This work offers a summary of the book "LEADING AT THE EDGE OF CHAOS: How To Create The Nimble Organization" by Daryl Conner.The nimbleness of any organisation is now a key element of any sustainable competitive advantage it may attempt to secure and defend.

Nimbleness is not just about flexibility or adaptation, Daryl Conner believes, it's all about execution.

A nimble organisation succeeds by implementing changes better and faster than any of its competitors - not just by recognising when a change is required.

Therefore, the status of nimbleness can never derived from historical successe, but is earned every time a change is needed.Daryl Conner has identified the characteristics of nimble organisations, and shares these with the reader, explaining how nimble companies plan and operate.

Nimble businesses, for example, attract and retain more competent employees.

They design and deliver more creative solutions to customers - often even before customers have requested these new products.

They make sure they well positioned to sell to the new companies which are entering the marketplace; they anticipate future needs and are in a position to fill their unstated requirements.Leaders of nimble businesses put a high degree of emphasis on execution - on doing what needs to be done better than anyone else.

Learn how to put that into practice by reading Leading at the Edge of Chaos.
