Ch. 23. Summary: And Then There Was the ICAS -- App. The Evolution of the Organization
Abstract:
In this book David and Alex Bennet propose a new model for organizations that enables them to react more quickly and fluidly to today's fast-changing, dynamic business environment: the Intelligent Complex Adaptive System (ICAS). ICAS is a new organic model of the firm based on recent research in complexity and neuroscience, and incorporating networking theory and knowledge management, and turns the living system metaphor into a reality for organizations. This book synthesizes new thinking about organizational structure from the fields listed above into ICAS, a new systems model for the successful organization of the future designed to help leaders and managers of knowledge organizations succeed in a non-linear, complex, fast-changing and turbulent environment. Technology enables connectivity, and the ICAS model takes advantage of that connectivity by fostering the development of dynamic, effective and trusting relationships in a new organizational structure. This book outlines the model in chapter four, and then breaks down the model into its components in the next two chapters. This is a benefit to readers since different components of the model can be implemented at different times, so the book can guide implementation of one or all of the components as a manager sees fit. There are eight characteristics of the ICAS: organizational intelligence, unity and shared purpose, optimum complexity, selectivity, knowledge centricity, flow, permeable boundaries, and multi-dimensionality. * Clear portrait of the successful organization of the future using latest research in knowledge management and complexity theory * Shows concretely how to design an organization that can successfully respond to constant change and uncertainty. * Practical examples woven throughout the discussion
Abstract:
"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." "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."--Jacket
