Some additional opinions about this book.
Here are what some other early reviewers have said about Adaptive Enterprise: *****'Adaptive Enterprise is a must read for anyone whose firm is under technological attack. Its useful insights will be essential for both corporate executives and entrepreneurs who wish to understand the differences between the sense-and-respond business model of today's digital economy and the traditional make-and-sell approach.' --George H. Conrades, Chairman and CEO Akamai Technologies, Inc. and Partner, Polaris Venture Partners *****'Adaptive Enterprise is that rarest of business books that is rooted deeply in intellectual theory and at the same time offers critical advice for the practice of management. Understanding the principles articulated in Adaptive Enterprise will be the top priority of any business leader who wishes to survive—let alone prosper—in the emerging information economy.' --Rashi Glazer, Professor and co-Director, Center for Marketing and Technology, Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley *****'Steve Haeckel takes the 'sense and respond' and 'managing by wire' concepts to a new level of precision and practicality.' --Pierre Hessler, Executive Board Member, Cap Gemini Group *****'At last, a theoretical framework that helps companies understand their business and strategic choices in times when the old rules no longer apply. Adaptive Enterprise provides a practical handbook for business leaders who are serious about improving the future profitability of their companies. I wish I had had it years ago to use as part of my armory.' --Reg Munro, Executive General Manager, Old Mutual, South Africa *****'If you think you know what your future will be, this book is of little value. If, however, you are realistic about the future of your company, Adaptive Enterprise is of inestimable value!' --Vince Barabba, General Manager, Strategy and Knowledge Development, General Motors Corporation *****'Read Adaptive Enterprise to learn about the new fundamentals for designing and managing organizations. Stephan Haeckel's conceptual framework for a sense-and-respond organization is concrete, clear, and highly applicable to today's needs.' --Chris Argyris, James B. Conant Professor, Harvard University *****'Steve Haeckel has given new meaning to the idea of customer focus. Effective strategies will presume continuously changing customer priorities.' --Gordon Wyner, Vice President, Mercer Management Consulting *****'Adaptive Enterprise is an important and well-written contribution to the management literature. In an age where the only certainty is rapid, unpredictable change, Haeckel offers an intelligent, powerful presentation of the customer-driven, sense-and-respond organization necessary for an enterprise to survive.'--Frederick E. Webster, Jr., Charles Henry Jones Third Century Professor of Management, The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration *****'Adaptive Enterprise is an excellent resource for business leaders who need to improve their firm's capabilities to anticipate and respond to rapidly changing external conditions. By providing the framework, examples, and leadership requirements, Adaptive Enterprise will help executives develop their sense-and-respond organization.' --H. Paul Root, Director, Knight Ridder Center for Excellence in Management, Florida *****'Stephan Haeckel offers a fresh perspective on leadership, accountability, and commitment.' --Arvin F. Mueller, Vice President, General Motors *****'Adaptive Enterprise provides the clearest and simplest set of tools necessary for a long company life.' --Peter Schwartz, Chairman, Global Business Network

Steve Haeckel is an executive coach and the author of books and articles on the design and management of adaptive enterprises. He is past Chairman of the Marketing Science Institute, and was Director of Strategic Studies at IBM. His IBM career included responsibilities as a marketing executive in Europe and as the futurist on IBM’s corporate staff. In 2003, Haeckel became an Advisor to the Office of Force Transformation’s flagship project “Sense & Respond Logistics” in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, where Sense & Respond was called “a game-changer.” He served on the panel of judges for the McKinsey Awards, which recognize the two best articles published each year in the Harvard Business Review. In 2012 he received the DSC Logistics Thinkers and Movers Award. Haeckel named, developed and pioneered the adaptive managerial principles of "Sense and Respond." He introduced this term in a 1992 business journal, and in a 1993 Harvard Business Review article. “Adaptive enterprise,” “sense and respond”, “manage by wire,” and “customer-back” are now part of the business vocabulary. His book, Adaptive Enterprise, provides organizational leaders with a comprehensive framework for adaptiveness, introducing post-industrial principles for business strategy, structure and governance. It has been reprinted multiple times in several languages, and is the basis for successful classes and workshops in individual firms and at leading business schools. Other publications have appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, Planning Review, Long Range Planning, Marketing Management Magazine, The IBM Systems Journal, and The Journal of Interactive Marketing. www.senseandrespond.com is a repository for additions to Sense & Respond intellectual capital. "Adaptive Enterprise: The Workbook," published in 2016, contains implementation examples, learnings and tools developed by implementers since 1999. Haeckel has engineering and MBA degrees from Washington University in St. Louis.
