Cómo capturar el valor de la dirección de proyectos mediante la agilidad organizacional

Número de Páginas: 19

We deal with constant change, uncertainty, and instability every day. Yet many organizations still only plan for the predictable -- and then are caught unprepared for what actually happens. To avoid a potentially disastrous outcome, high-performing organizations build the capability and capacity to change and adapt quickly to shifting market conditions. They create high levels of agility, which open up new opportunities for innovation and better project outcomes. Agility is the result of recognizing the need for change, and then mustering the willingness to make it happen. Change is hard. And to thrive in an uncertain business world, organizations must create a culture that promotes responsiveness and improves outcomes. With this latest Pulse of the Profession® in-depth report, we look at organizational agility from multiple perspectives and offer examples of leading practices that are at the foundation of success. We look at how agile organizations recognize the value of experienced and well-trained program managers, and implement standardized program management practices. They are also better at change and risk management. Above all, they rely on a solid framework based on the...

Número de Páginas: 336

Now available in Spanish! “There are moments when a story shakes you...Barely Missing Everything is one of those stories, and Mendez, a gifted storyteller with a distinct voice, is sure to bring a quake to the literary landscape.” —Jason Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of Long Way Down In the tradition of Jason Reynolds and Matt de la Peña, this heartbreaking, no-holds-barred debut novel told from three points of view explores how difficult it is to make it in life when you—your life, brown lives—don’t matter. Juan has plans. He’s going to get out of El Paso, Texas, on a basketball scholarship and make something of himself—or at least find something better than his mom Fabi’s cruddy apartment, her string of loser boyfriends, and a dead dad. Basketball is going to be his ticket out, his ticket up. He just needs to make it happen. His best friend JD has plans, too. He’s going to be a filmmaker one day, like Quinten Tarantino or Guillermo del Toro (NOT Steven Spielberg). He’s got a camera and he’s got passion—what else could he need? Fabi doesn’t have a plan anymore. When you get pregnant at sixteen and have been stuck bartending to make ends...

Los Huerfanos takes its readers on a frantic journey, with rest stops in Baku, Azerbaijan; Tehran, Iran; Reynosa, Mexico; Cuchara, Colorado; deep south Texas, and a remote village at the base of Shirkuh mountain in eastern Iran. Irans Revolutionary Guard assassinates the president of Iran and plans a desperate attempt to destabilize the United States by forging a deadly alliance with a Mexican drug cartel. With Irans leadership in political turmoil, ultra-extremists exert their influence and rush to finalize the first Iranian nuclear weapon. Fortunately for the United States, a mid-level Iranian official is a deep under-cover mole who provides vital information (at an agonizing personal cost) to the United States CIA and to Israels Mossad. Steve Curry finds himself on West Peak, staring into a crashed, vintage World War II DC-3 aircraft, which happens to be carrying $100 million of U.S. currency. He later learns that the cash was on its way to a Mexican drug cartel as part of a shocking scheme to develop a gateway across the MexicoU.S. border, which would allow al-Qaeda extremists to enter the United States undetected. Fortunately Steve knows none of this as he waits on West Peak...

El teorema Katherine

Autor: John Green

El autor de Bajo la misma estrella, nos regala una historia tocada por la emoción de un road trip, en una trama que combina de forma magistral golpes de humor, brillantes reflexiones sobre el amor y diálogos cargados de vida. Según Colin Singleton existen dos tipos de persona: los que dejan y los que son dejados. Él, sin duda, pertenece al segundo. Su última ex, Katherine XIX, no es una reina, sino la Katherine número diecinueve que le ha roto el corazón. Para escapar de su mal de amores, y con el propósito de hallar un teorema que explique su maldición de las Katherines, Colin emprende junto a su amigo Hassan una aventura que le llevará a Gutshot, un pueblecito de Tennessee, y a la sospecha de que en la vida la inteligencia no siempre es la mejor compañera de viaje. La crítica ha dicho... «Una historia afilada e inteligente donde la carcajada oscila entre lo deliciosamente inmaduro y lo sutilmente intelectual.» Booklist «Ingeniosa, compleja y enormemente entretenida.» Kirkus

