Description

A leader's guide to integrating tradition with transformation in Asia The first edition of The Future Fit Organisation- A Leader's Guide to Transformation was a best seller across multiple continents. This indicates that the leaders of today are still searching for answers. Searching for the way forward. Searching for guidance during times of uncertainty, disruption, rising societal expectations, consumer pressure and rapid technological advancements. Changes happen faster, bigger, stronger. Against the bustling backdrop of modern-day Asia, competition is rife but tradition oftens hold a death-grip on the status quo. This means making change happen within organisations in Asia can be frustratingly glacial. Driving and embedding change in complex organisations is no mean feat, and a cookie cutter templated way is a recipe for disaster. Yet books on this topic that adorn the business bookshelf are devoid of a 'glo-calised' (global yet local) approach which considers the often invisible forces such as ethnic culture, deep rooted tradition and national culture. Change and transformation literature and strategies are traditionally set against a Western backdrop. All too often, the words 'that won't work in Asia' are uttered, yet little to no effort is expended trying to ascertain a way that WILL work in Asia. The second edition of The Future Fit Organisation series dives deep into relevant research and grass-roots case studies from countries within the Asian continent and outlines how to tailor change management strategies so that they harmonise with the culture.
