How organisational structures are changing. Using the Japanese concept of Kaisen to motivate employees.

Turning organisations upside down

What does the future hold for our working lives? This album explores the ways in which organisations are changing; the breaking down of traditional hierarchical structures, the increasing emphasis on self-management, customer-orientated teams, the use of technology to enable more remote working and the blurring of boundaries between organisations, as they form partnerships with each other. It also asks how these changes will affect the way managers will work in the future. This material forms part of The Open University course B822 Creativity, innovation and change.
