Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Your existing workforce is the key to growing your business – not your technology, your systems or any of your other assets. To generate some real growth, find new and better ways to tap the underutilized talents, know-how and skills of your people. The central theme of your corporate strategy should be to redesign your organization so you can better mobilize the mind power of the people who already work for your organization. Dissolve all the barriers which have traditionally stopped this from happening and you will unleash some vast sources of new wealth.
To design an organization that can better capture the commercial opportunities of the 21st century:
“We believe that opportunities to create better organizations have never been greater. At stake are the opportunities to increase profit per employee and to increase the number of employees who can work profitably together. For a large company, the value of doing so can literally be in the tens of billions of dollars of increased market value. We believe that most companies will find it exceptionally rewarding to invest in designing and building organizations that better fit the digital age. Such an investment will usually represent the highest returns, relative to the costs and risks, as compared to almost any alternative investment. This is because high returns can be earned without making significant new investments of labor or capital.”
– Lowell Bryan and Claudia Joyce

Summary of Mobilizing Minds (Lowell Bryan and Claudia Joyce)
1. Manage better
The most successful organizations of the 21st century will be better managed than their 20th century predecessors. They will remove complexity from their management structures by better distributing decision making authority. They will also combine best practices seamlessly to create a partnership at the top rather than a dictatorship. They will also be managed dynamically so they can seize upon emerging opportunities rather than statically or rigidly.
1. Build better business “backbones”
If you genuinely want enterprise-wide collaboration to occur, you first need to reduce unwanted complexity at the front lines of your business. At the present time, many organizations have an ambiguous management structure which lacks clear-cut directions about who is ultimately responsible for a decision to get made. If the management structure is too complex, it also becomes a hindrance to the organization taking action when new or novel commercial opportunities arise.
Thus, the 21st century organization requires a better business hierarchy. To build something better:
