About this title

Synopsis

Peter Scott-Morgan, author of the best-selling, The Unwritten Rules of the Game, and his colleagues at Arthur D. Little have discovered that Fortune 500 companies are currently spending twice their profits on change initiatives; yet they are only satisfied with half the results. The obvious question is “How can we stop this?” The paradigm–shifting answer, based on a six year study of Fortune 500 companies, is: concentrate on maximizing stability within a changing environment—don’t fixate on change. This book explains how by developing the six competencies needed to achieve dynamic stability—the management stabilizers of strategy, tactics, operations, and the enabling stabilizers of teamwork, quality, and communication—companies can avoid being swamped by the disruption of unending turbulence.
