In one modest-sized volume, this book offers three valuable sets of knowledge. First, it provides best practice guidance on virtually every large-scale task a modern manager may be involved in—from recruiting and hiring to onboarding and leading teams, and from employee engagement and retention to performance management and working with difficult employees.Second, it explains the essential concepts and practice of a range of effective leadership styles—including (but not limited to) servant leadership, crisis leadership, change agent leadership, and diversity and inclusion leadership. Third, it offers brief case studies from select CISOs and CSOs on how these management and leadership principles and practices play out in real-life workplace situations.The best practice essentials provided throughout this volume will empower aspiring leaders and also enable experienced managers to take their leadership to the next level. Many if not most CISOs and other leaders have had very little, if any, formal training in management and leadership. The select few that have such training usually obtained it through academic courses that take a theoretical, broad brush approach. In contrast, this book provides much actionable guidance in the nitty-gritty tasks that managers must do every day.Lack of management practical knowledge puts CISOs and CSOs at a disadvantage vis-a-vis other executives in the C-suite. They risk being pigeonholed as “security cops” rather than respected business leaders. Many articles on these subjects published in the press are too incomplete and filled with bad information. And combing through the few high-quality sources that are out there, such as Harvard Business Publishing, can take hundreds of dollars in magazine subscription and book purchase fees and weeks or months of reading time. This book puts all the essential information into your hands through a series of concise chapters authored by an award-winning writer.

We have gone through one of the most disruptive societal changes, on a global scale, over the last three years due to COVID-19. Regardless of the personal and professional impact the pandemic had on us, we've all had to adapt to a different reality that continues today. The pandemic has also forced organizations large and small to adjust and rethink their normal business activities – sometimes in abrupt ways – in order to survive a global shutdown. Organizations that did adjust well applied five major principles that they'll be wise to continue with for the long-term, both when facing extreme events or merely the new normal. First and foremost, successful organizations accelerated digital and the use of digital tools and business models as much as possible. For example, retail operations with modest digital presence suddenly had to sell through digital channels, rather than physical stores. Entertainment content creators had to push everything into streaming services instead of theaters. And healthcare providers moved patient encounters from in-person to telehealth as much as was feasible and safe. This accelerated the digital transformation movement and is the focus of this book. This thought-provoking book offers fundamental principles and a narrative about the entire journey to doing and ultimately being digital, with the view to help the reader build their own mental model on how to approach digital in their situations and organizations. The book also draws a story in which concepts and practices are introduced as needed and is based on the author's own experiences at American Express and Disney. Presented in five parts, the author introduces the topics of digital, digitization, and digital transformation; discusses the fundamental concepts and building blocks of digital; describes who makes up the ideal digital team; the principles and processes of execution; and puts it all together in the context of the overall business. The author concludes his narrative with a case study from the healthcare industry – an industry that is still 10-15 years behind in their digital transformation. The book concludes with the author's observations of what AI and ChatGPT means for digital transformations.

Everyone talks innovation and we can all point to random examples of innovation inside of healthcare information technology, but few repeatable processes exist that make innovation more routine than happenstance. How do you create and sustain a culture of innovation? What are the best practices you can refine and embed as part of your organization's DNA? What are the potential outcomes for robust healthcare transformation when we get this innovation mystery solved? Through timely essays from leading experts, the first edition showcased the widely adopted healthcare innovation model from HIMSS and how providers could leverage to increase their velocity of digital transformation. Regardless of its promise, innovation has been slow in healthcare. The second edition takes the critical lessons learned from the first edition, expands and refreshes the content as a result of changes in the industry and the world. For example, the pandemic really shifted things. Now providers are more ready and interested to innovate. In the past year alone, significant disruptors (such as access to digital health) have entered the provider space threatening the existence of many hospitals and practices. This has served as a giant wake-up call that healthcare has shifted. And finally, there is more emphasis today than before on the concept of patient and clinician experience. Perhaps hastened by the pandemic, the race is on for innovations that will help address clinician burnout while better engaging patients and families. Loaded with numerous case studies and stories of successful innovation projects, this book helps the reader understand how to leverage innovation to help fulfill the promise of healthcare information technology in enabling superior business and clinical outcomes.

The practices of agile software development and DevSecOps (Development integrated with Security integrated with Operations) differ from traditional linear systems of working. The people doing this work – who they are and what they expect – and the way the work gets done in today's tech industry demand a leadership practice specific to this way of working. This book explores leadership practice in today's technology industry using the twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto as a framework. Each of the twelve principles includes a section of key takeaways to help the reader apply the principle in practice. It extends traditional notions of leadership, specifically Complexity Leadership Theory (CLT), to one that is post-heroic, acknowledging the processual, conjunctive and generative nature of leadership relationships. Leader-follower dynamics are complex—they include power dynamics, conflict, ambiguity, and paradox—and technology organizations are complex. This book challenges the suitability of some aspects of complexity theory and offers practices that are more suitable for leading today's technology organizations.

'Zero Trust is the strategy that organizations need to implement to stay ahead of cyber threats, period.

