“When it comes to innovation a company’s legacy beliefs are a much bigger liability than its legacy costs or legacy IT systems.” – Professor Gary Hamel
In the lifetime of many of today’s senior business and IT leaders, almost every aspect of organizational life has changed. All, that is, except the deeply rooted orthodoxies upon which management goes about its business in support of the aims of the organization. The way we manage the business and its supporting functions is fast becoming the single biggest bottleneck to innovation and improved productivity, not the ability of employees.
Unprecedented times call for radically different thinking, not more of the same. Repeating the same management formulas yet doing them faster, quicker and cheaper is no longer enough to combat the complexity of operating in a highly networked, global economy. Interestingly, it was Oscar Wilde who said that insanity can be defined as “Doing more and more of one thing expecting something to be different”!
Technology and a new generation entering the workplace are examples of powerful forces which can afford new possibilities for greater organizational agility and increased returns on human capital. The current economic climate also presents the chance for business and IT leaders to rise to the challenge of thinking differently about how they respond to these complex issues.
During this web conference, the LEF Director of Programmes, Alan Matcham, will share with you insights into the concept of management innovation and how some organizations are responding to these complex challenges.
