Organizing Toward Agility

The way we think about organizations is wrong. Completely wrong.

The traditional business—one made up of departments, steered by management, and operated based on a fixed playbook—is based on concepts that are more than a hundred years old. As a result, most companies are built to meet the needs of the industrial age, not our current age of uncertainty.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Organizing Toward Agility offers a new path forward: a team-centric, iterative approach to delivering value using customer feedback and continuous experimentation. This book will help you set up and operate new organizing structures, whether you want to make a larger organizational change or move your business forward incrementally.

With his practical tools and real-world examples, agile expert Jeff Anderson builds on decades of experience in enterprise-scale business transformation to help you shift the way you work. A must-read handbook for change agents of all types, Organizing Toward Agility will teach you how to design, grow, and operate organizations that can thrive in today’s complex world.
