The work of the National Research Council’s Committee on Oversight and Assessment of U.S. Department of Energy Project Management can be traced back to 1998, when there was a one-person report by Lloyd Duscha, Assessing the Need for Independent Project Reviews in the Department of Energy. His report led to expansion of the agency’s external review process and changes to it. In the wake of …

From Information Management to Knowledge Management: Beyond the 'Hi-Tech Hide…

Most extant knowledge management systems are constrained by their overly rational, static and acontextual view of knowledge. Effectiveness of such systems is constrained by the rapid and discontinuous change that characterizes new organizational environments. The prevailing knowledge management paradigm limits itself by its emphasis on convergence and consensus-oriented processing of informatio…

I NTRODUCTION TO MANAGEMENT I N THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Approaches to strengthening health information systems

The focus of this book has been on routine health unit-based information systems. Routine health information systems, more than nonroutine methods such as surveys or rapid assessment methods, are the main data source in most countries. Yet they have the infamous reputation for producing a plethora of irrelevant or low-quality data. Therefore, most health managers, as a rule, do not use the…

Project Management

Projects are, more than ever, a fact of life for voluntary organisations. Changing patterns of funding, particularly the impact of the Community Fund, mean that it is becoming ever more common for agencies to develop their work and secure funding by developing specific projects. Funders in their turn are asking for details of how projects will be managed, with some beginning to expect agencies …

But I bet you’re itching to actually do something. In this chapter, we’ll talk about the work that comes before the project life cycle—finding possible projects, working out which projects are worth pursuing, and getting to know th…

How to deal with your manager

Managers need to understand why people behave as they do. To get things done through other people, you have to know why they behave in a certain manner. Understanding past behaviour is also important in itself for developing human skills. Understanding why people did what they did yesterday enables a manager/supervisor to predict how they are likely to behave tomorrow, next week, and next mont…
