THE AGILE COMPANY
How to move the management model of a company from being unnecessarily centralistic and mechanistic to becoming more agile, flexible and adaptive, and to be more apt to cope with the challenges in today’s dynamic and competitive markets. How changes can be made in terms of 1/ long term customer orientation vs short-termish and one-eyed owner focus, 2/ adaptivity vs formalistic planning, 3/ trust in professional coworkers vs detaild instructions and daily scrutiny, and 4/ intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation as part of corporate leadership.
