New ways to manage change and to compete in
a rapidly changing business world are emerging under the concept
of the agile enterprise. Agile is not the same as lean and mean.
Agile organizations can be almost any size but what distinguishes
them from their lumbering traditional business counterparts is
the ability to read the environment and to react quickly. They
can also be "virtual," meaning they can reconfigure
themselves quickly and temporarily in response to a challenge,
but then dissolve or transmute themselves into something else.
Goranson explains how they do this and how your own organization
can do it too. With fascinating case studies and a unique metric,
Goranson provides insightful and timely answers. The result is
essential reading for management at almost any level within every
type of organization. |
