About this ebook

Until Copernicus, no one had ever considered that Earth might not be the center of the Universe... and then that paradigm fell. In this day and age, with the world spinning at dizzying speed, is there still anyone who thinks that a company can only be organized hierarchically, with departments and functional areas, like a perfect production machine? Another world is possible, and we must build it.

After meeting with more than a hundred CEOs, Alberto Delgado and Alfonso Ramos have identified the strengths and weaknesses of companies and their leaders in order to propose a new model: Blue Organizations. Executives told them that Taylorist control is obsolete and that a different type of leadership is much more effective.

The new companies will be characterized by eight key competencies, which will enable them to compete in a different, more decisive, and more successful way. These eight competencies are described in Blue Organizations: Leaders of the Digital Age, a book that details what these companies are like, how they act, and how your company can become one of them.
