"Where there is
no vision, there is no hope."
George Washington
Carver
Continuous, deep, and disruptive change
is no longer the exception but the norm. Having a vision that transcends
this fray is more important yet more challenging than ever. Such a
vision 1) begins with Sight
- seeing what is really
happening, 2) deepens into Insight
- understanding how
and why this is happening, and 3) crystallizes into Foresight
- anticipating future developments, possibilities, and paths
forward. Kampas Research empowers individuals and organizations to develop
superior
Sight, Insight,
and Foresight with
visually elegant, deeply penetrating frameworks and methods applied in a step-by-step
manner. Delivery is available via books (see below) as well as training, coaching,
and consulting (see offerings to left).
 
Hope you got a chance to see us at OD Network Conference 2008
(October, Austin) presenting: "A Visual Language and Framework for
Organization Design and Diagnosis."
Outstanding performers Toyota, IKEA,
Southwest, FedEx, and the
New England Patriots (football team)
are in vastly different businesses but have
one thing in common -- their system is the star. The winning formula
in today's most successful businesses
is no longer a few star individuals or
products that produce flashes of success, but a star organizational system.
To create a star
organization, leaders must begin to see
and think like architects, holistically designing
and integrating their organization's many components into a high-fit
system
tailored to its target market. Essential to this
challenging task are a whole system design process, principles, framework, and toolset. Beautifully
illustrated in full-color,
Mastering
Organizational Architecture
(2007),
provides these design resources
along with numerous examples and case studies. To look inside, click on the
cover graphic.

Who should
read it? Senior and mid-level managers, strategic planners, HR and OD managers and
consultants, management consultants, MBA faculty and students.
