The level of complexity in most organizations today is
staggering-and it''s only getting worse. There are so many choices
to be made, people to involve, processes to manage, and facts to
analyze, it''s impossible to get things done. And in today''s
hypercompetitive world, that can be fatal.
Yet complexity doesn''t happen on its own. Managers unwittingly
create it, often through well-intended decisions. In Simply
Effective, Ron Ashkenas provides a playbook for regaining control,
focused on the four major causes of complexity:
-Constant changes in organizational structures
-Proliferation of products and services
-Evolution of business processes
-Time-wasting managerial behaviors
The author provides a diagnostic for identifying how these causes
of complexity are affecting your organization-and presents
practical tactics for combating each one.
Ashkenas also explains how to craft a strategy that will make
simplification an ongoing driver of your company''s success-no
matter where you work in your organization. Abundant examples from
companies like ConAgra Foods, GE, Cisco, Zurich Financial Services,
and Johnson Johnson illuminate his points.
A crucial resource in today''s overly complex age, Simply
Effective should be required reading for everyone on your
management team.
