Drawing on her intensive consulting experience with such organizations as Johnson & Johnson, Xerox, Ford, and 3M Company, Jill Janov explores how these and other companies are making the transition to high-performance, inventive organizations where self-regulation, interdependence, and partnerships will be the rule. Janov shows how any organization that hopes to thrive in to the next century can learn to develop the fundamental blocks to inventiveness: give attention to customer needs; focus on core work; practice living organizational values; think systemically; promote self-regulation; build and support interdependence; and understand leading as guiding the introduction of the machine and following as pursuing common cause.
Janov offers inspiration, frameworks, and practical applications for executives, managers, and organization consultants who are facing the fundamental challenges in organizations today: how to sustain success in a constantly changing global economy, how to redesign work processes for optimal effectiveness, and the way to realign roles and relationships as flattened hierarchies necessitate self-regulation throughout the whole organization.
