In this book David and Alex Bennet propose a new model for
organizations that enables them to react more quickly and fluidly
to today's fast-changing, dynamic business environment: the
Intelligent Complex Adaptive System (ICAS). ICAS is a new organic
model of the firm based on recent research in complexity and
neuroscience, and incorporating networking theory and knowledge
management, and turns the living system metaphor into a reality for
organizations. This book synthesizes new thinking about
organizational structure from the fields listed above into ICAS, a
new systems model for the successful organization of the future
designed to help leaders and managers of knowledge organizations
succeed in a non-linear, complex, fast-changing and turbulent
environment. Technology enables connectivity, and the ICAS model
takes advantage of that connectivity by fostering the development
of dynamic, effective and trusting relationships in a new
organizational structure. This book outlines the model in chapter
four, and then breaks down the model into its components in the
next two chapters. This is a benefit to readers since different
components of the model can be implemented at different times, so
the book can guide implementation of one or all of the components
as a manager sees fit. There are eight characteristics of the ICAS:
organizational intelligence, unity and shared purpose, optimum
complexity, selectivity, knowledge centricity, flow, permeable
boundaries, and multi-dimensionality.
