Reseña del libro "Organizational Evolution: The Adaptability Playbook (en Inglés)"
In today's hyper-dynamic markets, organizational inertia is a silent killer. Businesses, like physical objects, prefer to remain in their current state, their structures, processes, and cultures resisting the very change needed for survival.
