Reimagine the Organization—The Expressway to the Future

James M. Kerr

Chapter 10 in The Executive Checklist, 2014, pp 189-207 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most of today’s organizational designs are a derivative of the “command-and-control” reporting structure that was borrowed from the military by industry over a century ago. The model prevails to this day because it clearly delineates “who’s the boss.” While its strict definition of reporting lines and demarcation of decision-making responsibility provides clarity to the enterprise, it also serves to limit an organization’s strategic dexterity and speed of change.
