Mini Book Reviews

Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership 4th Ed.   Lee G. Bolman and Terrence E, Deal.

Recommends viewing organisations through 4 frames or lenses: factory, family, jungle, and temple, to get a better understanding of how an organisation works and avoid being clueless about problems in the organisation.  ‘Reframing’ is about dismantling existing frames of mind about the organisation and rebuilding into a new frame.


Scenario-Driven Planning: Learning to Manage Strategic Uncertainty. Nicholas C. Georgantzas and William Acar. (1995).

Scenario-planning is a management tool against ‘dogmatism’ and ‘fads’. It enable articulation and validation of mental models about the future. The book is full of practical and diverse examples, plus a plethora of references to relevant literature.
