Book excerpt: Albrecht, a noted management consultant, speaker, and author, draws on his experiences working with organizations around the world to define what organizational intelligence is and how it can be developed. Taking a critical look at organizations that have and have not achieved organizational intelligence, including Disney, Apple, Ford, and NASA, he defines seven components of organizational intelligence and uses them to analyze situations and identify the kinds of conditions necessary to nurture organizational intelligence. He also identifies 17 dysfunctional syndromes that keep companies from mobilizing their collective brain power. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
