He asks, “What are the fundamental, make-or-break issues that will determine whether your organization thrives or dives in the years ahead?” The answer is found in five paramount issues: values, innovation, adaptability, passion, and ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eValues:\u003c\/b\u003e With trust in large organizations at an all time low, there is an urgent need to rebuild the ethical foundations of capitalism. What’s required is nothing less than a moral renaissance in business. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInnovation:\u003c\/b\u003e Innovation is the only defense against margin-crushing competition, and the only way to outgrow a dismal economy. In too many companies, innovation is still a buzzword, rather than the responsibility of every single individual. This must change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdaptability:\u003c\/b\u003e In a world of accelerating change, every company must build an \u003ci\u003eevolutionary advantage\u003c\/i\u003e. The forces of inertia must be vanquished. The ultimate prize: an organization that is as nimble as change itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePassion:\u003c\/b\u003e In business as in life, the difference between “insipid” and “inspired” is passion. With mediocrity fast becoming a competitive liability, success depends on finding new ways to rouse the human spirit at work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdeology:\u003c\/b\u003e Today, businesses need more than better practices; they need better principles. Bureaucracy and control have had their day. It’s time for a new ideology based on freedom and self-determination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Gary Hamel has crafted a challenging book that starts with values, celebrates innovation, and concludes by opening up the hierarchies of large companies to unleash the true human potential of the people who work there. This is a book to return to again and again as managers everywhere confront the challenges of orthodoxy, management lethargy, and overly-rigid company processes.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Henry Chesbrough,\u003c\/b\u003e author, \u003ci\u003eOpen Innovation\u003c\/i\u003e; professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eWhat Matters Now\u003c\/i\u003e lets you in on the five things that will transform your organization—or sink it.
