"You've certainly heard the term 'digital transformation'. Yet
being more 'digital' or collecting more data won't get you very far
if there aren't methods and tools to better inform the management
process. Data Driven Organization Design 2nd Edition renews its
focus on the most important asset of any organization: its people.
It covers everything you need to easily master the concepts,
leverage the data, communicate effectively, and successfully make
the positive changes necessary to adopt a data-driven organization
design."
*Stéphane Hamel, Academic Advisor, Faculty of Business
Administration, Laval University*
"As technology continues to automate work and radically change
business models, organization design has become one of the biggest
issues on the minds of CEOs. Rupert's book Data-Driven Organization
Design is a comprehensive bible on this important topic, and I
recommend it for all HR and business leaders."
*Josh Bersin, Global Industry Analyst*
"We live in a constantly changing world. The pace of change is just
going to increase and is now a constant that we all need to live
and work with. To be successful in this environment, businesses
need to be able to adapt their own operating model, organization
design and people strategy not only to respond to these changes,
but to pre-empt them. Key to being able to do this is having access
to live data that can help inform the changes that could be made,
quickly identify the business benefit of doing so and equally the
implications of not doing them. An organization then needs the
tools and the culture to make the required changes at pace, taking
into consideration the people impact. This book is a must-read for
those looking to enhance their business (and people)
performance."
*Annette Andrews, Interim Group Chief People Officer, Impellam
Group*
"Anyone leading or planning to lead a large business, or who has
led a large business in the past does eventually learn how vital to
an organization it is to have clear strategy, role design and
accountabilities. Rupert connects theory and practice in an
accessible way. He has a unique perspective having been a student
of the theory, and crucially, having lived through the practice.
More important than culture, strategy, finance or marketing, is the
way in which senior management in a business structure, plan,
organize and effectively manage their most valuable asset, their
colleagues."
*Ian Kantor, Founder of Investec*
"Ever wondered about how to approach designing an organization to
get the right people in the right place with the right skills doing
the right work in the right way? If so then this richly informative
book is for you. With high energy, infectious enthusiasm and vast
knowledge, Rupert Morrison shows how good data, thoughtful analysis
of it, and careful implementation of the insights it yields,
provide the bedrock for design success."
*Naomi Stanford, Organization Design Author and Consultant*
"Brilliant. There's a well-thumbed copy of the first edition of
Data-Driven Organization Design on my bookshelf, and this timely
update by one of the genuine thought leaders in our field provides
a masterful template for HR leaders looking to drive innovation and
value to their business. If you are looking to turn organizational
design theory into practice - and align it to data - then this is
the book for you."
*David Green, co-author of Excellence in People Analytics, Managing
Partner at Insight222 and host of the Digital HR Leaders
Podcast*
"Every organization has a Financial Planning & Analysis capability.
Until Data Driven Organization Design, I had found it impossible to
get ahead of the ever-changing organization. The concepts,
practices, and visualizations in this book convinced me that
organizational planning is possible and that we can analyze,
design, and plan organizations to meet their objectives."
*Ana Coronel, VP Organization, Transformation & Global Services at
IGT*
"In a world filled with uncertainty, Data-Driven Organization
Design is a welcome resource for HR executives who care about
building the right organizational structure to compete and win.
Rupert offers a framework for identifying the real challenges in
organizations, gives clarity to the ambiguity of aligning human
behaviour, and lays out solutions that are both actionable and
measurable. If you feel like your business has stagnated or your
people are not bringing their best thinking to work, this book will
give you new insights to reimagine your organizational structure in
a way that allows it to evolve with market conditions, adapt with
new talent and ideas, and ultimately thrive - a goal on every CEO's
wish list."
*Beau River, Partner at Vantage Leadership Consulting and Adjunct
Lecturer at Northwestern University’s Masters of Science in
Learning and Organizational Change*
"It is about time we shift our thinking from static organization
structures to dynamic systems. A must-read if you are looking for a
practical guide to understand how different parts of the
organization continuously confluence together to drive business
outcomes."
*Shradha Prakash, VP, Future of Work, Org Design and Talent
Enablement at Prudential Financial*
"This book is the compendium of exceptional ideas with impact. By
connecting the six components of an organization with data,
organizations will continue to deliver value to all stakeholders.
Thorough, timely, and relevant!"
