This book is an essential guide or foundational toolkit for anyone who is involved in the process of developing, offering or selling any type of product or service. Based on how to surf on the waves of innovation and the principle of "form follows function" (System Architecture), it introduces and connects concepts like Market Understanding, Design Thinking, Design to Value, Modularization and Agility. It introduces readers to the essence of these main frameworks and provides a toolkit that explains both theoretically and practically when and how to utilize which one. The methods and processes described in this book have all been successfully tested in many industries. They apply in today's market context of high uncertainty, complexity and turbulence, where innovation and disruption are essential. Readers will find answers to two fundamental questions: How can we implement an innovation process and environment that are conducive to successful product design? And, if our products fail to appeal to customers, how can we achieve a major turn-around with regard to product development? A wealth of examples and case studies help readers to benefit from the authors' broad professional experience. Further, lessons learned and conceptual summaries provide valuable shortcuts to the methods and tools discussed. For today's CEOs, enabling innovation is one of THE most complex leadership tasks. But innovation is not about theory and nice buzzwords. It's about succeeding in the real world. This 'hands-on' book connects the dots and introduces the reader to some of the most relevant ideas and pragmatic concepts fitting today's business reality. Dr. Robert Neuhauser, Executive VP and Global Head People and Leadership Development, Siemens At the most fundamental level this book brings order to chaos. It sets different and highly relevant design approaches into a complementary picture, rather than presenting them as competing ways of solving the same problem. Product designers, managers, consultants, scholars and students will surely have this valuable book within reach on a daily basis.

Der kontroverse -ffentliche Diskurs zur Rationalisierung und Rationierung imbundesdeutschen Gesundheitswesen trifft fast alle Beteiligten weitgehend unvorbereitet - insbesondere die Patienten. Das schwierige Problem der Verteilung begrenzter Mittel wird gerade in der medizinischen Versorgung zu einem vielschichtigen Konfliktfeld. Das Ergebnis eines interdisziplin{ren Diskurs ist die vorliegende Dokumentation, in welcher in verst{ndlicher Form Fragen zur Allokationswirklichkeit unseres Gesundheitswesens, zu M-glichkeiten und Grenzen desselben, zu Indikation und Bedarf von medizinischen Leistungen, zur Struktur und zu -konomischen Grundlagen der medizinischen Versorgung sowie zur Verteilungsgerechtigkeit aus medizinischer, philosophischer und juristischerSicht zusammengefa t sind. Daraus ergibt sich auch die Darlegung }bergeordneter gesundheitspolitischer Zusammenh{nge. Durch diesich an alle Beitr{ge anschlie ende, vollst{ndig }berarbeitete Diskussion wird es dem Leser erm-glicht, den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Debatte gesundheitspolitisch relevanter Fragen auf allen Entscheidungsebenen am Beispiel der Transplantationsmedizin zu verfolgen. Da es sich um eine erste Zusammenstellung dieser Art mit umfangreichen Literaturhinweisen handelt, wird das Buch sowohl im Rahmen vonFachgremien (z.B. Sachverst{ndigenrat der Konzertierten Aktion im Gesundheitswesen) als auch bei wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten herangezogen werden.
