Gary Hamel on the Future of Management

This video is also available at: http://www.managementexchange.com/vid...

The Management Innovation Exchange (MIX), an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century, has posted a thought-provoking presentation by MIX founder Gary Hamel. In this engaging 15-minute talk (part of a lecture in the University of Phoenix Distinguished Guest Video Lecture Series), Gary sketches the evolution of management from its invention in the early 1900s through its stagnation in the 60s and 70s to its current existential crisis -- a crisis he says demands a re-invention of the core concept itself. In his inimitable style, Gary provocatively and persuasively argues that only radical management innovation can save organizations from becoming extinct in today's world of constant change.

In his presentation, HCL Technologies is the only company Gary cites as an example of such organizational innovation and describes at some length how HCL embodies "the future" of management.

The HCL "ticket" system seems like a good idea, but what prevents the boss from firing you soon as you bring up a ticket that has to be resolved? sure, he will make sure that ticket is taken care of, but after that you have a target on your back.

Maybe i'd give a single shit about what that guy was saying if he took the time to edit his powerpoint. Two minutes of paying attention to detail and he would have caught that. I don't care about what that kind of lazy idiot has t say about management.

Semiconducter on the list twice... this is your comment? Gary confronts us on the feudal reality of current soul-crushing management practice and the demand for us to leap from the 'human-as-a-functional-unit-of­-work' model to recognising unique human beings as complex, courageous contributors of innovation and potential... and you nit pick? Sad.

Amazing way of thinking. I couldn't think of a better way to put it (what management was and how it has to change). But the question is, how do people change what has been implanted in our core of thinking towards management for the last decade?
