Riassunto

'Leading on the Edge of Chaos' spiegelt die nächste Stufe der Managementidee wider: Wie agiert man in einem Stadium "ständiger Turbulenz". Dieses Buch geht über die Frage "Wie geht man mit Veränderungen um?" hinaus. Es zeigt, wie Organisationen handeln müssen angesichts eines beständigen Wandels. Conner ist Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender von ODR, einer Consultingfirma, die Unternehmen bei der Einführung weitreichender Veränderungen unterstützt. Er fordert "flexible" Organisationen als das einzig wirksame Mittel, um in der heutigen Zeit wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Der Schlüssel zu mehr Flexibilität heißt, sich rasch an veränderte Marktbedingungen anzupassen und gleichzeitig Überprüfungsphasen einzuführen, in denen ermittelt wird, wie gut sich Mitarbeiter auf Veränderungen einstellen können.

Dalla quarta di copertina

"Gone are the days when innovations and new ventures were incremental in scope and sequential in nature. In their place is 'perpetual unrest,' unending, fundamental changes." -Daryl Conner In his 1993 classic, Managing at the Speed of Change, Daryl Conner showed managers how to implement business innovations on time and under budget. In this groundbreaking new book, he shows them how to ride the whirlwind. The tempo of change has sped up to a dizzying pace over the past few years. Globalization, rapid-fire technological innovation, and mounting pressure for shareholder value have pushed the markets into a state of ceaseless turmoil. What was cutting-edge change management theory just five years ago now seems naive. Success amidst such a maelstrom of change calls for much more than what change management models have to offer. It calls for a radically new kind of organization, nimble enough to adapt instantly to changing market conditions, and piloted by leaders versed in the art of Leading at the Edge of Chaos. This book is not about decision making; it is about execution. It is not about predicting change; it is about adapting to it at a moment's notice. Internationally renowned "Change Doctor" Daryl Conner defines the new roles that all leaders must assume in order to direct the changes that are crucial to their organizations' survival. He schools them in all of the essential components of the change process. And, most importantly, he arms them with action steps for instilling their companies with the nimbleness and resilience needed to survive and thrive in today's supervolatile markets. Conner also introduces the revolutionary concept of human due diligence-the human equivalent of financial due diligence and an indispensable tool for orchestrating major enterprisewide transitions. Strategic, results-oriented, and proactive, human due diligence focuses on people's capacity to absorb change as a limited resource, and offers tools for ensuring that there is sufficient capacity available to face the next challenge-and the many others sure to follow.
