Cambio como un juego

El cambio como un juego de interaccion estrategica es el edición español del libro Change as collaborative play

Los entornos de las organizaciones han experimentado grandes turbulencias en los últimos años. La globalización, la digitalización, la inteligencia artificial y la robótica, la nueva sociología del mercado laboral o el aumento de la complejidad de los mercados han contribuido a una nueva dinámica de incertidumbre y ambigüedad. Las organizaciones están cambiando internamente y en sus relaciones con las demás, pero este cambio puede verse como algo positivo. Este libro, dirigido a estudiantes, profesionales de la transformación organizacional, asesores en procesos de cambio y profesores universitarios y de escuelas de negocios, plantea una dinámica de juego para impulsar el cambio en las organizaciones y gestionarlo de forma exitosa. Un modelo que invita a la interacción y que ofrece un punto de referencia e inspiración a los jugadores que quieren contribuir al cambio y desarrollarse ellos mismos.

Public healthcare

The development of a global alliance and their ambition to finance change in local communities and change finance for the good of all.

Co-creation

I am very happy with this new site with a fresh and professional design and intuitive navigation that guides you through a wealth of information.

This site was created in co-creation in which more people have contributed.

Greo Belgers was immediately excited when I told him I longed for a new site. Around the kitchen table we developed first ideas. Maarten Nefkens and Rens de Jonge van Dawn created the design. Our ideas shaped in a continuous search for functionality and beauty.

Pepijn van Vlaanderen at Web agency Royal Webbers constructed the site with perfection. Pepijn was always there when I had questions in uploading content. All questions were answered fast and effective. I am glad that Pepijn takes care for technical management and maintenance.

Personally I edited presentations, gathered publications together, compose texts and chose the images.

The result is for you. A source of knowledge, experience and inspiration. Let me know what you think of it and good ideas for improvement are always welcome.
