"In this book, you'll be taught how to assess both the level and the frequency of innovation in your organization and choose the structures that are most suitable for you at this time. You'll also be shown how to make a smooth transition from one Stability Structure to another when and if the need arises. By putting appropriate Structures in place, you'll have a system that automatically creates "shock absorbers" based on an in-depth understanding of how people react to change; maintains continuity across cycles to minimize disruption; encourages incremental innovation for people who can prepare in advance; creates safe places to fail; implements an early-warning system that recognizes disruption; trains experts who know how to pass on knowledge; and builds stability within teams."--Jacket.
