The improvement worked. That is the problem. In most organizations there is at least one object that somebody made. A piece of cardboard taped beside a monitor. A wooden block with a notch in it. A spreadsheet one person built and has maintained for eleven years, that nobody asked for, that four departments now depend on. Nobody authorized it. It appears in no documentation. And it works. This book is about one of them: a plywood board with four columns of pegs, made by a machinist with nineteen years in one plant, thrown out at the end of a three-day improvement event that did everything ...

Succession Planning Is Not an Afterthought reframes succession planning as a leadership discipline, not an HR formality. Artemis Ellis explores why organizations mistake reliability for resilience...

Share looks at how new business models are being created based on the disruptive idea of ‘sharing’. Uber, Airbnb, Skype, Alibaba, Google, Netflix and WeChat (China’s answer to Whatsapp) are all based on the sharing of information, assets and human capital, and a new and dynamic economy is already emerging. Traditional consumer and industrial models of Western capitalism are having to adapt to the ‘sharing’ concept, but few traditional organisations seem to understand the implications of the ‘share’ mindset for how they operate and compete.

Fast technological development and worldwide operation integrations had imposed a strong pressure on modern companies to stay competitive, continually producing positive business results and reporting profit to the shareholders. To achieve these goals, firms had to constantly improve operations.

Thus, the management frequently opted for strategies, seemingly opposite to the internal knowledge ...
