{"title":"Robert W Keidel","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"geometry-of-strategy-book-robert-w-keidel-9780415999250","title":"The Geometry of Strategy","description":"To excel in today’s exacting world, organizations need to combine strategic planning and strategic thinking. Strategic planning is a formal activity carried out periodically by top managers, but it is vulnerable to change. Strategic thinking is an informal activity that occurs intermittently throughout an organization, but it tends to be non-cumulative.  Keidel offers a framework for integrating strategic planning and strategic thinking that leverages the strengths of both. The key to his work is the application of simple geometric forms—especially, 2x2 grids and triangles—that help organizational leaders and strategists structure their thinking and planning.  Keidel introduces four strategic categories—persona (organizational identity), performance (what is measured), puzzle (dilemmas that are faced), and pattern (how to compete, grow, \u0026amp; organize). Each category matches a specific geometry of thinking—point, linear, angular, and triangular. The payoff? A novel way to develop strategy, as well as a set of conceptual lenses for \"reading\" any other organization’s strategy—or any strategic argument. Keidel’s work is illustrated with case studies from his own consulting practice and grounded in the theoretical literature underlying the various geometries of thinking.  This book will be a valuable resource for managerial and executive education in strategy, as well as a provocative reading for organizational strategy consultants and thoughtful practitioners.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50131182715153,"sku":"GOR013865616","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51816792949009,"sku":"CIN0415999251VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52103600439569,"sku":"CIN0415999251G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522069197073,"sku":"NLS9780415999250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53366369255697,"sku":"NIN9780415999250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415999251.jpg?v=1750740076"},{"product_id":"seeing-organizational-patterns-book-robert-w-keidel-9781881052654","title":"Seeing Organizational Patterns","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50327682613521,"sku":"CIN1881052656G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1881052656.jpg?v=1750931547"},{"product_id":"seeing-organizational-patterns-book-robert-w-keidel-9781587982590","title":"Seeing Organizational Patterns","description":"Robert Keidel explains that most organizational issues are a balance of three variables: individual autonomy, hierarchical control, and spontaneous cooperation. By learning to frame issues as trade-offs among these design variables, one can see underlying patterns that previously had not been visible - and thereby make more intelligent analyses, choices, and commitments than would otherwise be possible. Seeing Organizational Patterns converts organizational design into an art form of triangular patterns. Featuring vivid examples and consulting-based cases, this book offers a wealth of theoretical insights and practical lessons. Keidel provides a set of conceptual lenses that enables you to see organizations more clearly, systematically, and imaginatively than ever before.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392394891537,"sku":"CIN1587982595G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51293996876049,"sku":"NIN9781587982590","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52124790128913,"sku":"NLS9781587982590","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1587982595.jpg?v=1750863218"},{"product_id":"game-plans-book-robert-w-keidel-9781587982866","title":"Game Plans","description":"This fast paced book reveals in vivid terms the parallels between baseball, football, and basketball and different types of business organizations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51037469442321,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037472030993,"sku":"NIN9781587982866","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127094866193,"sku":"NLS9781587982866","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1587982862.jpg?v=1750719241"},{"product_id":"corporate-players-book-robert-w-keidel-9781587982583","title":"Corporate Players","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51037929373969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037932060945,"sku":"NIN9781587982583","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1587982587.jpg?v=1750991651"},{"product_id":"geometry-of-strategy-book-robert-w-keidel-9780415999243","title":"The Geometry of Strategy","description":"Keidels work offers a framework for integrating strategic planning and strategic thinking that takes advantage of the strengths of both.
