This is Beyond Budgeting: A Guide to More Adaptive and Human Organizations
About this audiobook
In This is Beyond Budgeting: A Guide to More Adaptive and Human Organizations, award-winning author Bjarte Bogsnes describes a tested and proven way of making organizations more adaptive and human. This involves radically changing traditional management, including the budgeting process, the central nervous system of rigid and bureaucratic organizations. In this book, you’ll learn to establish a highly decentralized and dynamic management model with more adaptive and self-regulating processes, designed in line with and not against human nature.
The author explains what the Beyond Budgeting model entails and illustrates its use with real-world case studies of companies that have implemented it to great effect. He discusses the most common challenges encountered during the implementation of Beyond Budgeting, including the challenge of changing not just what we do, but also how we think. This includes discarding the two main assumptions behind traditional management; that the future is predictable and plannable, and that people can’t be trusted.
This is Beyond Budgeting demonstrates how to take the principles of agile and scale them up to enterprise level, through a comprehensive model that offers a coherent combination of leadership principles and management processes. The book also describes the many benefits that companies can realize by exploring and embracing management innovation as boldly as technology innovation.
This audiobook will earn a place in the libraries of managers, executives, board members, and other leaders seeking a better way to lead and manage in new and different realities, with increasing complexity and volatility, and where employees have new and different expectations, way beyond just a paycheck.
