“Innovation will be the driving force behind a new form of global, integrated company that will gradually replace the current multinational model.
To achieve this, it will be imperative to let go of the old (and still in force) control mechanisms and give employees autonomy in decision-making and action. All this because it is the necessary corollary to setting up organisations based on trust.
With a beautiful phrase: ‘lowering the company’s centre of gravity“.
These are the words of Sam Palmisano, Chairman of IBM, in this very interesting speech.
In any case, it’s a good introduction to the series of articles I was announcing here.
Thanks to Martin Roulleaux Dugage for bringing this article to my attention.
