In the digital transformation, crisis management in digital projects is also becoming a core
task for companies. Digital projects are being introduced at an ever faster pace, are be-
coming increasingly complex in terms of organization and technology - and are thus be-
coming more and more susceptible to crises.
Whether agile or classic project approach - this book is intended to enable all those re-
sponsible for digital projects to act when crises and problems escalate. The interdiscipli-
nary concept includes a structured framework in addition to an immediate help program.
This forms the framework for fact-based and well-considered decisions and aims to avoid
overreactions and rash actions and also to bring crisis projects to a successful conclusion.
The book is a practical guide to professional crisis prevention as well as to the successful
reorganization, realignment and orderly termination of digital projects.
Based on the 10 crisis management key success factors, the book addresses the problems
and crisis trajectories of different digital projects (standard, acceptance, pioneer and dis-
ruptor projects). Project managers who recognize these differences can use them to devel-
op individual crisis resolution strategies.

Smart Innovation through Natural Language Processing
Improving competitiveness with artificial intelligence
ISBN: 978-3-446-46756-9
378 pages, hardcover
Publication date: February 2021
Essential for anyone who wants to combine human and artificial intelligence in the best
possible way
• Shows how to use AI and manage information overload
• Places technological development at the heart of innovation development
• Navigates the thicket of emerging technologies
• Delivers a concrete innovation and technology strategy
The days when a product can successfully exist on the market for a long time are long
gone. Ever shorter product life cycles, constantly rising customer demands or the high level
of uncertainty in the market are just a few examples that show how vital it will be (and
already is) for companies to place their own innovation capability at the center of their
corporate policy and to constantly improve it. At the same time, technological develop-
ment is advancing rapidly, the flood of data continues to increase extremely, and it is al-
most impossible for companies to maintain an overview here.
How this overview can be achieved, where the journey is heading, which consequences
and decisions can be derived from it for the corporate strategy, is now conveyed by this
practical work, which can be put into practice in a very concrete way. The work shows how
AI can be used to turn big data into smart data and systematically develop a company's
own innovation and technology strategy. It illustrates how new technologies, new applica-
tions and experts will be identified in the future, shows that the path is clearly moving
from individual technologies to technology systems, emphasizes the central role of patents
and much more. The focus is always on consistent customer orientation!

Handbook Digital Competence Development
How companies are preparing for the digital future
ISBN: 978-3-446-46738-5
600 pages, Hardcover
Publication date : May 2021
The first comprehensive handbook for building and expanding digital competence
in companies
The world is changing continuously and rapidly - especially for companies. In this volatile
environment, there is much talk about the need to build digital literacy and lifelong learning.
To remain competitive, 21st century executives, departments and HR managers must suc-
ceed in empowering employees and management for the future. To do this, competencies
must be managed holistically and dynamically, learning systems require consistent further
development, and a learning culture must emerge that creates motivational moments for
the company's own employees and customers. Building digital competence is not a short-
term training project of the typical kind; rather, a holistic approach is needed that affects all
areas of the company and raises numerous questions:
• Which digital competencies are needed in which departments?
• Who defines these and who should implement this and how?
• What role does HR play in this?
• What do companies need in order to not only build digital competencies, but to con-
stantly develop them, and what needs to change in corporate structures?
The Digital Competence Handbook offers a comprehensive look from different perspectives
at the promising future direction of companies. In addition to cutting-edge research findings,
the book includes a large number of concrete contributions from the field, which help to
understand the different approaches and industry-specific differences and to compare them
with one's own approaches.

Introduction to technical drawing 2D and 3D
Technical product documentation for practice
19th revised edition
ISBN: 978-3-446-46728-6
180 pages, Paperback
Publication date : May 2021
The set of standards describing the representation, entry and simplification rules of compo-
nents on 2D drawings and 3D models is over 70 years old. Up to now, the technical draw-
ings/3D models are not represented in accordance with the standards in many cases. For
example, projection methods are often not used correctly. Furthermore, many things are
represented in practice that are not regulated. This is due on the one hand to the outdated
and rudimentary level of training, and on the other hand to the lack of a simple introductory
work. This textbook remedies the situation by concentrating on the essentials:
• You will be able to clearly represent title blocks, parts lists, scales and views and enter
all the necessary information for them.
• You will learn to apply projection methods correctly and thus to represent the com-
ponent unambiguously.
• You will be given an overview of the specification options required for unambiguous
descriptions.
• In addition to the standard contents, a practical procedure for the construction of
technical drawings is included. It can be used as a template for your own compo-
nents.
This book will help you make better technical drawings and 3D models. It will help you
avoid unnecessary and expensive reconciliations of ambiguous components.

Publication date : April 2021
The complex topic of geometric product specification to the point
The set of standards describing the tolerancing of components is over 40 years old. Up to
now, technical drawings have not been specified in accordance with standards in many cases.
For example, dimensions are sometimes ambiguous, and many things are assumed in practice
that are not regulated at all. This simple book for beginners aims to remedy this situation. It
concentrates on the essential know-how:
• the basic concept of specification possibilities
• clear definition of two-point dimensions
• basic rules for using references and tolerances to define allowable limits
• outlook to more advanced descriptions, which lead to better technical drawings and
help to avoid unnecessary, expensive coordination on the required content
In addition to the standard content, the book includes a practical procedure for assigning tol-
erances. This is explained using typical practical components and can serve as a template for
your own components.
