About this title

Synopsis

Offers a corporate organizational plan for responding swiftly to changing business demands

Reviews

Fradette and Michaud are both partners at "Big Six" consulting giant Deloitte & Touche. Here they offer their perspective on today's corporation. Their "kinetic" corporation shares many characteristics with the widely touted "virtual" corporation, and many of their remedies for dysfunctional organizations--collaboration, the encouragement of risk taking, flattened hierarchies, and rapid response--are already familiar ones. What sets the authors apart is their assertion that change is not only inevitable but also unpredictable. Based on work with the likes of Kinko's, Microsoft, and the U.S. Army, they design a corporate model that can readily respond to as well as benefit from both unpredictable market opportunities and unpredictable customer demands. Fradette and Michaud identify five separate paths that must be traveled concurrently to reach their "kinetic future": creating new leadership, building the right workforce, designing for instant action, igniting customer events, and igniting market events. David Rouse

Even though you can't predict the future, you can anticipate change and "be ready for whatever it may bring." The authors offer their "kinetic enterprise" concept as a dynamic corporate model that would allow managers and companies to both cope with change and benefit from it as well.
