Czy Aldi ma to coś również w projektach? – wywiad z Katarzyną Wojnar

Z Katarzyną Wojnar, Customer Strategy Director w ALDI Polska, rozmawia Michał Barcik. Od samego początku wszystko, czym się zajmowałam w swojej karierze zawodowej, oparte było na budowaniu czegoś nowego i wdrażaniu tego w biznesowe życie – nowy dział, nowa strategia, nowa koncepcja, nowe podejście, nowy program, nowy produkt itp. Schemat pracy nie jest innowacyjny – trzeba na początku zrobić research, rozpoznać otoczenie, dalej dobrze zaplanować, następnie zaimplementować i na końcu podsumować, monitorując po drodze efekty, przyrosty i w razie potrzeby dokonać niezbędnych korekt. To jest klasyczne zarządzanie projektami. Trudność polega na tym, że o ile schemat jest dosyć nudny w swojej strukturze, to wymaga dobrego poruszania się po wielowymiarowych i rozproszonych płaszczyznach. Przydaje się myślenie analityczne i szeroki kontekst.

Focusing on developing that area will help you to really engage your teams, building-up strong relationship with your stakeholders, overcome challenges and be great. Move from project managers towards great project leaders.

Handling the Unknowable Unknowns – interview with Dave Snowden

How important is managing complexity (and chaos) in a time of crisis? Assuming you are referencing the EU Field Guide of that name than very. For the first time, it lays out a comprehensive set of methods and approaches to allow organizations to prepare themselves to handle the unknowable unknowns and also, the unknown known. The first is by focusing on creating an organization that has the ability to respond dynamically to uncertainty as it emerges and the second is by using employees as a human sensor network, to allow leaders to find people who are seeing things that other people are missing.
