The new book by Steve Denning’s “A leader’s guide to radical management”  is currently widely discussed in the US. Based on a more interdisciplinary approach than most management books, it reflects succes factors involving case studies and historical coherence rather on human communication than “organizing things”. The success of the purely rational and analytic way of thinking which was the main success setting for Western industrialization over almost two centuries, might become replaced by a more holistic approach that does not focus on the financial outcome in the first place but on “delighting the customer”. A related article by Denning was also recently published in the Forbes online magazine (http://blogs.forbes.com/stevedenning/2011/07/16/why-is-the-world-run-by-bean-counters/).
