A Radical Enterprise: Pioneering the Future of High Performance
The tomato sauce in your pantry. The raincoat in your closet. The smart TV hanging in your living room. What do all of these products have in common? There’s a good chance that they were created by organizations with no bureaucracies, no bosses, and no bullshit. Places where colleagues self-allocate into teams based on intrinsic motivation. Where individuals self-manage their commitments to each other without the coercion of managers. And where they launch new products and ventures on the market without the control of leaders.
These organizations represent a new, radically collaborative breed of corporation. Recently doubling in number, and already comprising 8% of corporations around the world, scientists and researchers have discovered that radically collaborative organizations are more competitive on practically every meaningful financial and organizational measure. They enjoy higher market share, higher innovation, and higher customer satisfaction than their traditional corporate competitors --- and they also enjoy higher engagement, loyalty, and motivation from their employees.
In this talk, technology thought leader and author of the upcoming book, A Radical Enterprise (coming February 2022 from IT Revolution) Matt K. Parker previews the counterintuitive principles and practices that radically collaborative organizations thrive on. By combining the latest insights from social science, sociology, and psychology, he illuminates four essential imperatives that all radically collaborative organizations must embrace in order to succeed: team autonomy, managerial devolution, deficiency gratification, and candid vulnerability.
The time is ripe for change. Millions of workers around the world are struggling with feelings of disaffection and increased needs for work/life balance amidst the pandemic. Discover the radical shift to partnership and equality and the economic superiority that follows with A Radical Enterprise --- before it’s too late.
