Synopsis

<STRONG>Document your leadership vision, then transform your organization into it... <BR> <I>and leave the legacy of an organization that performs brilliantly now and long after you've moved on.</I></STRONG><BR> <BR> If you're a transformational leader, this is your handbook. It has it all: <BR> <UL> <LI> A detailed vision (blueprint) of the end-state operating model -- to help you craft and communicate your own vision. <LI> All the mechanics -- solid principles of design, and clear frameworks to help you design your organization in a fact-based manner. <LI> Implementation processes -- participative processes that engage your leadership team in designing your organization. <LI> A case study. <LI> Perspectives on key leadership issues -- scalability, innovation, acquisitions integration, digital business, and leadership. <LI> A book summary (akin to Cliff's Notes ®). </UL><BR> <BR> From two foundational principles -- internal entrepreneurship, and empowerment -- Meyer derives every detail of how organizations of all types and sizes should work. This "Market Organization" is a comprehensive blueprint of a high-performing organization. Paradoxically, it's common sense, and yet it's also profound. <BR> <BR> The Market Organization applies to all industries, including government and not-for-profits. <BR> <BR> It applies to organizations of all sizes and stages of growth, starting with ventures where it can build scalable organizations with mature processes while retaining their entrepreneurial spirit, on up to multi-nationals where it breaks the paradox of localization and global synergies. <BR> <BR> And this operating model applies to departments (such as IT) as well as entire companies. Throughout this book, the word "organization" refers to either an entire enterprise, or a department within it. <BR> <BR> To implement that vision, this book provides the tool-kit: organizational structure; resource-governance processes; culture; and metrics. For each of these "programmable" organizational systems, it provides clear principles and comprehensive frameworks. <BR> <BR> It also provides step-by-step implementation processes that you can use to drive organizational transformations. Incorporating the fundamentals of change-management, they're designed to engage your leadership team, tap their collective wisdom, build their deep understanding, and gain their buy-in. <BR> <BR> While organizational design can easily get complex and academic, this book is none of that. It explains how things work in a straightforward manner, and its conversational approach makes this content-rich book an easy read. <BR> <BR> If you are a visionary leader or are interested in developing a high-performing organization, this book can be your inspiration as well as your pragmatic guide.
