David Hurst
ON, CANADA
Management and Organizational Change Expert
A speaker, writer and business practitioner with a unique niche in the management field, David Hurst presents highly innovative ideas from his ground-breaking book Crisis & Renewal: Meeting the Challenge of Organizational Change.
Using models and metaphors from anthropology, mathematics and biology, Hurst discusses the nature of management and organizations as he builds a radically different view of how successful organizations evolve and change. He tracks organizations from their conception and birth through their growth, decline and destruction as well as their possible renewal.
The implications for management are profound as Hurst demonstrates the rational model of action - which is taught in most business schools - is often either impossible to follow or destructive of creativity and commitment. Instead, he champions the idea of changing performance organizations back into learning organizations.
