Organisational change
Public
This is a twine about organisational change. The starting point for this twine is the observation that there are many reasons why the present organisational structures of companies are not able to address the needs and the wishes of the stakeholders involved. Yet, it is also unclear what the better solution should be. So, this is essentially a quest for the new structure of future organisations.
This is an open forum, but we would like to keep the discussion focused. Things that we are interested in include:
- Concepts of virtual or temporary organisations
- Why should change be a problem?
- Issues of intra-company relationships (workers versus management versus shareholders)
- How to safeguard knowledge within an organisation?
- How to handle contractual agreements in a dynamic environment involving multiple parties?
- How to define winning strategies in a multi-party context where conflicting interests exist?
- How to handle risk in an environment where you have limited control?
- How to benefit from diversity?
- How to stimulate innovation?

The M-Shaped Recovery - Umair Haque - HarvardBusiness.orgRehabilitation begins with the understanding that it's brain-dead to build an economy on Big Macs, SUVs, and McMansions. Why? They don't make others authentically, durably better off. In fact, their net economic effect is this: they simply transfer value from the poorest to the richest.
