Hope you had a chance to see us at OD Network Conference 2008
(October, Austin TX) presenting: "A Visual Language and Framework for
Organization Design and Diagnosis." The turnout was
excellent and the response gratifying ("loved it,"
"brilliant," "powerful and captivating").
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. To order,

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