Peter Harlamon’s new book, Right-Sizing Your Organization
In the age of exploding AI, are you right-sizing headcount, or smart-sizing your organization?
Across industries, we’re seeing the same tension:
- Pressure to cut costs and “do more with less.”
- A parallel need to retain, develop, and fully leverage your best people.
- Uncertainty about how AI should change your human resource allocation.
DPA Consultant Peter Harlamon draws on decades of global experience to show why command-and-control leadership and quick-fix management fads fail, and how to replace them with lasting change. With clear lessons and a step-by-step Smartsize Action Plan, this book guides managers and executives to cut costs, boost revenue, and create a culture of trust and innovation.
In Peter’s book, you will learn:
- Why most change management projects fail to deliver on their promise—and what you can do to achieve successful change outcomes.
- How empowering your employees to drive change will improve trust, morale, ownership, and organizational alignment.
- Why creating a benevolent and transparent workplace environment not only supports an employee growth mindset but also encourages ingenuity, divergent thinking, and critical problem-solving to outcompete your competition.
- Why you should embrace AI not only as a tool for streamlining your business, but as a tool to leverage your human capital’s contribution to work.
- Why stakeholder capitalism will improve your organization’s performance.
