Overcoming Bureaucracy - new forms of management

While agility and delegation are clearly the keys to organisational success in the era of innovation, some companies have invented interesting management system, minimising (or eliminating) top-down control and encouraging individuals or small teams to manage themselves.

Inspired by LBS professor Julian Birkinshaw’s article “New Ways Of Working: Getting Beyond Bureaucracy”*, we would like to hold a panel discussion event, inviting speakers from these unique organisations.
