Better Management for a Changing World DVDs - Ackoff
Viewers of these two DVD series learn why it is imperative to understand the organization as a complex social system in order to manage for continual improvement and how to deal with the chief obstacle to effective systems thinking—fear that is present in nearly all organizations.
In Volumes 1-4, Dr. Russell Ackoff, professor emeritus of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and leading developer of systems theory, examines the history of corporations as social systems and explains why traditional beliefs no longer work. He discusses the qualities of complex social systems that call for managers to lead employees to understand how their jobs fit in the system.

You will learn why traditional analytical thinking about organizational performance is not a sufficient guide for management.
