An entirely fresh approach to managing in a changing world It's a fast=moving, cyber-linked, overcommunicated world out there these days. Change seems to happen much more rapidly and with far less predictability. It's no wonder the store shelves are crammed with books for beleaguered managers who are desperately trying to navigate through this torrent of change. This one is different from the rest. Here is a book that shows you how to turn your organization into one that continually meets the challenges of change, in a business world strewn with the survivors of yesterday's fads. The Accelerating Organization features the cutting-edge, experience-tested principles being taught by Arthur D. Little and Innovation Associates. It's not another take on reengineering nor a rewarmed learning organization tome. It's the best of both methods--and a whole lot more. Learn how you can: refocus strategic goals and galvanize for never-ending change; Get to know your organization's unwritten rules and use them to gain leverage; Change policies and structures simultaneously, while avoiding performance disruption; Make your people the agents of change, not its victims; Instill a continuous learning mindset aimed at sustaining high performance. Accessible and practical, this whole new approach to managing in an ever-changing world provides you with the knowledge and tools to ensure that your organization is flexible, nimble, and ready to handle whatever might come next.--.--.be it a minor tremor or a seismic shift.

People are any organization's principal enablers or disablers of change. Not processes. Not technology. That's the uncomplicated - some would say radical - premise at the heart of this book. And it will show you how pragmatically embracing the human face of change not only generates results and improves performance but also builds an accelerating organization that thrives in a world in which rapid and unpredictable change has become the norm. Based on the far-reaching and forward-thinking curriculum of the executive education programs being conducted by Arthur D. Little and Innovation Associates, The Accelerating Organization offers a balanced, holistic approach to managing change that recognizes the vital importance of intelligently designed structures ... and of the capacity of people to learn and respond effectively to whatever happens.
