Agile and Transparent Organizational Structure
An Organizational Structure that behaves more like an entrepreneurial enterprise is the best of both worlds, including the depth of skills and resources of an enterprise combined with the high customer focus and flexibility of the entrepreneurial mindset.
Where the organization creates a trusting environment with open, honest, and respectful communication, an environment where everyone is safe to challenge the status quo. Cohesive teams that resist group think, with people who speak-up when they see potential problems and well before a bad situation gets out-of-hand, where employees learn from one another, identify critical issues, and recover quickly from mistakes.
The business simply gets the best out of the talent that they have and don’t let dysfunctional behavior get in the way. They empower ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
