Transforming Public and Private Sector Organizations

The book addresses an explicit demand expressed in a large number of C-Suite interviews: managing significant transformations in the private and public sector. The book describes what types of transformation have to be reflected, why transformations are crucial in our days, the triggers they have, and how they might be best managed from a theoretical and practical point of view – technically and with all people-connected soft facts. The book, which contains numerous use cases, is written by an international community of practitioners, experts, and academics from different geographies, countries, public and private organizations, industries, and cultures, which guarantees the comprehensiveness and richness of the developed insights and the value of the presented use cases.
