Title: The Self Managing Organization
Author(s): Ronald Purser and Steven Cabana. Publisher:Éditions The Free Press, 1998, 360 pages. To answer the question of how to foster the autonomy of operational teams, this book describes two tools that have proven their worth, i.e., the search conference and participative design. The first of these methods allows all employees to participate in developing corporate strategy, thus giving everyone more autonomy during implementation. The second method helps entrust organizational design to to the operational staff who will then be in charge of managing it once it is up and running. The author describes these two tools using concrete illustrations of companies that have successfully implemented them, such as Microsoft, Motorola, etc. Main subject [Empowerment] |
