ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION
Breakthrough energy requires breakthrough organisation.
The average Fortune 500 company lasted 75 years in 1937, now they last less than 15 years. In Europe the average company lasts 12.5 years. The existing system of organisation is falling off a cliff.
We need to reverse some fundamental assumptions of organisation if we are to create effective entities that can work with nature and human nature – holistic organisations that work as systems, organisations that are effective, long term.
Some inspiring examples are available and these entities act very differently, combining an alchemical mixture of balance and innovation, both ofwhich are elusive qualities even for the best resourced entities but which are essentials of nature.
In this talk Mike will cover the defining features of a new model for energy organisations and how we can go about creating the super organisations of the future. How we can simplify management issues, avoid conflict, neutralise politics and the tyranny of ego, empower the people and support our planet.
Everything is connected…
