The right organization design is a competitive advantage as companies expand their reach into emerging markets and attempt to channel scarce resources away from yesterday's priorities into innovation and new growth opportunities.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading Organization Design\u003c\/i\u003e outlines a scalable, five-step process to help senior business leaders, supported by skilled human resources or OD professionals, make smart design decisions. While being careful to ensure that a company's organization design is not more complex than necessary, expert authors Greg Kesler and Amy Kates show how the ability to design and manage an organization that can execute complex strategies brings competitive advantage over firms whose management can only do one thing well. With insights from extensive consulting work around the world and their research on many large multinationals, the authors reveal how to generate and evaluate the right design options, how to set up governance and management processes to align power effectively in the matrix, and how to engage the right people in implementing difficult organization changes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting new frameworks, concepts, and tools that examine in depth how companies like Nike, Coca-Cola, P\u0026amp;G, Cisco, and others have tackled today's design challenges, \u003ci\u003eLeading Organization Design\u003c\/i\u003e provides new ways of thinking about design as well as a coherent way to organize existing knowledge about the field. It is an essential guide for business leaders who want to make better organization design decisions and for internal and external professionals who support them. \t   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLeading Organization Design\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Sheds light on the challenges of organization design in a complex enterprise and more importantly provides an insightful and practical roadmap for business decisions.\" —\u003cb\u003eRandy MacDonald\u003c\/b\u003e, SVP, human resources, IBM  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Designing organizations for performance can be a daunting task.
