"Budgeting, which lies at the heart of management, is typically backward-looking, inflexible, politicized, and overly conservative -- in other words, it's a drag on organizational vitality. But in this provocative book, Bjarte Bogsnes shows you how to radically retool the budgeting process in your organization. Based on his experience in large and complex organizations, he takes you through a step-by-step process for transforming the way your organization is managed. This is essential reading if you want to build an organization that is fit for the future." -- Professor Gary Hamel , London Business School "This book is about how to create the right conditions to liberate people from traditional management practices, which organizations build as they grow, but which usually lead to reduced agility, employee disengagement, and ultimately decline. Since his 2009 book, Bjarte has journeyed a lot further beyond budgeting, gaining substantial new insights from practical experience, told in this edition as ever with great readability, authenticity, and enthusiasm." -- Robin Fraser , co-founder of the Beyond Budgeting Roundtable; co-author with the late Jeremy Hope of Beyond Budgeting "While it is common to hear managers complain about budgeting activities, too few are aware that the problems with budget management are more insidious. Budget management is a major cause of sub-optimisation; in simple terms, it makes performance worse. As with many human inventions, it solved problems of its time, but as time has moved on the problems and opportunities have changed. This book charts the development of better methods, balancing purpose and practice; improving the effectiveness of decision making; and, hence, organisation performance." -- John Seddon , Vanguard Praise for the First Edition "At last, Bjarte Bogsnes has made his experience and enthusiasm for Beyond Budgeting available for a wider audience with this remarkable book. I have appreciated his engagement in these important management issues for many years, and his knowledge and leadership have been critical in the transformation of our organization." -- Eldar Sætre , CFO (now CEO), Statoil "This is an excellent book for those who want to grapple with the difficult task of radically changing conventional ways of running a company to more effective ways of doing it and ways more in accordance with human nature." -- Jan Wallander , Honorary Chairman of Handelsbanken

Jan Wallander, Honorary Chairman of Handelsbanken, The future of management is here Traditional management was invented for very different times and is today in serious trouble. The level of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in business environments is record high. People's expectations towards their employers and leaders have also radically changed. A number of organizations are exploring management innovation that can help them not just coping but thriving and out-performing in these new and different realities. Beyond Budgeting may be the most important new idea out there addressing these radical changes, due to its broad scope and coherent approach. Abolishing the traditional, detailed annual budget is necessary, but not sufficient. Organizations on the journey are questioning their old leadership beliefs and are tearing up their old command-and-control management models, with "agile" and "human" as the foundation for a new start. Implementing Beyond Budgeting is both a theoretical introduction and a practical guide to bringing such a more empowered and adaptive management model to life. Drawing on the author's twenty years of Beyond Budgeting experience, this book not only demonstrates the serious problems with traditional management through numerous practical examples. It also follows several companies on their Beyond Budgeting journey, including Scandinavia's largest company Statoil where the author has been heading up implementation since 2005. You'll get a first-hand glimpse at the reality of transitioning a large multinational company, and gain a real-world perspective on what successful implementation entails. This new second edition has been significantly revised and expanded. It covers the amazing development of the Beyond Budgeting movement and how the Statoil implementation journey has continued since the first edition of this book was published in 2009, sustaining major events like for instance the 2015 oil price crash. A new chapter on "Beyond Budgeting and Agile" has also been added. New implementation experiences, great new case stories, new management innovation examples and management metaphors (traffic controls ) are introduced, as well as the author's latest reflections on a range of management issues including target setting, forecasting, performance evaluation and incentives., The future of management is here!

    This item was never shipped but U.S.P.S. showed it as having been delivered. After I contacted the seller, they discovered that it had not been shipped and they did not have one to ship me, so they immediately refunded my money. Seller responded quickly to my inquiry and quickly gave me a refund. Would buy from them again.
