"An outstanding framework and powerful tools. A huge impact " President, Kellogg's
The fast-moving, furiously-changing world of exponential digital technologies, seismic social changes, and global existential risks is demanding that every organization innovates with agility whilst still maintaining efficient management and predictable returns. Those that cannot unleash the potential of their people to transform products and processes as times change quickly become obsolete. This is why one S&P company is being replaced every two weeks; and why 50%-75% of the Fortune 500 are predicted to disappear in a decade.
This challenge to Business As Usual cannot be underestimated. The Command & Control management system of the 20th Century, upon which most organizations are built, was designed to limit the very empowerment, creativity, and adaptability needed to compete in the 21st Century. The vast majority of an organization's strategic problems--from disrupted business models to disengaged staff--are rooted in this broken paradigm. Restructures that don't break through this thinking are doomed to fail; even as much-lauded alternatives, like "self-management", often end in dysfunctional chaos and costly complexity.
But it doesn't have to be this way. By choosing to become a Transformational Organization, you can ensure your enterprise does not just survive, but actually thrives in, the digital, disrupted, and damaged world. Architect your enterprise upon the neuroscience-inspired *Create & Control* blueprint described in this book and you get the best of both worlds: a stable hierarchy that is generative but not dominative; and an agile network of self-organizing teams and distributed leaders that is purposeful and not chaotic.
Discover how to become a Transformational Organization today so you forge the future--rather than fail it.
