Making a Difference: Strategies and Real Time Models to Transform Your Organisation

Organizations are facing a tidal wave of global economic, technological, and social change. To survive, they cannot rely on innovation alone; the change must be fundamental. By reworking its structure, any company can better engage the energy, creativity, and intelligence of its workforce - and profit considerably. This book is for any businessperson who wants organizational change. It provides the tools and support for challenging tradition and implementing visionary goals. And the author's "real time management development" concept encourages learning by doing - providing an improved method of transformation.
