Zen and the Art of Organising Work, an Illustrated Guide (PDF)

It is my conviction that the workings of complex systems like organisations can only be understood at a fundamental level through the lens of systems science. And that the system perspective provides an integrating framework that not only provides insights but also helps decision makers to develop effective and robust solutions to a host of practical challenges.

This book is a synthesis of two decades of reading and research on the topic informed by many years of practical experience at the management coalface.

The book presents otherwise arcane and deep knowledge in a form that is easily accessible to very management practitoner through a series of short, simple 'lessons' each of which is supported by engaging hand drawn illustrations that illuminate the text.