IT and cybersecurity teams have had a long-standing battle between functionality and security. But why? To understand where the problem lies, this book will explore the different job functions, goals, relationships, and other factors that may impact how IT and cybersecurity teams interact. With different levels of budget, competing goals, and a history of lack of communication, there is a lot of work to do to bring these teams together. Empathy and emotional intelligence are common phenomena discussed in leadership books, so why not at the practitioner level? Technical teams are constantly juggling projects, engineering tasks, risk management activities, security configurations, remediating audit findings, and the list goes on. Understanding how psychology and human factors engineering practices can improve both IT and cybersecurity teams can positively impact those relationships, as well as strengthen both functionality and security. There is no reason to have these teams at odds or competing for their own team's mission; align the missions, and align the teams. The goal is to identify the problems in your own team or organization and apply the principles within to improve how teams communicate, collaborate, and compromise. Each organization will have its own unique challenges but following the question guide will help to identify other technical gaps horizontally or vertically.

Dieses Buch erklärt die wichtigsten Fachbegriffe und Inhalte und ordnet diese den entsprechenden Bereichen zu. Einbezogen werden auch scheinbare Randgebiete, die für die Informationssicherheit ebenfalls eine Rolle spielen. So wird der Themenkomplex Safety und Privacy hinsichtlich seiner Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede beleuchtet. Das Buch zeigt aktuell verwendete Angriffsmuster und wie man sich dagegen schützen kann. Schutz muss dabei sowohl auf technischer Ebene (z. B. durch den Einsatz von Kryptographie) als auch auf organisatorischer und personeller Ebene (z. B. durch entsprechende Managementsysteme und Awareness-Schulungen) erfolgen. Wie lässt sich feststellen, wie sicher Daten sind? Wie lassen sich relevante Bedrohungen finden, gegen die man sich schützen muss? Wie verlaufen Risikoanalysen?

Dieses Buch richtet sich primär an Controller:innen, die digitale Lösungen zur Optimierung ihres Unternehmenserfolgs einsetzen möchten. Viele Praxisbeispiele zeigen, welche Aspekte dabei zu beachten sind und wie sich mögliche Hindernisse überwinden lassen. Viele deutsche Unternehmen, insbesondere im Mittelstand, haben in puncto Digitalisierung im internationalen Vergleich weiterhin Nachholbedarf. Zwar wurde die Digitalisierung in den letzten Jahren vorangetrieben, jedoch schöpfen nur wenige Unternehmen die Potenziale vollständig aus. Als zentrale Planungs- und Kontrollfunktion spielt das Controlling hierbei eine wichtige Rolle. Häufig liegen die Herausforderungen vor allem in der Implementierung digitaler Lösungen, da hiermit Veränderungen bestehender Strukturen und Prozesse im Unternehmen verbunden sind. Während es bereits umfassende theoretische Literatur dazu gibt, kommen die Erfahrungen von Unternehmen bei der praktischen Umsetzung bislang noch viel zu kurz. Genau hier setzt dieser Sammelband an: Theoretisch fundiert zeigt er anhand von Fallstudien und Praxisbeispielen auf, wie die Digitalisierung im Controlling angegangen und erfolgreich durchgeführt werden kann.

Die zunehmende Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche bedeutet für die Unternehmen, dass die IT sich mehr und mehr von einer betrieblichen Unterstützungsfunktion zu einem zentralen Wertschöpfungsprozess wandelt. Damit ist es erforderlich, dass die IT nach ähnlichen Prinzipien wie die Kernprozesse der Unternehmen funktioniert. Neben den bisherigen Anforderungen nach Stabilität, Sicherheit, kostenoptimaler und zuverlässiger Betrieb wird eine hohe Innovationsfähigkeit und hohe Veränderungsgeschwindigkeit vorausgesetzt.Die Konsequenzen sind bereits heute in vielen IT-Organisationen sichtbar:Innovative Anwendungen künstlicher Intelligenz bzw. selbstlernender Systeme werden als Enabler für Automatisierung eingesetzt.Agile Vorgehensweisen aus der Softwareentwicklung finden Einzug im IT-Projektmanagement, IT-Betrieb und Support. Zur Gewährleistung von IT-Qualität und Anpassungsgeschwindigkeit werden bisherige Bereichsgrenzen in Frage gestellt. So werden in vielen IT-Organisationen mit DevOps die Abteilungsgrenzen zwischen Entwicklung (Dev) und Betrieb (Ops) überwunden.Herkömmlich Architekturen und Betriebsmodelle werden durch Cloud-basierte Lösungen ersetzt. Damit verbunden sind aufbau- und ablauforganisatorischen Regelungen zur Bereitstellung und Verwaltung von Cloud-Lösungen und -Services. Während die Bedeutung eines hochverfügbaren, flexiblen IT-Betriebs damit steigt, verändern sich deren Aufgaben und Verantwortung grundlegend: Der eigentliche Betrieb der IT rückt in den Hintergrund Gefordert ist eine Steuerung der Anbieter und Partner in einem Multi-Sourcing-Umfeld.Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich auch die Frage, inwieweit etablierte Entwicklungs- und Betriebs-Frameworks für die Bewältigung der Anforderungen genutzt werden können.
