Outstanding!
Everytime I open this book I learn something powerful to help make sense of the organizational environment around me.The book has a huge price, but it also offers huge value.

An Essential Compendium for the Serious Strategist

Passages from Control to Entrepreneurial Freedom.
William E. Halal, editor, writes, "This book brings together the views of prominent leaders in the trenches of the Information Revolution to examine the revolutionary new principles for managing knowledge. Here's a quick overview of these confusing but exciting management heresies. Excellent Multi-disciplinarian Approach
There are far too many books out there that focus on 'knowledge' as if it existed in a vacuum. These tend to be one person's opinion; a single 'flavor of the month,' if you will. This collection of essays explores theimpact that the free sharing of information will have: changes inmanagement, changes in employee relations, changes in the free enterprisesystem itself.As an unforeseen bonus, a very few of the articles are nowa bit dated (the "Information Superhighway" article by the CEO ofBell Atlantic was doomed to be old as it was penned), a fact that onlyreinforces the tremedous speed of change many of the essayists speak to. The many references provide one the ability to more deeply research aparticular area.

Ok but not the best
Read The Complexity Advantage by Susanne Kelly and Mary Ann Allison it's a better book. Or better still check out the reviews before you buy.

TEACH YOUR COMPANY TO PREPARE, ADAPT, AND CHANGE FASTER
I am a believer that organizational systems share much with biologicalsystems.This idea struck me on the head the first time I visited theGalapagos.That trip made it clear that adaptation can occur very quicklyand that more than one form of adaptation can occur in different directionsat the same time, based on the environments that exist.I am also remindedof research that I recently read suggesting that we cannot accept orremember new ideas if we have not had previous experience with them.Thatis why it becomes so critical to prepare for change, to ask questions frommany different perspectives to create ambiguity, and to present manydifferent environments or alternate futures to create unpredictability. OPEN BOUNDARIES is a great book to read after THE LIVING COMPANY whichdescribes how scenario planning was developed and why Shell was the onlycompany prepared to do well during the Arab oil embargo.Complexitythinking really succeeds when you find a win-win solution - you will comeout ahead no matter what happens.Another book you should look at thatuses eight steps (revolving, not linear) to develop the best possible idealpractices for key activities assuming unpredictability of many things isTHE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION.With these three, you are well on your way toremoving the stalls blocking OPEN BOUNDARIES to become THE LIVING COMPANYand to reach THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTIONS for future success

A R-Evolutionary Book
This book clarified views which I knew were correct, but lacked structure.Their view of business, as a biological system where innovation and progress occurs through the spontaneous interactions of individuals andgroups, is a tremendous asset to anyone who values dynamic processes andthinking. ...

Organizational Learning Made Easy
The learning organization is one of those terms that people like to use but often really don't know what it means. Well now help is here! Look no further than The Manager's Pocket Guide to Organizational Learning. In fact, I had been looking for such a book when happily I came across this one. And it's a delight. Author Stephen Gill boils the concepts down into neat, easily and easily actionable ideas. Gill, a noted consultant with three decades worth of experience, creates a tripartite prism for coming to grips with organizational learning: individual, team, and whole organization. After deftly explaining that while learning begins with individuals, it is the application of that learning as it spreads to groups and whole organizations that gives rise to organizational learning. Learning, as Gill states, is imperative for organizations to grow and thrive.Read more
