Stumbling across the obvious - Gruber Henrik
- The riddle of change in organizations

What are the keys to successfully implementing change in corporations? The answers are hiding in plain sight
We would all love to know how to deal with the problems that threaten to stall or destroy our business projects. When we encounter roadblocks, we often have the sense that they could have been anticipated. Are we too focused upon solving issues, instead of preventing them?
With candour, insight, and a touch of humour, Henrik Gruber shares real-life case studies with a focus on what does or doesn't work and highlights the issues, questions and pitfalls most commonly faced by companies today.
Co-author Alexander Birke provides further insight and suggests innovative and effective methods and solutions the reader can set in motion straight away. Contributing authors offer fresh perspectives based on their diverse areas of expertise, including organisational development, human resources, startups, and leadership coaching, and consultation.
This book lays a groundwork for rooting out the issues that lie in plain sight yet are so deeply embedded in company structures that we often fail to see them before it is too late. Henrik and Alex explain why these prized hierarchies are no longer working for us and propose approaches to start tearing down those structures and building new networks and modes of collaboration.
Drawing upon extensive industry experience and discussions with various experts, Stumbling Across the Obvious unpacks the riddle of change in organisations by examining what really makes them tick.
