Omschrijving

Building Adaptive Organisations is a practical guide for thriving in an era characterised by volatility, complexity, and rapid technological change. It argues that the 300-year-old closed system, designed for stability and control, is not fit for purpose for the demands of Industry 4.0 and the changing workplace. The outdated pyramidal enterprise has bred disengaged workforces, out-of-touch leaders, and cultures that collapse under constant disruption.

The book presents a compelling alternative that transforms organisations into self-organising, emergent ecosystems. Blending industrial-revolution history, organisational theory, original models, and case studies, it demonstrates how to ingrain adaptability into the heart of systems and culture. Building Adaptive Organisations argues that enduring adaptability will never come from top-down leadership, isolated agile initiatives, complicated nested circles, mindset shifts, or cultural makeovers. Instead, it requires reconfiguring the five system levers that drive adaptability: culture, design, technology, people, and process. In practice, this means building an adaptive culture system across the organisation's architecture; designing modular structures with self-organising governance and flexible workflows; integrating digital transformation into the organisation's core operations; enabling people strategies that support adaptive workforces; and implementing transformational change as a shared, emergent, enterprise-wide endeavour.

Offering clear concepts, tools, and pathways, this book equips system leaders and organisational designers to build adaptive, responsive organisations capable of navigating the turbulence of Industry 4.0 and an increasingly unpredictable world.
