In a world of constant change, where the very nature of work is evolving, how can organizations adapt to embrace a more human-centric approach?The answer lies within the pages of Neverland, a thought-provoking and insightful book by Trevor Hudson.Drawing upon years of experience driving organizational change and a deep commitment to transforming the way we work, the author explores the foundations of a more human-centered philosophy for the future of work.This book serves as a guide for overwhelmed leaders, trapped in the patterns inherited from their predecessors, often rooted in outdated Western, patriarchal and paper-based paradigms. It's a call to action, encouraging readers to ask the big questions that can unlock previously unconsidered possibilities in how we work and lead.The upheaval of 2020, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, forced millions to work from home. The unexpected experiment demonstrated that remote work is not only possible but can even boost productivity. Yet, it also revealed the toll it can take on individual wellbeing. This book examines the impact of this monumental shift and the opportunities it presents, Neverland doesn't just highlight the challenges; it offers practical solutions and insights drawn from a rich tapestry of collective wisdom and pioneering efforts across various fields. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the future of work, two formidable challenges emerge: predicting the future itself and tailoring the human-centric approach to each unique organisation.This book delves into these challenges, shedding light on what pioneers are doing to lead their companies into this new era. It's a dynamic space, and readers are invited to be as excited as the author about the possibilities it holds. With insight, wisdom, and a dash of inspiration, this book is an invitation to leaders, innovators, and dreamers to be bold, ask the tough questions, and imagine a new world of work - a Neverland - where the landscape of productivity, creativity and the desires-made-real of every individual and employee coexist.

Das Buch bietet einen praktischen Leitfaden, wie eine grundlegende strategische und strukturelle Neuausrichtung eines Unternehmens erfolgreich durchgeführt werden kann. Da jedes Unternehmen in seinem Kern und seiner Struktur einzigartig ist, handelt es sich nicht um eine Checkliste, die Schritt für Schritt abgearbeitet wird. Das Fachbuch gibt vielmehr einen Überblick zu konkreten Handlungsfeldern, die Unternehmen für ihren individuellen Bedarf anpassen sollten. Der Autor beschreibt einen aus der industriellen Praxis basierenden Ansatz für eine Unternehmensrestrukturierung bestehend aus sieben Bausteinen (7P): Plan, Personen, Partitionierung, Prozesse, Plattformen, Portfolio und Performance. Erfolgsentscheidend für eine gelingende Restruktruktierung ist die situative und individuelle Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Bausteine, sodass ein Unternehmen den notwendigen Wandel rechtzeitig, rasch und effizient vollziehen kann. Zahlreiche Beispiele aus der betriebswirtschaftlichen Praxis vermitteln dem Leser Impulse, um die Bausteine aufzugreifen und zu adaptieren sowie von den Fehlern anderer zu lernen.

Spätestens seit den massiven Desinformationsangriffen auf westliche Impfstoffhersteller während der Coronapandemie ist klar: Gezielt gestreute ¿Fake News¿ haben sich vom politischen in den wirtschaftlichen Raum ausgebreitet und Unternehmen werden sich zunehmend bewusst, dass auch sie zur Zielscheibe werden können. Die Folgen eines Desinformationsangriffs können gravierend sein: Wertverluste, Reputationsschäden sowie verunsicherte Mitarbeitende, Geschäftspartner und Investoren. Die modernen Kommunikationskrieger verfügen im Internet und in den sozialen Medien über ein mächtiges, breit gefächertes und relativ kostengünstiges Arsenal, mit dem sich Desinformationen in minutenschnelle effektiv verbreiten lassen, sodass Unternehmen kaum Zeit bleibt, sich wirksam dagegen zu wehren. Uwe Wolff beleuchtet die neue Situation, in der sich Unternehmen befinden, gibt Auskunft zur Abwehr von Desinformationsangriffen und zu deren zukünftiger Entwicklung. Dazu interviewte er unter anderem Medienanwälte und Kriminologen, Unternehmens- und IT-Berater, einen Darknet-Spezialisten, sowie einen Medien-Prankster und den ehemaligen Vorsitzenden der deutschen Wikimedia.
