THE 20 KEY COMPONENTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL SPEED Second of two parts Editor's note: If you missed Part 1, see Fast, Faster, Fastest: How Going Slow Simply Kills Organizations Once you accept the premise that speed is an essential characteristic in business, it is only logical to begin assessing which elements of an organization need to move significantly faster and precisely how fast each one needs to be. Organizations are complex, so they WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR BOSS IS COMPLETELY I’d just interviewed for a new HR job, and a friend asked how it went. “It was good,” I told her. “I really liked the hiring manager.

TRAINING DOESN’T WORK. SO WHAT DOES? So what happens is that smart, good people hire diversity consultants and training firms with good intentions. Then they see little to no change — or end up worse than they started — and conclude that diversity work in general (not just training) doesn’t work.
