Building Smarter Organizations
How to Lead Your Zombie Organization Back to Life
by Gordon Vala-Webb
Building Smarter Organizations is the antidote for your zombie organization.
To survive in our complex and ambiguous world, organizations need to be able to learn quickly, predict accurately and adapt effectively. But too many modern businesses rigidly maintain "standard operating procedures," have a command-and-control culture, and a siloed structure with people overwhelmed by email. The result is slow-moving, uncoordinated, zombie organizations, barely able to shuffle forward, full of disengaged employees.
Building Smarter Organizations utilizes the latest research in management theory and organizational culture to give you an actionable guide to rebooting your company. Smarter organizations have:
- An "open" mindset that fosters innovation and employee engagement
- Fast-flow communications with visual work management
- Accelerated, collaborative decision making
Don't keep stumbling and lurching around. You won't survive for long (and it's not much fun). Lead the change! Equip your organization to thrive.

Praise
Clever way of highlighting what all employees feel in a dysfunctional organization... aligning operating systems can be done to eliminate the walking dead. Well done, Gordon! Robert J. Ramsay
The author has effectively and concisely captured the ... well ... zombifcation of so many organizations. Readers will appreciate seeing themselves in the book even if they are not in a good position to implement solutions. Sometimes just knowing that your zombie problem is shared has therapeutic value. At the same time, the book does include numerous ways; both big and small; that organizations and the people within them become more dynamic and responsive. Amazon Customer
