 Simple and Pragmatic December 26, 2007

Jay Galbraith is a well-respected, research-based practitioner in the field of Organizational Design. Companies of all sizes and industries have been using the STAR model as a guide to thinking systemically when designing their organizations. I personally have been using this model as an internal OD consultant/practitioner over the last decade. This book's material continues to be very relevant and current for today's leaders. This book should serve as a basic foundation for any OD/HR professional or manager/leader desiring to create a vital, sustainable, reconfigurable, and dynamic organization. What the reader can expect is simplistic language and pragmatic tools and methods. This is a true workbook. If you are sifting through books and don't know where to start...start here!
