Reviews

Grounded in robust research, brought to life by compelling stories, Organizational Velocity is a practical guide to leading through today's uncertain times.--Scott D. Anthony, Innosight Senior Partner and author of Dual Transformation and Eat, Sleep, Innovate. If you have to limit your reading on impending disruption and how to shape your organization to see over the horizon, respond and thrive-- then add this book to the short list. It's rare to have an entertaining and educational book and Dr. Amling hits the mark. He's one of the very few that understands the double edged sword of culture and the role of the board in making sure it's positive and not life threatening.--Joseph H. Astrachan, PhD, Professor Emeritus at Kennesaw State University Organizational Velocity is a sweeping overview of what is needed to fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee in this world of rapid change. Without the wisdom contained in the book, you won't survive.--Richard D'Aveni, The Bakala Professor of Strategy, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and author of the Pan-Industrial Revolution
