We are in an era of high volatility and uncertain outcomes, driven
by accelerating technologies, shortened product cycles,
fast-changing information, an increasingly mobile workforce, more
demanding customers, complex financial markets, ad-hoc public
policies, and many other factors that add layers of uncertainty to
all future possibilities. While most believe that good management
requires better prediction of the future and better planning, Gill
Eapen instead contends that the best way to manage effectively in
an uncertain world is through the conscious application of
flexibility - an ability to absorb constantly shifting variables
and adapt quickly. Flexibility: Flexible Companies for the
Uncertain World explores ways in which organizations can
systematically enhance their ability to survive and succeed without
the guarantees that come with certainty. In these pages, Eapen
details: Specific attributes of status-quo organizations that
hinder their capacity for flexibility in their three primary
components: structure, systems, and strategies A tool and process
for diagnosing flexibility-related problems within an organization
Specific actions companies can take to improve flexibility,
regardless of their size or age A case study of a technology
company progressively losing flexibility due to management actions,
as well as a detailed project plan for remedial actions Based on
the author's years of experience working with a variety of
industries, including life sciences, energy, technology, financial
services, and manufacturing, and his expertise in decision options,
Flexibility offers a holistic alternative approach for managing
risk and making the best decisions possible in these especially
uncertain times.
