This book presents five steps that individuals and businesses, together with their municipalities, can take towards achieving the serving municipality. A municipality in which people come together when the going gets tough or when things get off track. The municipal council, the municipal executive and the public servants have ten rules to live by to keep things transparent and open. Individuals and businesses, in turn, undertake the obligation to give back to their municipalities. In so doing, the municipality at your service is within everyone's reach.

This book deals with the state of affairs in privately managed living environments: from the perspective of the residents, the local community, local and other government bodies, and the market players investing in such facilities.

Making choices. That’s what executives indicate is the most difficult in times of crisis. With the future being more uncertain now than ever, setting course through these tough times appears to be very difficult for many companies. Therefore, top management shies away from these decisions by sticking with proven concepts. This is the main outcome of the annual Berenschot research on trends in strategy among top managers of Dutch companies.

The demand for major changes within an organisation almost always requires a programme-based approach. This book explains this theme from various perspectives.

The authors have set out to create a bridge between professional domains that are currently still stand-alone: process management, change management and programme management. Indeed, combinations of approaches from these professional domains in actual practice appear to clearly lead to more successful programmes. This is just one of the findings of the analysis of the implementation of dozens of programmes and change management programmes conducted by the authors in support of this book.

The Netherlands is a country of many associations. Almost half of its citizens is a member of two or more organisations. There is an association for almost every purpose, hobby, illness or interest. Sport, culture, community work, care and lobbying groups are run by associations. Trade unions, broadcasters and political parties are associations. And many of these associations in turn are part of a sector association or an umbrella organisation. Altogether these associations constitute a network within which an important part of the social and political traffic in the Netherlands takes place.

This book presents a new approach to capacity management: the Dynamic Capacity Management model facilitates the creation of new initiatives for deploying workers in the most efficient way. Berenschot has developed and implemented this model at four organisations in the nursing & care and home care sectors.

70 Key Models: Content, Application, Analysis and Reference
Love them or hate them, but management models are an integral part of corporate life.

Municipal restructuring is usually accompanied by a lot of emotion. Protagonists and antagonists combat each other with all means at their disposal. The former perceive new opportunities after the merger: improved services for citizens and companies, qualitatively better civil servants and public administrators, and a stronger position in the labour market as a way of making new personnel interested in a career with the municipality. Antagonists point to the growing gap between citizens and public administrators and the declining involvement of citizens in their municipality. To what extent are these claims true? Are larger municipalities in fact able to deliver better services than smaller ones? Are residents of restructured municipalities likely to turn away from their city councils? To what extent does the way in which the restructuring was achieved (bottom-up or top-down) affect the effects of the restructuring?
