Why I wrote a textbook on organization design (video post)

by Nicolay Worren on April 17th, 2012

My book was finally launched last week (it can be found on Amazon’s UK site). It has been a long process since I first came up with the idea of writing a book about 9 years ago.

But I hope you agree that the long maturation time has led to a decent end result. My goal has been to write a book people that both business people and students (and their professors) will approve of – readers will surely let me know whether I have succeeded or not.

In this video I explain why I wrote the book and some key key features of it. You can view the detailed chapter structure here.

The video lasts for about 6 minutes.

Slidecast: Hitting the “sweet spot” between separation and integration in organization design

by Nicolay Worren on April 20th, 2011

If you are a leader contemplating re-designing your organization – ”To separate or integrate, that is the question”: Should units be divided or combined?

In the slidecast embedded below, I discuss how to approach this challenge. It includes a couple of examples from a series of interviews I did with leaders of oil services firms. Any comments would be welcome.

P.S. A slidecast is a presentation with audio, so make sure you have the speakers turned on if you want the narration.
