The Future of Management
March 10th, 2008 by binnur
Previously I wrote about Gary Hamel and Lowell Bryan’s comments on innovation and how it will impact management practices and organizational design.
Now you can visit HBS Working Knowledge to read and comment about how you see the future of management changing: Where Will Management Innovation Take Us?
It is no doubt that innovation and the drive to continuously innovate is changing the way work is done and where it is done, how groups are led and organized, and how creativity is encouraged and tapped. Technology is also playing a key role in facilitating this situation, whether it is through social networks, forums, virtual meetings, development environments or knowledge management tools.
However, perhaps the biggest challenge to the future of management will be big corporations and all their bureaucratic bloated supporting departments. As important as the management process itself is to innovation, the alignment of the supporting organizational structures, such as the HR department, is just as vital in order to succeed.
