The Power of Organisation: Enabling Managers to Coordinate Actions That Produce Extraordinary Innovation and Results for the Intelligence Era and Beyond (Stories From The Edge)

The Power of Organisation is the first business management book in a series comprising seven books, each one aimed at highlighting a different aspect of organisation design. Both the challenge and the opportunity faced by business organisations today have never been greater, and the current leadership and management theory is inadequate to resolve the paradox that exists.

Whilst this is a strategy book, it mainly sets out an easy-to-follow framework that leads to action. The authors' purpose in writing this book for you is to help you dramatically improve the performance of your business in the direction you want to take it and make work a consistently worthwhile experience for all.

Their intention is that this book will provide you with the thinking, tools and approaches to develop the leadership and management technology that you will require to bring your vision into reality. They promise, by the end of this book, you will be able to tap into the power of organisation and the source of its energy. They will give you the processes to be the champion, define your strategic intent and be capable of building a truly human social organisation to bring your vision into reality and deliver extraordinary innovation and results.

This important series, written by two of the most highly respected authors in their field, will bring new impetus and new focus on the way that organisations can be developed for maximum effectiveness.

The business world, from the largest corporations to the newest startups, is faced with a mind-boggling paradox. How can they maintain control of their business whilst at the same time giving their people the freedom to be truly innovative? It is a paradox that started with the industrial revolution and one that has been renewed by the influence of the pandemic. The secret lies within organisation itself, not the entity, but the coordination of action that leads to positive human connection, surprise and outstanding results.
