Alive

Our world is a rich and dynamic environment in which life moves through seasons and evolves over time. Our political, societal and economic life is permeated with major trends and movements affecting our lives and societies.

This original book offers an alternative to this stalemate through a fundamental shift in mindset. Organizations, like people, need to be seen as living, evolving organisms resulting in different ways of structuring and leading companies. The is based on a human-centred model of organization that encompasses Purpose, Mind, Body and Soul – reflecting the nature of the people who make up the company The book begins with organizational purpose and values – asking the reader “Why are you in business?” From there, the book goes on to show how this is brought to life through an aligned strategy and capability (Mind), living structures and dynamic ways of working (Body) and new mindset/culture (Soul).
