It is tragic how many and how often organizations
operate inefficiently. It is only through competent and
motivated personnel that a company can ultimately achieve
a permanent competitive edge. But how can you take all the
varied viewpoints from individuals and teams and turn those
into intelligent changes -- changes that actually make a
difference?
In An Intelligent Organization Pentti
Sydanmaanlakka, former Director of Human Resources at Nokia,
examines how leaders can develop the ideal organization
for the future; one that is efficient, capable of learning
and sensitive to the well-being of its personnel all at
the same time. Combining learning and organizational health
with business performance is a major challenge -- one which
Nokia is famous for meeting.
An Intelligent Organization takes
a long-term view of competencies and employees. The transformation
toward an intelligent organization is not easy. It demands
a deep change in our ways of thinking. This book gives a
remarkable insight into the thought processes of a global
winner and provides an excellent guide to the ideal organization
of the future.
Pentti Sydanmaanlakka has a wide range
of experience in all areas of human resource management
in Europe, USA and Asia. From 1993, he worked as a Director
of Human Resources in Nokia Networks. In 2002 he started
his own consultancy, Pertec Consulting. He has also been
the Chairman of the Finnish Association of Human Resource
Management and has worked for Nixdorf Computer, Siemens
Nixdorf Information Systems, Kone Corporation and VIA Group.
