The complexity of today’s large organisations, businesses, and
social institutions defeats management approaches based on monolithic
thinking. Most industry and service organisations look at their
performance either from a single perspective – productivity,
quality, safety, etc. – or from different but separate perspectives
that reside in organisational silos. Quality is treated separately
from safety, which, again, is treated separately from productivity,
and so on. While siloed thinking may be convenient in the short term,
it fails to recognise that any specific perspective reveals only a
part of what goes on. Yet it is essential to have a unified view of
how an organisation functions effectively to manage changes and to
ensure the organisation excels in what it does. Synesis represents the
mutually dependent set of priorities, perspectives, and practices that
an organisation needs to carry out its activities as intended. It
shows how to overcome the fragmentation in foci, scope, and time that
characterises the dominant change management paradigms. This book is
consequently not about productivity or quality or safety or
reliability but about all of these together. It is about why it is
necessary to think of them as a whole. And it is about how this can be
done in practice.
