Learning from Other Communities

This paper reflects a synopsis of the work in person/family-centered planning representative of its implementation across a variety of disability service systems, including prisons, schools, community-based service agencies and institutional settings. The authors who have contributed to this paper have direct experience in the field working with individuals who have disability labels of severe and persistent mental illness, mental retardation and developmental disabilities, and learning disabilities.

Diversity-Konzept 2011–2014 der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main

The “Diversity Concept of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main 2011–2014” is based on the goals as laid down in the University Development Plan 2011. The Goethe University combined various instruments for working out the concept, not least in order to ensure adequate participation: on the one hand, guided interviews were conducted, for example, with employees in advisory functions, members of the AStA (General Students’ Commit-tee), etc. On the other hand, Internet research, an open space workshop, as well as four strategy and awareness-raising workshops on various topics were organized. The concept was developed in close cooperation with the vice president responsible for gender and diversity, Prof. Dr. Roser Valenti, the Senate Commission “Advancement of Women, Equal Opportunity, and Diversity”, the “Project Supervision Group Diversity Poli-cies”, and the Equal Opportunities Office. The Goethe University already has various concepts and target agreements on gender equal-ity and family support. The Diversity Concept therefore includes no measures on these top-ics. With the expiry of the Plan for the Advancement of Women in 2014, all of the other reports and measures related to equal opportunity and diversity will be consolidated in a central “Gender Equality & Diversity Action Plan of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main” (GEDAP) and updated every four years.Das »Diversity-Konzept der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main 2011 – 2014« basiert auf den im Hochschulentwicklungsplan 2011 festgelegten Zielen der Universität. Für die Erarbeitung des Konzeptes hat die Goethe-Universität verschiedene Instrumente kombiniert, nicht zuletzt, um eine ausreichende Partizipation zu gewährleisten: So wurden zum einen Leitfadeninterviews mit Beschäftigten in Beratungsfunktionen, Mitgliedern des AStA und anderen geführt. Zum anderen wurden eine Internetrecherche, ein Open-Space-Workshop sowie vier Strategie- und Sensibilisierungs-Workshops mit unterschiedlichen Themenstellungen organisiert. Das Konzept entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit zwischen der für Gleichstellung zuständigen Vizepräsidentin, Prof. Roser Valenti, der Senatskommission »Frauenförderung, Gleichstellung und Diversität«, der »Projektsteuerungsgruppe diversityPolicies« und dem Gleichstellungsbüro. An der Goethe-Universität liegen bereits verschiedene Konzepte und Zielvereinbarungen zur Geschlechtergleichstellung und Familienförderung vor. Das Diversity-Konzept sieht deshalb dazu keine Maßnahmen vor. Mit Auslaufen des Frauenförderplans im Jahr 2014 werden gleichstellungs- und andere diversitätsbezogene Berichte und Maßnahmen in einem zentralen »Gender Equality & Diversity Action Plan« (GEDAP) der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main zusammengefasst und alle vier Jahre fortgeschrieben

Innovation in Automative Telematics Services: Characteristics of the Field and Management Priciples

The growing role of innovation in the strategy of car manufacturers leads them to relentlessly look for new sources of differentiation. In this way Telematics, a suite of technologies centered on communications systems within cars, is expected to bolster the car industry by offering a new stream of revenues. This articles focuses on the impact of this technology on design organization. In the first part, we demonstrate that Telematics is a radical innovation for automotive industry. Therefore traditional design models, such as heavyweight project management, are unsuitable. Next, the paper studies the organization adopted by a european car manufacturer in the light of recent research on the management of innovation.Management de projet;Services;Télématique automobile;Développement de nouveaux produits;Gestion de l'innovation

Business Process Management Education in Academia: Status, challenges, and Recommendations

In response to the growing proliferation of Business Process Management (BPM) in industry and the demand this creates for BPM expertise, universities across the globe are at various stages of incorporating knowledge and skills in their teaching offerings. However, there are still only a handful of institutions that offer specialized education in BPM in a systematic and in-depth manner. This article is based on a global educators’ panel discussion held at the 2009 European Conference on Information Systems in Verona, Italy. The article presents the BPM programs of five universities from Australia, Europe, Africa, and North America, describing the BPM content covered, program and course structures, and challenges and lessons learned. The article also provides a comparative content analysis of BPM education programs illustrating a heterogeneous view of BPM. The examples presented demonstrate how different courses and programs can be developed to meet the educational goals of a university department, program, or school. This article contributes insights on how best to continuously sustain and reshape BPM education to ensure it remains dynamic, responsive, and sustainable in light of the evolving and ever-changing marketplace demands for BPM expertise
