More about the book

Niels´ white paper Organize for Complexity has been a hit with readers online for quite a while. Today, it counts more than 40.000 views on Slideshare. And that´s just the English language version: A few weeks after the French translation of the paper got published, it had already attracted some 6.000 views. There are further versions of the paper in Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese.

All of that made Niels think a lot about a proper way of publishing this material in his native tongue, German. And also, how to bring the book into the realm of more traditionally-minded folks, and the less internet-savvy. Finally (with a little help from his friends) he decided to turn Organize for Complexity into a full-fledge book, with around twice the content of the white papers. So prepare for some fresh and whopping concepts, and two largely new chapters on leadership and transformation.
