Moving beyond Hierarchies with Polar and Bubble organizations - E-book - ePub

In recent decades, companies have adopted outdated, rigid, bureaucratic organizational behaviors, characterized by an excess of procedures and control, despite an external world undergoing unprecedented change. In response, some companies have resorted to programs and consulting aimed at overcoming this organizational obsolescence, experimenting with "matrix" or "flat" reorganizations, Six Sigma interventions, "lean organization" initiatives, leadership development programs, and most recently, smart-working programs.
However, these efforts have rarely achieved real results, and after a while, the same companies often embark on new transformation processes, following the same rules as before and achieving similar outcomes. The main reason for these failures is that all these initiatives were and are designed and implemented using the same mindset they aim to combat. Hierarchical structures reinforce themselves through behaviors that the organization itself seeks to dismantle.
In an endless loop, programs follow one another, and with them, the failures.
