Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les temps ont changé. Hier, nous pratiquions des audits de conformité. Aujourd'hui nous voulons pratiquer des audits de performance. Hier, nous pratiquions des audits qualité. Aujourd'hui nous souhaitons effectuer des audits de management QSEDD. Hier, les auditeurs se comportaient comme des gendarmes et bien entendu les audités se conduisaient comme des malfaiteurs n'ayant qu'une obsession : cacher les dysfonctionnements de leur domaine. Aujourd'hui, il est question d'établir des relations de confiance afin de faire remonter toutes les sources de non-performance (celles que les audités connaissent et celles qu'ils ne soupçonnent même pas) et de les éliminer. Hier, nos organisations fonctionnaient dans un environnement stable et les audits internes nous rassuraient sur le respect des bonnes pratiques de travail. Aujourd'hui, elles travaillent dans un environnement en continuel changement et les audits internes doivent leur permettre d'être les garants d'une parfaite adaptation au milieu, c'est-à-dire aux marchés, aux usagers, à la réglementation, à la technologie, etc. Bref ! il faut que les audits internes deviennent de véritables outils de management reconnus comme tels par nos managers. Ce livre propose des méthodes de travail pour réaliser des audits internes de management QSEDD et de performance, avec des outils pratiques à télécharger (guide d'audit, modèles de rapports d'audits, planches comparatives, enregistrements...).

Download or read book Unfolding Stakeholder Thinking written by Jörg Andriof and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book – the first of a two-volume series – argues that, today, stakeholder thinking has evolved into the study of interactive, mutually engaged and responsive relationships that establish the very context of doing modern business, and create the groundwork for transparency and accountability. This book makes it clear that in today's societies successful companies are those that recognize that they have responsibilities to a range of stakeholders that go beyond mere compliance with the law or meeting the fiduciary responsibility inherent in maximizing returns to shareholders. If in the past the focus was on enhancing shareholder value, now it is on engaging stakeholders for long-term value creation. The process of engagement creates a dynamic context of interaction, mutual respect, dialogue and change – not a one-sided "management" of stakeholders. Indeed, the authors believe the very term "stakeholder management" to be outdated and corporate-centric. Companies can manage their relationships with stakeholders, but frequently cannot actually manage the stakeholders themselves, because, as the activist and collaborative initiatives described in this volume suggest, company-stakeholder relationships are not one-way streets and different institutions bring different agendas, goals and priorities to the engagement. There are clear implications to the way in which stakeholder thinking is unfolding today. If in the past corporate "social" responsibility was simply seen as profitability plus compliance plus philanthropy, now responsible corporate citizenship – or corporate responsibility – means companies being more aware of and understanding the societies in which they operate. Corporate responsibility means recognising that day-to-day operating practices affect stakeholders and that it is in those impacts where responsibility lies, not merely in efforts to "do good". Companies are now faced with a wide array of challenges that mean that senior executives and managers need to be able to deal with issues including greater accountability, human rights abuses, sustainability strategies, corporate governance codes, workplace ethics, stakeholder consultation and management. Stakeholder thinking needs to capture these new realities. The global reach of multinational corporations has served to highlight the need for the (re)integration of business into society, relationships into stakeholder relations, and ethics into managerial practice. The rise in power of global activism involving NGOs, and global business involving multinational corporations, makes it even more critical today for companies to consider the power and interests of corporate stakeholders when developing strategic plans. The interactivity and mutuality of relationships described in this book make it clear that firms and stakeholders share the power and responsibility to influence both the profit potential of the firm and how the benefits of the firm's success impact on society. This important volume brings together leading academic thought on stakeholder thinking for the first time. Unfolding Stakeholder Thinking will be indispensable to corporate managers, NGOs and academics seeking greater understanding of the dynamics of stakeholder thinking in a world of rapidly changing responsibilities.A companion volume, Unfolding Stakeholder Thinking 2, focusing on practical issues such as relationship management, communication, reporting, and performance, is also available.
