An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life, Johnson S., Blanchard K., 1998.
Why would you pay attention to innovation and development in times of prosperity? Using a pertinent parable the authors show how important it is to continue developing personally as well as professionally. Cheese, as a metaphor for what we want, can be appealing to cling on to. But what happens when that cheese is no longer there? Was the cheese taken, or should you have looked for another, new, cheese?Rhythmic and organizational dynamics
Four phases model with pretexts for organizational interventions to improve effectiveness, efficiency, flexibility and creativity, Hardjono T., 1995.
In my work, almost subconsciously, I often use the logic behind the Four Phases model. In this book Teun Hardjono describes four phases in development that every growing organization goes through. It provides a practical approach to examining knowledge management from the dynamics and development of organizations. It is also a touchstone for managers and advisors to check whether plans and advice are complete and contribute to an organization's growth.
