In this groundbreaking book, organizational effectiveness experts
Edward Lawler and Christopher Worley show how organizations can be
‘built to change’ so they can last and succeed in
today’s global economy. Instead of striving to create a
highly reliable Swiss watch that consistently produces the same
behavior, they argue organizations need to be designed in ways that
stimulate and facilitate change. Built to Change focuses on
identifying practices and designs that organizations can adopt so
that they are able to change. As Lawler and Worley point out,
organizations that foster continuous change
* Are closely connected to their environments
* Reward experimentation
* Learn about new practices and technologies
* Commit to continuously improving performance
* Seek temporary competitive advantages
