edited by GIZ GmbH.
- ix, 281 pages : color illustrations 24 cm
Cooperating successfully in complex systems is a key
challenge of the 21st century ll a challenge we encounter
in the global business context and in almost all policy
fields. Whether we are looking at airport expansions,
health reform, education system reform or public debt
reduction, the complexity of such social change processes
requires sophisticated interaction between different
organisations and institutions in the public and private
sectors and in civil society, and often across national
borders and between continents. The Deutsche Gesellschaft
f©or Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH possesses
over 30 years of experience in managing cooperation
worldwide. It has now consolidated its comprehensive
expertise by publishing this book. The management model
Capacity WORKS is designed for everyone actually involved
in cooperation: managers, executives, consultants and
advisors in business, governance, public administration
and the nonprofit sector. It provides a full introduction
to the challenges of successful cooperation management,
and supplies practitioners with tried and tested
approaches. Five success factors (strategy, cooperation,
steering structure, processes, and learning & innovation)
delineate the various facets that help focus on the
objectives and results of complex cooperation systems. The
conceptual framework underlying the success factors is
clearly set out, and the success factors are supplemented
by an extensive toolbox to support practitioners working
in these five areas. At the same time the manual gives
readers a broad insight into the world of cooperation
management for sustainable development. It includes
numerous practical examples, proven contexts of
application and glimpses into the work of international
cooperation. The editor The Deutsche Gesellschaft f©or
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German
federal enterprise that supplies workable, sustainable and
effective solutions to political and economic challenges
by facilitating social change processes. GIZ operates in
over 130 countries worldwide.
