Wiring the Winning Organization: Liberating Our Collective Greatness through Slowification, Simplification, and Amplification
By Steven J. Spear, senior lecturer in system dynamics at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Gene Kim
IT Revolution · 2023
Organizations succeed when they design their processes, routines, and procedures to encourage employees to problem-solve and contribute to a common purpose. DevOps, Lean, and Agile got us part of the way. Now with "Wiring the Winning Organization," Spear and Kim introduce a new theory of organizational management: Organizations win by using three mechanisms to slowify, simplify, and amplify, which systematically moves problem-solving from high-risk danger zones to low-risk winning zones.
From Summer 2024 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News). Cover image via Google Books.
