"Why Management is Dispensable" - featuring Niels Pflaeging, Founder, BetaCodex Network

Business, markets, and society have changed, but the principles, the methods and concepts for structuring the work, organization design, leadership, and performance management haven’t, by and large. Functional and divisional structures, rigid sales quotas, fixed performance targets, allocations, individual employee assessments, so-called “pay for performance”, budgets, variance analysis, autocratic decision-making and micro-management from the top – these techniques from the industrial age are still widely established standards. But are they still adequate? And if not, how can we adapt our organizational models to the ever-changing environments of the information age and do things better?
