One of the biggest challenges facing an RO consultant is to explain over 30 books and thousands of research articles to a client in the brief meeting time that consultants often have with their clients. Three experienced RO consultants, Maurice Dutrisac, Herb Koplowitz, and Ken Shepard decided to solve this problem and jointly wrote “Executive Guide to RO-based Organizational Design.” The article is a relatively short piece designed for the senior executive reader. After reading the article, the executive would be able to understand the overall system, its concepts, ways to implement it, and the benefits. They wrote this piece and have made it available for use worldwide with attribution.
