Abstract

This book consistently juxtaposes hierarchical organizations striving for stability on the one hand with agile, connected organizations on the other. From this, implications for an HR strategy were derived for various key topics within HR. This chapter now deals with the question of how a company can succeed in transforming from one, traditional world to another, more agile world. The presentation of a generally valid patent recipe is deliberately omitted because it does not exist. After the specific challenges of such a transformation have been described, basic principles and success factors are presented.
