Networked, Scaled, and Agile

Beschreibung

Enable your employees to work laterally and make faster, better decisions by designing an organization that can respond to the business challenges of balancing global integration with local relevance and digital transformation across the company.
While technology and geopolitical forces change the face of business today, the patterns and challenges of organizing humans to work together across organization, culture, language and time zone boundaries remain. To face these challenges, all organizations need to be agile, networked and scalable. Networked, Scaled, and Agile reveals how to shape organizations that will enable people to make faster and better decisions in a more complex world. By outlining the tension between the need for agility/differentiation and scale/integration, the book offers a new way to think about this debate using the models of the Tower (vertical integration) and the Square (horizontal integration). It addresses the role of the leadership team and how the organization design process can build C-suite leaders and successors. Each chapter concludes with a series of reflection questions for leaders as well as a summary of key concepts and tips. Including case studies from global organizations, Networked, Scaled, and Agile reveals how organization design can address three of the biggest business challenges organizations face today: how to build a new capability across the entire enterprise; how to make the entire organization more customer-centric; and how to allow for faster innovation.
Includes examples from global companies going through transformation as well as high growth challengers
Outlines how organization design can help mature companies better embrace and connect digital capabilities, and how fast-growth companies can mature and scale a culture that was effective for a start-up but is now facing new competition
Conveys contemporary concepts around organization design in practical, accessible language
