Leveraging New Organizational Models to Thrive in Rapidly Changing Business Environments - Mayfair

Companies are operating and changing at an unprecedented pace to respond to rapidly changing and volatile customer environments. One of the strategies for maintaining flexibility amidst such volatility is to make the organization itself more flexible in how it identifies, staffs, and responds to needs, and to use technology to increase engagement. Organizations that are on the cutting edge of IT and digital work are managed in teams instead of strict hierarchies to drive speed, empowerment, and flexibility into their organizations.
