Organisational change
This is a twine about organisational change. The starting point for this twine is the observation that there are many reasons why the present organisational structures of companies are not able to address the needs and the wishes of the stakeholders involved. Yet, it is also unclear what the better solution should be. So, this is essentially a quest for the new structure of future organisations.
Please note that this is a public twine where members can freely express their point of view or publish content that they think is relevant. Therefore, this does not necessarily represent Xpragma's opinion.
