The Future of Work: Avoid Fragility, Embrace Agility
Is your organization geared up to manage, master, and transform the ways work and the workplace has been changing?
Corporate Agility outlines a new model for competing in a flat world. Corporate Agility: A Revolutionary New Model for Competing in a Flat World was written by Charles E. Grantham, James P. Ware, and Cory Williamson.
Does your workplace produce a meaningful sense of self-control? From the book website:
We began with a presumption that, as population growth slowed and the baby boomers moved towards retirement, the workplace would become an increasingly important means of attracting and retaining talented workers. We knew from personal experience and our own previous research that talented people wanted - no, demanded - a great deal of personal control over their work, and that traditional, top-down, one-size-fits-all management and cube farms don’t exactly produce any meaningful sense of self-control.

To avoid our organizations becoming fragile we must become more agile. I encourage you to investigate the work of Grantham, Ware, and Williamson on how organizations can heighten their agility.
