Excellent book on enterprise design. . "To achieve high performance an organisation must be aligned and adaptable to changing circumstances. Getting to this state takes specific skills and knowledge, especially as the redesign of an enterprise must be carried out while making sure that the day-to-day operations do not suffer. Using many real company examples, this guide looks at methods of thinking clearly about the reasons for wanting to change - and then working out the best ways of getting from A to B successfully. In doing so it stresses that organisation design work is a fundamental process and not just a repair job."--Jacket.
