Download or read book Planejamento Estrat gico e Alinhamento Estrat gico de Projetos written by Adilson Pize and published by Brasport. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O planejamento estratégico é um processo gerencial de grande importância e crítico para as organizações de todos os portes e setores. Um bom planejamento impulsiona a empresa na direção correta, auxiliando-a a se antecipar às ameaças, aproveitar oportunidades e realizar as mudanças/melhorias necessárias ao seu crescimento contínuo e sustentado. O SPCanvas – Strategic Planning Canvas – foi criado para apoiar o desenvolvimento do planejamento estratégico de forma interativa e colaborativa, envolvendo efetivamente as partes interessadas ao longo de todo o processo, funcionando também como uma ferramenta de comunicação para divulgar o planejamento estratégico na organização. Em complemento a isso, a seleção e a priorização dos projetos devem considerar o nível de alinhamento com as estratégias definidas pela organização em seu planejamento estratégico. Pesquisas realizadas mundialmente mostram que organizações de alta performance em projetos têm entre suas características os projetos alinhados às suas estratégias. Por outro lado, essas mesmas pesquisas demonstram que em muitas organizações o nível de alinhamento é baixo, ou seja, os portfólios de projetos contêm em sua composição projetos que não estão alinhados às estratégias organizacionais. O PSACanvas – Project Strategic Alignment Canvas – foi criado para apoiar as organizações na priorização e seleção de projetos com base no alinhamento deles com os objetivos estratégicos, bem como no uso dos recursos restritos da organização. ////// O presente livro nos brinda com uma abordagem simples e prática para o desenvolvimento de planejamento estratégico e priorização e seleção de projetos utilizando a contemporânea técnica de painel (canvas), que permite um trabalho colaborativo, ágil e de forte apelo comunicacional. Margareth Fabiola dos Santos Carneiro, PMP, MSc. Especialista em Governança, Gerenciamento de Portfólio, Programas e Projetos, Gestão de Riscos e Implementação de Estratégia Nesta obra cativante, Adilson Pize mergulha na prática do planejamento estratégico e a conecta com um bom processo de definição de carteira de projetos. Adilson traz ainda dois modelos práticos e flexíveis para aplicação em diferentes organizações – o SPCanvas e o PSACanvas – que, de maneira visual e colaborativa, podem auxiliar a organização que está dando os primeiros passos nesse sentido ou ainda aquela que deseja evoluir com suas práticas. Leitura recomendada para qualquer gestor. Thiago Ayres, PMP Consultor, Professor e Palestrante Internacional Gerenciamento de projetos e planejamento estratégico têm tudo a ver! Inicialmente pelo fato de que a carteira de projetos deve surgir dos objetivos do planejamento estratégico em um processo chamado de “alinhamento estratégico”. Aqui está um livro para ser apreciado pelos profissionais que trabalham com ambos os assuntos. Darci Prado Consultor e Professor ///// Li com muito prazer e interesse a nova obra de Adilson Pize, que tem vários méritos: (a) propicia ao leitor acesso à literatura de gestão estratégica e portfólio de programas e projetos de forma prática e didática; (b) fornece às pequenas e médias empresas, às organizações sem fins lucrativos ou aos órgãos públicos ferramentas enxutas e ágeis para fazer o planejamento estratégico de forma colaborativa e visual; e (c) proporciona aos docentes instrumentos para disseminar boas práticas de gestão estratégica capaz de passar os conceitos complexos de forma simples e direta. Uso as ferramentas (SPCanvas e PSACanvas) em minhas atividades de consultoria e docência desde que Adilson generosamente as colocou livremente à disposição da comunidade. Apliquei com sucesso essas ferramentas em organizações públicas, fundações e ONGs, bem como nas minhas aulas. Agora ficou ainda mais fácil disseminá-las entre os meus clientes e alunos. Tenho certeza que os leitores aproveitarão os ensinamentos deste livro bem como os canvas no seu dia a dia.

These assessment tools can easily be customized to suit individual companies-a particularly valuable feature of the model. Offering vital guidance for making project management a strategic tool for competitive advantage, this book helps managers, engineers, project team members, business consultants, and others build a powerful foundation for company improvement and excellence.

Download or read book Modeling for Learning Organizations written by John D.W. Morecroft and published by Productivity Press. This book was released on 2000-10-05 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom says that we can learn from our errors, but errors in the business world can be prohibitively costly. To truly understand how complex business organizations function requires different tools than most managers have been given. Yet managers need methods to understand how their organization works in order to test policies, discover flaws in thinking, and find the hidden leveragepoints within the complex systems they manage. Through a system simulation, the dynamics of the whole system, not just the individual parts, becomes apparent. The outcome of current and future situations becomes possible to predict and with this information, managers can focus on the changes that need to be made. The distinguished contributors to Modeling for Learning Organizations include Jay W. Forrester, Peter Senge, and Arie De Geus. You will learn about leading applications such as: Shell's work on modeling the oil producers. The Management Flight Simulator, a computer-based case learning environment pioneered by John Sterman and others at MIT The landmark Claims Learning Laboratory at Hanover Insurancecompanies. For managers, professionals, academicians, and everyone who recognizes the profound implications of modeling, this book is an excellent resource. It offers a broad understanding of the modeling process, discusses a multitude of case studies, and provides a review of the most recent simulation software.

Social and Economic Transformation in the Digital Era addresses this challenge by assembling the latest thinking of leading researchers and policy makers.
