Lean Brain Management: More Success and Efficiency by Saving Intelligence - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gunter Dueck, geb. 1951, lebt in Waldhilsbach bei Heidelberg. Er war von 1982-87 Professor für Mathematik in Bielefeld und arbeitete dann bei der IBM an Strategie, Cultural Change und der Gründung neuer Geschäftsfelder (Business Intelligence, Cloud Computing). Zuletzt, bis 2011, war er Chief Technology Officer der IBM Deutschland. Der hochdekorierte Wissenschaftler, IEEE Fellow und querdenkende Bestsellerautor vieler satirisch-philosophischer Bücher kämpft heute als Philosoph, wie er sagt, im Unruhestand für die Weltverbesserung : für Bildung und neue Professionalität, für Innovation und Vorfreude auf das Digitale Zeitalter.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Intelligence is wasted on problems that themselves have been caused by an excess of intelligence. Lean Brain Management strives toward uncompromising Lean Brain Quality. Lean Brain stands for consistent economization of intelligence in all realms of life: Intelligent systems will only be operated by unskilled workers. Education, universities, and schools would become obsolete. A week of training would be enough for virtually any job. ("You are now the physician for the measles in the State of Ohio. In response to phone calls, send this prescription.")

Lean Brain is not aimed at dumbing down! Lean Brain can survive on just a very small amount of central intelligence. Potential savings amount to trillions! This is demonstrated using Germany as an example.

With this book, Dueck presents a radical suggestion for world improvement. The desire to laugh infinitely about it will eventually segue into a collective rude awakening. The book contains concrete advice for managers to economize on intelligence, and is thus―in keeping with the theme―written in an easy-to-read fashion. It contains no self-doubt whatsoever.
