Experimental results: can the degree of use of Design Thinking be diagnosed using management tools?

Experimental results: can the degree of use of Design Thinking be diagnosed using management tools? In 2017, I was in Finland at Haaga Helia University of Applied Sciences, and I was able, together with Dr. Anna Kimberley, to conduct behavioral research in inter-administrative teams on the use of various management methods. One of them was also the Design Thinking methodology, which the students used to solve an organizational problem. The concept of Design Thinking emerged as a consequence of a

Experimental results: can online managerial tools be used to measure managerial actions taken not by managers?

I will now revisit an article I already linked on the blog when I wrote about how to use TransistorsHead.com’s managerial tools to record what a manager actually does. In that post, I showed that managerial tools are also measurement tools and record managerial actions taken by the manager. You can find out what, when and how the manager performed while managing the team. See more here: Now I’m going to show you that with the help of managerial tools,

What are the most important methodological problems that are obstacles to the automation of managerial work?

In 2017, on the basis of previous studies of managerial behavior with the help of online managerial tools on the TransistorsHead.com platform, I published an article in which I described the 5 most important such problems hindering the development of managerial automation. I would even say that they are hindering the development of management science and, by extension, the development of business. I will briefly outline these problems here, and you can find the entire article below. First, the methodological

Experimental results: how do managerial tools affect the way a manager works?

After a week’s break, I’m continuing my series on the results I’ve obtained in various types of experiments related to the automation of a manager’s work. The next in the series of experiments conducted using managerial tools on the TransistorsHead.com research platform also concerned project planning. The participants in the experiment were, as before, students studying Management at one of the private business schools. The students at this university prepared their theses in a rather unusual way by working on

Experimental results: do managers have a similar way of planning projects?

I continue to present my research results on the work of a manager and the search for the answer to the most important question when we want to build a robot manager: what does a manager actually do? In the study described below, together with Dr. Kinga Hoffmann-Burdzinska, we looked at how people plan projects and whether they do it in a similar way. For simplicity’s sake, to make the similarities more apparent (or to make it obvious that there
