In Organizational Survival in the New
World Alex and David Bennet combine their years of experience
to propose a new model of the firm that enables organizations
to react more quickly and fluidly to today's fast-changing,
dynamic business environment. The Intelligent Complex Adaptive
System (ICAS), based on research in complexity and neuroscience
-- and incorporating networking theory and knowledge management
-- turns the living system metaphor into a reality for organizations.
Organizational Survival in the New World
is filled with new ideas married to practical advice --
all embedded within a thorough description of the new organization
in terms of structure, culture, strategy, leadership, knowledge
workers and integrative competencies. The Bennets combine
theory and practice in a new vision of the organization
to empower leaders, managers and professionals who must
excel in the age of complexity.
Alex and David Bennet are co-founders
of the Mountain Quest Institute. Previously Alex was Co-chair
of the Federal Knowledge Management Working Group while
serving as Chief Knowledge Officer and Deputy Chief Information
Officer for Enterprise Integration for the Department of
the Navy. Extensive experience as a change agent and a passion
for learning propelled her on the ICAS journey. Previously
David was co-founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board for
a professional services firm in Northern Virginia. He combines
industry, government, and military experience to explore
the future of organizations.
