OK - who has a business where the rate of change is NOT an issue?
That would be no-one yes? So the Prussian military model of command & control is fraying and no longer flexible enough? Important for steady state aspects of business process, but self serving and resistant to change.
Now we have two experts arguing over WHERE the flexible innovative management part should sit. External or matrix.
At the risk of being controversial (despite not having a book to sell) what if they are both wrong?
Maybe it's because of a background in technology & engineering - but good design, good engineering has done both for years.
Get the accountants out of the way and let good engineers back in. THEY know how to do creativity, problem solving - and discipline to deliver well.
It's not the org chart/model that's the problem, it's the leadership team that is running it.
Empty suits, career bureaucrats, bean counters & politicians. Never created or ran anything in their lives.
