This book provides a set of integrated frameworks-capital, systems,
and objects-that transcend managerial or technology hype by
focusing on the long-term fundamentals that sustain organizational
success, and it contains cases from South East Asia to elaborate
this concept. Many organizations are currently addressing two
important transformational issues: ecological sustainability and
digitization. Sustainability is a goal, an end, and digitization is
a process, a means to achieve a goal. This book introduces a
flexible model that can be applied to current and future
organizational challenges, including sustainability and
digitization, because the fundamentals are constant. This book is
designed to serve two purposes for the readers: first, to present
three conceptual foundations for designing and operating
organizations (capital, systems, and objects (section 1)); and
second, to provide a reference source for implementing these ideas
in your organization (sections 2 and 3). The first section of the
book, chapters 1 through 7, sets forth the conceptual foundations.
The chapters mix concepts and practical examples to give a new way
of thinking about the setting in which one may work many days each
year. The second section provides details and associated examples
of every one of the thirty-six forms of capital conversion. It also
illustrates how the five foundational systems support capital
conversion in a variety of ways. Finally, the third section is
about measuring capital and systems. The book covers measurement of
all types of capital and systems performance and has been written
for current and future organizational leaders to change the game
and play it more effectively. The book will thus resonate with
students of organizational behaviour and leadership strategy,
organizational leaders, industry experts, and general readers.

designed to serve two purposes for the readers: first, to present
three conceptual foundations for designing and operating
organizations (capital, systems, and objects in Part I); and
second, to provide a reference source for implementing these ideas
in an organization (Parts II and III). The Part I of the book,
chapters 1 through 7, sets forth the conceptual foundations. The
chapters mix concepts and practical examples to give a new way of
thinking about the setting in which one may work many days each
year. The Part II provides details and associated examples of every
one of the thirty-six forms of capital conversion. It also
illustrates how the five foundational systems support capital
conversion in a variety of ways. Finally, the Part III is about
measuring capital and systems. The book will resonate with
practitioners and students of strategy, leadership, and
organizational design. It is critical reading for leaders, industry
experts, and general readers who want to understand how over
thousands of years the capital creation system has developed
today's world and will fashion its future.
The two great graces essential to a saint in this life, are faith
and repentance. These are the two wings by which he flies to
heaven. Faith and repentance preserve the spiritual life-as heat
and water preserve the physical life. The grace which I am going to
discuss is repentance. Thomas Watson was an English preacher and
author who obtained great fame preaching until the Restoration when
he was ejected as the vicar of St. Stephen's Walbrook for
noncomformity. Watson continued to exercise his ministry privately
and upon the Declaration of Indulgence in 1672 he obtained a
license to preach at the great hall in Crosby House.

Reader, how happy were it if, while others take up their time and
thoughts about secular things which perish in the using-you could
mind eternity and be guided by this Scripture-clue which leads you
to the Beatific Vision. If, after God has set life before you-you
indulge your sensual appetite and still court your lusts, how
inexcusable will be your neglect, and how inexpressible your misery
May the Lord grant that while you have an opportunity, and the wind
serves you, you may not lie idle at anchor, and when it is too late
begin to hoist up sails for Heaven. Oh now, Christian, let your
loins be girt, and your lamps burning, that when the Lord Jesus,
your blessed Bridegroom, shall knock, you may be ready to go in
with Him to the marriage-supper, which shall be the prayer of him
who is, Yours in all true affection and devotion, Thomas Watson
