Organisational theory & behaviour
A fundamental rethink of how companies should be organized and led for success today.

Our world is a rich and dynamic environment in which life moves through seasons and evolves over time. Our political, societal and economic life is permeated with major trends and movements affecting our lives and societies. However, in companies, this level of external disruption has been addressed through relatively conventional and static ways of organizing.

This original book offers an alternative to this stalemate through a fundamental shift in mindset. Organizations, like people, need to be seen as living, evolving organisms resulting in different ways of structuring and leading companies. The book is based on a living model of organization that is aligned with a clear Purpose expressed through physical, emotional and cognitive capabilities – reflecting the people who make up our companies!

The book begins with organizational purpose and values – asking the reader “Why are you in business?” From there, it goes on to show how this is brought to life through an aligned strategy and capability (Cognitive), living structures and dynamic ways of working (Physical) and new mindset and culture (Emotional). The reader is shown how to make this change a reality through creating an organizational change movement reaching “critical mass”.

Powerful and detailed examples are included throughout such as Nissan, Apple, Haier, Buurtzorg, the Hoxby Collective, ChildFund International (humanitarian), FAVI Automotive, Barack Obama's campaign organisation, a global oil and gas firm and an international Accountancy Firm. Application exercises and a summary of key chapter points allow the reader to immediately apply the insights to their own business.
