Who are we? Inflexible hierarchical pyramid v.s network organization (Raymond E. Miles & Charles C. Snow)
Paradigm shift – Organisations (Dr F Luthans)
The new world of work • Work units change – from functional departments to process teams. • Jobs change – from single tasks to multi-dimensional work. • People’s roles change – from controlled to empowered. • Job preparations changes – from training and education to career planning. • Focus of compensation shifts – from job evaluation to competency and skill. • Organizational structure change – from hierarchical to flat. • Managers and Executives change – from supervisors and scorekeepers to leaders.
Strategic Renewal Plan • Strategic Intension • Goal • Strategic base • Task • Dimension • Structural starting-point • Action Plan • Social Dimension • Culture • Leadership
Conclusion • Library of yesterday still exists • Key question is not where we come from, but where we go to • You can’t cross a chasm in two jumps • 3YRDP offers the bridge – the junction where management and leadership minds meet
