A Generative Organization…What is it?
A generative organization is designed and engineered to control its destiny and create the future. It accelerates the rate of learning on an organization-wide basis. Focus is on achieving optimum growth and competitive advantage. It thrives on innovation and planned change. It transforms and re-tools itself through alignment around high-leverage points. Projects, work tasks and organizational learning have a parallel path of importance.
