This edition focuses on how Asian Development Fund (ADF) grants are
uplifting the lives of millions of the most vulnerable people in
Asia and the Pacific. The publication features 34 stories that use
the voices and perspectives of beneficiaries to showcase ADF
support to the region's low-income countries. A special chapter
explores how ADF is delivering services and hope to people living
in and around camps for the displaced in Bangladesh. The
publication also outlines current and potential future challenges
for the region as it seeks to achieve the Sustainable Development
Goals by 2030.
The Template-based management (TBM) approach has been used since
2003 across the world in diverse contexts. It has evolved
hand-in-hand with the evolution of business: Agile, Blueprints,
Canvas, Design Thinking, or Kanban are only few of the many current
concepts based on the approach. This book expands and upgrades the
author's 2003 book 'Template-driven Consulting' (Springer) by
tracing this evolution and offering the current state-of-the-art to
practitioners. TBM combines structure and method: pre-structuring
diverse processes, it helps to present complex activities and
procedures in a simple, clear, and transparent manner and then
implement them. The use of TBM ranges from conception or creative
work in agencies to designing organizations and strategies,
planning and monitoring initiatives and projects, to innovation
management and optimizing cost structures, processes, or entire
departments and divisions. The book also demonstrates how
successful organizations use TBM to methodically and structurally
apply the internal know-how in a cost and time-optimal way for
attaining sustainable business success. Readers will learn to apply
and use TBM, identify its importance, and benefit from a variety of
case studies that illustrate the application and use for the entire
business and management practice.
