Stop thinking in little boxes - for a better way of collaboration!
The corporate world has changed considerably but one thing has always remained the same, namely the organization chart, i.e. the neat depiction of the organization as a hierarchy of little boxes. All too often this prevents flexible collaboration without which no-one can successfully compete today.The solution? Blow up the organization chart!
Heinz-Walter Große, former Board Chairman of B. Braun Melsungen AG, and Bernadette Tillmanns-Estorf, Senior Vice President Corporate Communications and Corporate Human Resources of the same company, have realized this. Their book provides you with the explosive to use against the old, rigid form of work: Tasks & Teams. This is a new and proven method that B. Braun uses to organize collaboration in a new, improved way. Heinz-Walter Große and Bernadette Tillmanns-Estorf give a comprehensive and vivid account of its practical implementation. They explain why and how this method has been developed and introduced at B. Braun.Every company can make its form of organization more effective by means of the new formula for better collaboration: Tasks & Teams
About the author
Heinz-Walter Große ist promovierter Betriebswissenschaftler und seit 2011 Vorstandsvorsitzender des global tätigen Medizintechnik- und Pharmaunternehmens B. Braun Melsungen AG. In mehr als 40 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit hat er viele Organigramme gesehen und sich bereits als Finanzvorstand gewundert, wie schnell neue Bereiche mit zusätzlichen Mitarbeitern entstehen. Er ist sich sicher: Das Denken in Organigrammen behindert die Zusammenarbeit und führt zu einem unkontrollierten Aufbau von Personal. Das möchte er mit Tasks & Teams ändern. Er glaubt an die Chance zu einem Umdenken.
Bernadette Tillmanns-Estorf hat in Politischer Wissenschaft und Romanistik promoviert und war 6 Jahre in verschiedenen Positionen für den Deutschen Bundestag tätig, bevor sie 1996 zu B. Braun kam. Dort leitet sie die Bereiche Corporate Communications und Corporate Human Resources. In ihrer Doppelrolle sind ihr teamorientierte Führung, effektive Kommunikation und motivierte, selbstbestimmte Mitarbeiter eine Herzensangelegenheit. Deshalb arbeitet sie seit 2017 in ihren Bereichen über Silos und Kästchen hinweg nach dem Prinzip Tasks & Teams und entwickelt den Ansatz kontinuierlich weiter.
