This book puts into words what I've been trying to explain for years. Managers should read this book to become more data-driven; data-driven people should read it to understand the imperatives of management.
Stéphane Hamel, Digital Analytics Thought Leader, Immeria

Morrison's dashing and enthusiastic style persuasively makes the case for using good data analytics as the basis for successful organization design. He confidently leads the reader through the process bringing his own experiences as supporting examples of the value of data. It's not all numbers. He doesn't forget the politics and culture stuff at play contending that data helps in working with these aspects of complex organizational design. It's a book now on my 'recommend' list.

New organisational models are appearing all the time as we try to optimise the use of the most important of all our resources; our people. Bringing people data and analytics together with organisational design allows new levels of understanding to ensure the best outcome, aligned to the organisations strategy. This book provides great guidance and thinking on how to do this effectively.

This book nails it. Honest and practical, it shows you how to deeply analyse and design an organization - and implement it.
Nathan Adams- HR Director, Aviva

Data-driven Organization Design approaches the subject from the vantage point of Stratum IV, that level of managerial work often called general management where strategy is translated into practical operations, where various functional work processes like sales and manufacturing and customer service need to be balanced and integrated. This is the great strength of the book....I recommend Data-driven Organization Design to those seriously interested in the field.
Donald V. Fowke FCMC, Chairman, Global Organization Design Society

The book offers corporate HR specialists a number of useful perspectives and extensive practical advice....HR managers and professionals, managers and analysts in planning and process development functions as well as executives who would like to know more about how the HR function could be developed would benefit from reading this book.

The book is extremely practical and visual. This makes it easy to follow and apply the learnings to a work setting immediately. It also brings a lot of new approaches to traditional problems helping to think around many of the challenges people might face when doing an organisation design and handling organisational data. ...This book could change any function handling organisational data.
