The management model in most organizations is out of step with our times. The model of the past is a hierarchical structure, with a bureaucracy that runs on conformity, control, standardization, and specialization. It was designed for large organizations to be efficient at scale, not to address the ways humans work best.

Come to this session armed with your questions. You’ll be able to submit questions directly to our panelists for a live Q&A session during the hour.

Date: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Time: 10:00 AM (PST) / 1:00 PM (EST) Duration: 60 minutes

Today’s social media technologies offer an alternative. It is now possible for organizations to be:

• Large but not bureaucratic
• Focused but not myopic
• Specialized but not balkanized
• Efficient but not inflexible
• Disciplined but not disempowering
• Fit for the future and for human beings

From a practical standpoint, organizations use the Internet’s DNA—its values of transparency, collaboration, meritocracy, and self-determination—to fundamentally transform management. Join the conversation as Gary Hamel shares insights in this free, interactive webcast on April 18.

You’ll walk away with the principles and tools of the Web that will make your company more adaptive, innovative, inspiring—and fit to embrace the opportunities of a fast-approaching future. After the event, you will receive a webcast report and regular updates on the best new ideas in management innovation from the Management Innovation eXchange.
