Reinventing the Organization: How Companies Can Deliver Radically Greater Value in Fast-Changing Markets

by Arthur Yeung, Dave Ulrich Narrated by Steve Menasche

Overview

Your Company Isn't Fast Enough. Here's How to Change That.



The traditional hierarchical organization is dead, but what replaces it? Numerous new models-the agile organization, the networked organization, and holacracy, to name a few-have emerged, but leaders need to know what really works. How do you build an organization that is responsive to fast-changing markets? What kind of organization delivers both speed and scale, and how do you lead it?



Arthur Yeung and Dave Ulrich provide leaders with a much-needed blueprint for reinventing the organization. Based on their in-depth research at leading Chinese, US, and European firms such as Alibaba, Amazon, DiDi, Facebook, Google, Huawei, Supercell, and Tencent, and drawing from their synthesis of the latest organization research and practice, Yeung and Ulrich explain how to build a new kind of organization (a "market-oriented ecosystem") that responds to changing market opportunities with speed and scale. While other books address individual pieces of the puzzle, Reinventing the Organization offers a practical, integrated, six-step framework and looks at all the decisions leaders need to make-choosing the right strategies, capabilities, structure, culture, management tools, and leadership-to deliver radically greater value in fast-moving markets.
