Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
In just the same way as DNA forms the basic building blocks of all living organisms in nature, business organizations are similarly built as unique combinations of four basic building blocks:
Taken together, these four components effectively act as the organization’s DNA in that they strongly influence the way each individual employee acts on a day-to-day basis. Whatever an organization achieves – or fails to achieve – is the combined result of the daily decisions made by the individuals. Thus, an organization’s DNA determines whether it will consistently deliver on expectations and commitments or whether it will fail to meet expectations.
Once you understand the key components of organizational DNA, you then have the key to generating improved performance in the future. Achieving more is a matter of making adjustments and enhancements in the way your organization makes decisions, shares information, motivates its people and structures itself. As simple as this may sound, getting everything just right is incredibly challenging and this is the reason why so few companies genuinely excel over an extended period of time.
“In our experience, most management teams do not fully appreciate the role the four building blocks of organizational DNA play in improving performance. Many leaders inherit organizational models, and lack the time or resources to develop a detailed perspective on how they really work. Any attempt to address a business weakness or strategic opportunity must explicitly address the underlying organizational reasons the current strategy is not working. The attempt cannot begin, as many traditional approaches do, with the conclusion the problem lies in the strategy itself, and immediately concentrate on refining the aspirations or vision for the company. That difference in starting point, coupled with the recognition that the task is difficult, represents an opportunity to create an enduring competitive advantage. The most resilient and successful organizations have discovered the devil is in the details of organization.”
