Look around you. Everything that is made has been designed, with one exception: we don't design the very organizations that make the things you see, hear, feel, touch and taste. This is a very curious omission.

Now all this is changing. Visionary organizations have started to do just that – they are designing their companies, with amazing results. One of the tools used to do this is made by the company that I work for, and is called Open Text ProVision®. It's a complete platform for designing and modeling any business. Just as a new design of a building or jet is modeled inside a wind tunnel and simulated on a computer, so you too can now re-design a business and understand and foresee many of the impacts those designs have before the changes ever see the light of day. We are very proud of what we have achieved.

This book's purpose is to enable you to explain the benefits and give you a road map of how you might implement a well designed business. The author draws on the experience of existing users around the world to help you get the very best from the tool, understand some of the challenges you might face, and how to overcome them.

I recommend this book to all current and intending users of the toolset.
