Organizations face major challenges in terms of innovation, customer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efocus, flexibility, productivity, and finding and retaining talent. Technical innovations in and of themselves can\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eonly address such challenges to a limited extent. Attention to culture and behaviour, in and of itself, also has its\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elimitations. Social innovation relates to the integral development and renewal of the organisation. Many organizations, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehowever, are based on persistent bureaucratic organizational principles that are outdated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew ways of organizing offer sustainable solutions for the limitations and dysfunctions that cling to traditionally\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estructured organizations. We are not under the illusion that a few quick fixes and quick wins will provide the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esolution to all of today's organizational problems. The first part of this book is therefore aimed at getting to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebottom of how organisations operate. Why do organisations function as they do under certain conditions? Why\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edo people behave the way they do under certain conditions? A fundamental understanding of the problems of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eorganizations is a prerequisite for sustainable solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn finding structural solutions to organizational problems, as discussed in the second part of this book, an organization's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estrategy serves as the main guide. The basic starting point for realizing organizational design is the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprimary process and its requirements. Moreover, in an integral organization, solutions are not fixed in advance;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe purpose is to find design solutions that are tailored to the particularities of each organization. In this context, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe deal with an integral design chain that provides support in establishing solutions for specific, real-life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esituations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a translation of the Dutch version of Het Nieuwe Organiseren, first published in 2010.
