Change - the rule rather than the exception in organizational survival and success. But what is the inside story? How have companies like AT&T, Corning, Lever, Weyerhauser, and Xerox successfully managed to transform the way they operate? How have CEOs and managers created change-adaptive organizations that deliver sustainable competitive advantage?
In Discontinuous Change, authors David A. Nadler, Robert B. Shaw, A. Elise Walton, and their colleagues share their insights into the dynamics of organizational transformation and offer a diagnostic framework for leading organizations through periods of radical change. They explore the practical lessons learned from collaborating with their internationally renowned clients to bring about lasting and fundamental organizational transformation, providing a useful set of "field-tested" concepts and techniques for anyone seeking to promote change. In-depth interviews with such key corporate change leaders as Bob Allen of AT&T and Jamie Houghton of Corning, Inc. provide valuable insight and firsthand advice on the role CEOs and leadership teams can play in organizational transformation.
