Rethinking the Technology of Management
18 May 2009
The prevailing model of management is obsolete. It has become the performance bottleneck in most organizations.
Best practice is simply not good enough anymore, based on old-fashioned notions of hierarchy, bosses and subordinates, standardization and compliance, centralized planning and budgeting, specialization and job descriptions. It is high time we challenged these orthodoxies and experimented with radically new ways of inspiring talented people and organizing complex work. Using many examples of radically new management practices, Jules will ask whether IT is a catalyst or an impediment in this revolution.
