for validation that status-quo thinking is the fast-track to failure. How, then, can organizations break free of conventional thinking to spark creativity? The first step is to consider the way you have always done business — and stop. Failing to do so not only prevents truly innovative thinking; it also ensures failure. Consider Blockbuster’s failure to recognize the changing video rental landscape.

By Alan Kantrow | 9:00 AM August 13, 2013 As employers, as citizens, and as parents, executives the world over are increasingly becoming concerned about the education systems, especially post-high school, that are supposed to prepare young people for work and life.

La moitié manquante du débat sur l'éducation - Alan Kantrow

The crescendo of concern is shaping public discourse, policy debate, and private experimentation through commitments such as the $472 million made to higher education by the Gates Foundation since 2006. So far, I fear, the discussion is only half a conversation Take, for example, US President Barack Obama’s recent “middle out” speech at Knox College. His promise to “lay out an aggressive strategy to shake up the [tertiary educational] system, tackle rising costs, and improve value for middle-class students and their families” went over well.

The problem is that such talk leaves much unsaid. Il a de livrer de grands outils - et apprendre aux gens à les utiliser - Andrew Horne et Brian Foster. By Andrew Horne and Brian Foster | 10:00 AM August 12, 2013 In a workplace that is increasingly collaborative and knowledge-intensive, many CIOs plan to create value by delivering these capabilities effectively.

Il a de livrer de grands outils - et apprendre aux gens à les utiliser - Andrew Horne et Brian Foster

No wonder collaboration and analysis tools make up the single largest category of IT project spend. But much of this value is being lost because employees lack the skills to use these resources effectively.

Changements dans Pronoun utilisation en Livres américaines et la montée de l'individualisme, 1960-2008

Twenge, Department of Psychology, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182-4611, USA Email: jtwenge@mail.sdsu.edu Abstract Change over time in culture can appear among individuals and in cultural products such as song lyrics, television, and books. This analysis examines changes in pronoun use in the Google Books ngram database of 766,513 American books published 1960-2008. We hypothesize that pronoun use will reflect increasing individualism and decreasing collectivism in American culture.

Glaser | 9:00 AM April 24, 2013 You walk into a meeting late and people are already in huddles.

Colleagues glance over ever so briefly then turn back to their conversations. You sit down in a corner and use your smartphone to check email. Once the group discussion starts, you want to offer an opinion but can’t seem to get a word in. Rejection, or the fear of it, is a powerful social trigger — and, at work, it can be a debilitating one.

But managers who understand this vicious pattern can break it — in themselves and their employees. Prime the room for trust. Remember, we all thrive on being connected to others. Les valeurs «féminines» peut donner aux leaders de demain un Edge - John Gerzema. By John Gerzema | 9:00 AM August 12, 2013 A Pew Center study released in May revealed that working mothers are the sole or primary provider in a record 40 percent of U.S. households. Only a few days before, hedge fund billionaire Paul Tudor-Jones created a stir by remarking at a conference that women will never rival men as traders because babies are a “focus killer”. Here we have the dynamics of a new economy colliding with the old establishment like tectonic plates.

Big Data Dilemme Publicité - Christian Madsbjerg et Mikkel B. Rasmussen. By Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel B. Rasmussen | 8:00 AM August 7, 2013 The proposed merger of ad industry giants Omnicom and Publicis, forming the world’s largest advertising firm, promises to change the face of Madison Avenue forever. So long, Don Draper. Hello, Hal 9000. It’s understandable why two giants of traditional advertising would pursue such a consolidation — to better do battle against Google and Facebook, relative newcomers to the ad game but already upending the entire business dynamic by using Big Data analytics to create highly targeted ads. But an algorithm can never truly master the art of persuasion. Traditionally, the heart of any successful advertising agency has always been its creative department. Consider one of the classic examples from the period: in 1955, a minor brand of cigarette aimed at women smokers tapped the Leo Burnett agency to revamp its brand.

This is the art of persuasion. This kind of “skewing” is always happening with data. Favoriser une culture de la gratitude - Christine M. Riordan. By Christine M. Riordan | 1:00 PM April 23, 2013 In the movie Remember the Titans, Coach Herman Boone takes his high school football team to the battleground of Gettysburg. Having inherited a fractured and divided squad, Coach Boone implores the players to “take a lesson from the dead. If we don’t come together, right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were.” Coach Boone then establishes the primacy of an important team virtue: “I don’t care if you like each other right now, but you will respect each other.”

In every workplace and on every team, all people have the innate desire to feel appreciated and valued by others. Leçons de leadership du sauvetage minier chilien. Si vous voulez augmenter les prix, mieux raconter l'histoire - Ty Montague. S'assombrit auto-emploi chance de décrocher un emploi de l'entreprise, selon une étude. June 24, 2013 In a bleak job market, like the one that has prevailed during the past several years, does it make sense to head off on one's own? On the basis of recent increases in self-employment, a lot of people appear to think so, with the number of proprietors growing by almost 2 million in the US and by close to 400,000 in the UK during the Great Recession and its aftermath.

Yet, research to be presented at a major management conference this summer sounds a caution about these developments. Self-employment, it finds, entails not just such well-known drawbacks as low earnings, long hours, and risk to personal funds; it also has the further effect, until now unrecognized, of compromising prospects for wage employment if proprietorship falls short of expectations. In the field experiment, entrepreneurs received about 63% fewer positive responses from potential employers than wage employees received. Comment Critique forme des équipes innovantes - David Burkus. By David Burkus | 9:00 AM July 22, 2013 It’s tough to find examples of successfully challenging the boss, even tougher to find stories of leaders who specifically ask to be challenged. The most common is a tale of Alfred P. Sloan at General Motors. Qu'est-ce Candidats voulez vraiment: un travail intéressant - Nathaniel Koloc. Des PDG à blâmer pour tenures à court OCM? - Ty Montague.

By Ty Montague | 10:00 AM July 24, 2013 About once a week it seems, we are reminded that CMO tenure is unusually short. I have heard figures ranging from 23 months to 45 months. Both of these numbers are astonishingly low compared to other execs in the C-Suite: eight years for CEOs and ten years for CFOs. So why is CMO tenure so short? Experts have pointed to a host of reasons: the explosion of social media, the rise of big data, general complexity and chaos, incompetence… But what I haven’t seen is a serious discussion of the person directly responsible for the length of employment of the CMO: the CEO. As I argue in my new book, the best-run and most successful companies convey one clear, understandable story through every action that they take, not solely through their marketing. Yet the majority of CEOs pass this responsibility to others — the CMO, usually. There are a handful of enlightened CEOs, of course, who’ve embraced story for years.
