Gain competitive advantage by taking a people-focused approach to organization development.
Companies spend time and effort developing their employees - their most important asset - but they often forget to consider the company structure, culture, environment and processes required to help the newly upskilled individuals thrive. The Human Workplace is a practical guide which shows how this can be achieved by taking a truly people-centric approach to organizational development.

Exploring how people-centred organizations behave and evolve, the book covers how to use design thinking to create optimal organizational structures, how to make a business a community, how to use communication to inform and empower people and how to use technology to allow employees to work more efficiently.

Packed with interviews and case studies from Microsoft, Schneider Electric, CGI, Universal, Lego, SAP, BBC Worldwide and other global companies that have benefited from a people-centred approach, The Human Workplace redefines our view of the organization, its relationship with people and how we interact with it. It is an essential guide for all HR and OD professionals seeking to get the right people in the right places doing the right things at the right time.

Andy Swann is the Founder/ CEO of My Amazing Team, where he works around the world on unique, innovative and impactful innovation projects for some of the planet's largest organizations and biggest brands.

"Andy Swann knows better than most that things just aren't that straightforward. Bringing his work at the coalface of organizational change with him, he leads us through the challenges, debunks the fads and offers practical and effective ways of not only coping with the challenges of the future but possibly even enjoying them."

"This book is pragmatic, relevant, current - it should be required reading for all leaders claiming "People are the most important thing to me" and selectively pointing at other companies saying "I want that one" without understanding the elements, i.e, people."
