| Abstract: | A new type of training programs is presented. Their methods may vary, but their goal is the same: to radically reshape or transform the participants' organizations. These programs can be grouped under the title of "organizational transformation" (OT). Most companies run on a hierarchical, military model, with managers giving orders and subordinates obeying them. According to OT consultants in the "transformed" world of management, firms are driven by a vision - not by a chain of command. People closest to the action have authority to make decisions based on a shared understanding of the company mission. Using illustrative examples it is shown that this type of environment stimulate motivation, innovation, and excellence. |
