The Innovator's Dilemma... The "Organization"...

"Unfortunately, some managers don't think as rigorously about whether their organizations have the capability to successfully execute jobs that may be given them. Frequently, they assume that if people working on a project individually have the requisite capabilities to get the job done well, then the organization in which they work will also have the same capability to succeed. This often is not the case. One could take two sets of identically capable people and put them to work in two different organizations, and what they accomplish would likely be significantly different. This is because organizations themselves, independent of the people and other resources in them, have capabilities. To succeed consistently, good managers need to be skilled not just in choosing, training, and motivating the right people for the right job, but in choosing, building, and preparing the right organization for the job as well."
