A Very Irregular Head
“I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.”—Syd Barrett’s last interview, Rolling Stone, 1971 Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett (1946–2006) was, by all accounts, the very definition of a golden boy. Blessed with good looks and a natural aptitude for painting and music, he was a charismatic, elfin child beloved by all, who fast became a teenage leader in Cambridge, England, where a burgeoning bohemian scene was flourishing in the early 1960s. Along with three friends and collaborators—Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason—he formed what would soon become Pink Floyd, and rock ’n’ roll was never th...

Digital Britain One
The Government has not in general measured the benefits delivered by its two central internet services Directgov and Business.gov, and the infrastructure service Government Gateway, which together cost some £90 million a year, according to a report today by the National Audit Office. Government departments and other public bodies use Directgov, Business.gov and Gateway to provide information to the public and to support a range of government online services. It is crucial that the Government Digital Service (GDS), established in March 2011 to implement a new strategy to deliver all government information services digitally, builds in the right mechanisms to achieve value for money as it pla...

Sie finden mehr und mehr auch in anderen Managementbereichen Verbreitung, zum Beispiel in der Projektarbeit oder bei der Entwicklung von Produkten.

Allerdings: Noch beschränkt sich der Einsatz dieser Methoden auf einzelne Projekte oder Teams. Die vollen Potenziale entfaltet Agilität aber erst dann, wenn das ganze Unternehmen darauf ausgerichtet wird. Eine Ausweitung auf die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette ist geboten. In diesem Buch...
