His professional approach integrates Enterprise Engineering methodologies such as DEMO and BPMN with dialogical organisational development, Appreciative Inquiry, and systemic thinking. Drawing from both consulting practice and interdisciplinary research, his work focuses on understanding enterprises as dynamic social systems shaped by structure, relationships, governance, and shared mental models. This book synthesises decades of practical experience, conceptual reflection, and real-world transformation work into a coherent systemic framework for enterprise transformation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032299307\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148608737420,"sku":"9783032299307","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032299307.jpg?v=1781057776","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032299307","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