Construyendo una iglesia de grupos pequenos

Autor: Bill Donahue , Russ Robinson

Número de Páginas: 224

Church should be the last place where anyone stands alone. Our hearts were made for deep, authentic relationships. For community. And like nothing else, small groups provide the kind of life-giving community that builds and empowers the body of Christ and impacts the world. At Willow Creek Community Church, small groups are so important that they define the core organizational strategy. Willow Creek has gone from being a church with small groups to being a church of small groups. Sharing insights from that transition, its two chief architects tell how your church---whatever its size and circumstances---can become a place where people of all ages can experience powerful, transforming community. Part one presents the theological, sociological, and organizational underpinnings of small groups. You'll discover why they are so vital to church health. Part two moves you from vision to practice. Part three shows you how to identify, recruit, train, and support group leaders. And part four helps you deal with the critical process of change as your church develops its small group ministry. 'Bill Donahue and Russ Robinson have not just thought and read and talked about community. They have...

Puerto Montt

Autor: Graeme Krupinski

Número de Páginas: 108

This is a book about reading. Not about writing. Writing doesn't matter and the people who write matter even less. Or so this writer's story goes. Puerto Montt looks at literature as a dangerous calling, in a world where reading is at the centre of both life and community and is not pushed to the outskirts. Rainer Kinrazip, our guide through these pages, takes the reader on a journey across time and space, from Santiago to Buenos Aires, from the present to the past and even through literature itself. From the words of Artaud, which greet us with a warning of the arrogance of writers, to the verse of Pizarnik, and the echoes of poetry punctuating the text. But this is not simply a manifesto ? a document of past literature with a projection for what it might resemble in some imagined future ? it is also a detective story, a search for meaning and truth while attempting to overcome the barriers of immigration, language and culture. "How does one act well?" is a question central to the story, but one that becomes even more muddied and unclear as Kinrazip slips through various countries and cultures, attempting to make his way towards an answer. Half poetry and half prose, Pureto Montt ...

El arte de la terapia

Autor: Peter Bourquin

Número de Páginas: 176

Cada día, miles de personas acuden a una terapia o participan en algún grupo terapéutico. ¿Qué las motiva para ello? Buscan la sanación en el sentido amplio de la palabra, es decir, llegar a ser sanas e íntegras. La sanación es un proceso en el que algo excluido, rechazado o no percibido encuentra el lugar que le corresponde en una persona, y con ello la calma. En este libro he tratado de comprender tanto el fenómeno de las heridas en el ser humano como su sanación en el contexto psicoterapéutico. Me parece esencial el darnos cuenta de que el terapeuta no hace la sanación, sino que esta sucede en la persona que la busca cuando se dan las condiciones adecuadas y se encuentra en un espacio sanador. En este sentido, la presente obra está pensada también como una guía para el trabajo terapéutico, más allá de una técnica concreta o de una escuela específica. La primera parte se dirige sobre todo a los terapeutas princi-piantes, mientras que las reflexiones sobre el arte de la terapia y la sanación, que se van desarrollando en la segunda mitad del libro, pueden ser de especial interés para los ?veteranos?. Asimismo, y dado que está escrito en un lenguaje sencillo...

"Bang! Everything suddenly turned black. I was in the middle of complete darkness with no way out, without any light in sight. I could hear the sounds of wheels and engines behind the darkness and emptiness around me, but I had no power to open my eyes. Pain, extreme pain cut my body in pieces like a thousand knives. I couldn't move, I couldn't see, I couldn't understand what happened. I don't know how long I've been lying there on the edge of the road, not able to move my body and not able to stop all the thoughts that were running though my head like wild birds trapped in a dark cage trying to find a way to make an escape.

I will break down the basics and provide you with plenty of recipes and ideas for simple, healthy meals that you can enjoy without having to worry about carbs or sugars. You can find my favorite high-fiber, low-carb recipes below! Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the body's ability to use sugar and its ability to produce insulin. However, most people do not understand that diabetes can be controlled and managed by changing the way they eat. There are a number of different types of diabetes and each person has been affected differently, however one thing is certain: managing diabetes is important for everyone with diabetes. Diabetics are prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which occurs when the body does not get enough glucose (sugar) from food. This can be dangerous if it happens in between meals or when you go without food altogether. Diabetics are also prone to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) which is caused by too much glucose in the body. This can lead to other serious medical conditions. If your blood...

Cultos

Autor: AMANDA. MONTELL

The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power. What makes "cults" so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we're looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join--and more importantly, stay in--extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell's argument is that, on some level, it already has... Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of "brainwashing." But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear--and are influenced by--every single day. Through juicy storytelling and cutting...
