Technologies and values crave are inversely proportional. Given the spike in technological crave, organizational values decline with measurable impact on every aspect of the organization, including the customers, stakeholders, and employees. This trend reoccurs in organizational development cycles because, while organic solutions are uniquely higher in aim, organizations continue to aim low and celebrate low hanging goals.
Form. Agility. Speed.: Mastering Organizational Form is a juxtaposition of organizational performance akin to an athlete.
It is the premier athletic organization metaphor written to help readers navigate the complexities of organizational response to development and design in the age of technology and values. We focus on middle management upon their mandate to reinvent molecular organizations whose athletic performance converts behavioral mechanisms to sustainable wins.
Organizations launch the campaign for speed to market as they lose their potential position in the market. Less than 5% of market share losers recognize that their potential market position is not simply realizable nor recoverable upon the mission to increase their speed to market. The speed-to-market reaction is the sign that your organization is grappling to survive, your organization is short of breath, and gasping for oxygen.
After the speed-to-market campaign, stifling organizations react with cost cutting, systems and workforce reduction for operational ease. The evidence is everywhere including today's United States federal unemployment ratio of 3.9. The evidence of suboptimal decisions unequivocally results in the sacrifice of form - doing the right thing wrong. Whereas form, they say is everything in fitness.
Your organization's potential market position depends on the form of your business and how your organization's form enables balance and agility without loss of rhythm (can't breathe) in market events and market cycles. Form, balance, and agility will as a result of routine exercise or form programs, work together to enable the desired speed to market as described in this easy-to-read and easy-to-understand book.
We stipulate therefore, that organizational form much like the athletic form, followed by agility before speed to market is a more logical sequence, intertwined with the context of biopsychology for an athletic organization to exercise its molecular efficiencies and maintain a winning posture in dynamic markets.
Written for middle management, particularly Portfolio Managers, Product Managers, Agile Practitioners, and Program and Project Managers in business and Information Technology, including hiring managers.
