Making the Matrix Work (2nd Edition): The Agile Remix
A decade on from its first publication, the book that inspires and enables people to succeed in complex organisations is now updated for Agile working.
How to work and manage others successfully in matrix organisations operating across regions and functions, with global teams, customers and supply chains.
Traditional management training prioritizes clarity, predictability and control. In a matrix we need to be able to balance this with the ability to tolerate ambiguity, manage uncertainty and decentralize control. Managers need an expanded toolkit to help them move from the hard to the soft, from the concrete to the ambiguous and back again depending on the situation. Making the Matrix Work helps you develop your matrix mindset and will show you how to establish and engage networks that do not depend on role, control or authority to get things done.
This 10-year anniversary edition has been extensively revised to cover Agile and digital working, for those working and managing in the fast paced new world of work, with autonomous teams, iterative working and non-hierarchical leadership.
It will includes new material on alignment and connecting across silos, and on autonomous teams as well as 3 major new chapters
Change and stability
Hierarchy
Networks
There are updates to terms and techniques throughout the book to reflect hybrid and post pandemic working considerations and the impact of digital transformation.
PLEASE When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Being a Learning and Development professional, Making the Matrix Work by Kevan Hall came as a recommended user's manual for contemporary tech corporations, specifically those in operation in 2023 and beyond. This guide served as a valuable tool in comprehending the substantial changes regarding managerial expectations and the increased level of proactivity anticipated from workers in these corporate environments.
