Effectiveness Edge

You can’t fix problems if you don’t understand them.You wouldn't go swimming in the sea without assessing the currents or tides, right? Yet as a CEO you’re expected to jump right in and fix issues quickly, despite the fact that both your organization and the world around you are more complex and disrupted than ever before. The result? Expediency rather than effectiveness, the illusion of progress rather than real change. Hidden costs continue to drag you down. Your organization remains, let’s face it, ineffective.The solution? Organization Effectiveness. The 3D-OE Diagnostic Framework gives you a step-by-step approach that reveals what's going on – up, down and around your organization – one level of complexity at a time.It allows you to see systemic issues clearly, make sense of the dynamics of the organization and cut through the complexity. Which makes it easier for people to get their work done, and allows you to realize cost benefits faster.With helpful case studies, a comprehensive diagnostic tool and clear examples for putting the theory into practice, this is the essential leaders' resource to unlock productivity, performance and profitability.
