Organizations were built around principles that deify conformance, control, alignment, discipline and efficiency .
The principles that organizations have at their core are antithetical to innovation.

The management model that predominates in most organizations has its roots in the early 20th century.
At that time, management innovators were focused on the challenge of achieving efficiency at scale. Their solution was the bureaucratic organization, with its emphasis on standardization, specialization, hierarchy, conformance, and control.

Hierarchies are useful. They let us sort work into departments, product divisions, regions, and the like with expertise, time-tested procedures, and clear reporting relationships and accountability so that we can do what we know how to do with efficiency , predictability, and effectiveness.
Hierarchies are directed by familiar managerial processes for planning, budgeting, defining jobs, hiring and firing, and measuring results.

The successful organization of the future will have two organizational structures: 1. A hierarchy.2. A more teaming, egalitarian, and adaptive network.
Both are designed and purposive. While the hierarchyis as important as it has always been for optimizing work, the network is where big change happens. It allows a company to more easily spot big opportunities and then change itself to grab them.

The reason that innovation often seems to be so difficult for established companies is that they employ highly capable people and then set them to work within organizational structures whose processes and values weren’t designed for the task at hand.

Hewlett-Packard’s laser-printer division in Boise, Idaho, was hugely successful, enjoying high margins and a reputation for superior product quality. Unfortunately, its ink-jet project, which represented a disruptive innovation, languished inside the mainstream HP printer business. Although the processes for developing the two types of printers were basically the same, there was a difference in value s.
It was not until HP’s managers decided to transfer the unit to a separate division in Vancouver, British Columbia, with the goal of competing head-to-head with its own laser business, that the ink-jet business finally became successful.

Once the acquisition’s managers are forced to adopt the buyer’s way of doing business, its capabilities will disappear.
A better strategy is to let the [acquired] business stand alone and to infuse the parent’s resources into the acquired company’s processes and values . This approach truly constitutes the acquisition of new capabilities.

In any Web forum there are some individuals who command more respect and attention than others -and have more influence as a consequence.
Critically, though, these individuals haven’t been appointed by some superior authority. Instead, their clout reflects the freely given approbation of their peers.

Instead of organizing hierarchically and with different functions, organize cross functionally in project teams that change every 2 – 10 weeks.
For each project, a team member is selected as the lead who is responsible for delivering the project. This enables every person to experience leading a team throughout the year.
