Gary Hamel: Reinventing the Technology of Human Accomplishment

Watch Gary Hamel, celebrated management thinker and author and co-founder of the Management Innovation eXchange (MIX), make the case for reinventing management for the 21st century. In this fast-paced, idea-packed, 15-minute video essay, Hamel paints a vivid picture of what it means to build organizations that are fundamentally fit for the future—and genuinely fit for human beings. It's time to radically rethink how we mobilize people and organize resources to productive ends. Here's how we start.

This video is an excerpt from the University of Phoenix Distinguished Guest Video Lecture Series.

The REAL question is "How do we get companies to listen and employ this point of view?" As far as I can see, not too many will be so accomodating in giving up their rigid heirachies and top-down authority.

There's a team of 21 people responsible for animation, if you watch the credits. I think he presented in front of a blank background and it has all been animated in post-production.

so true, evolution does not work in bigger organizations, gotta have those revolutionary guys who dare to try something else and not driven by official incentives but vision better future and honest care about people

Good speaker, interesting story and a very cool presentation. Why are my teachers not like this? He actually makes me want to study (used this video as a part of an exam I'm studying for).

I don't know if he used Keynote to make this presentation, but you could do this presentation in Keynote.

I disagree. I think that you might be basing your argument on experiences that you have on management that was invented 120 years ago. He is saying that as a manager you have the ability to incorporate these new cutting edge ideas into your management style and change what it means to manage a business. It will not happen over night and not every idea is golden but he is trying to encourage folks to not be afraid of trying or change.
