 In these tough economic times, many organisations in sectors such as healthcare, engineering or construction recognise that they need to break completely with their established ways of working. But how should they go about that with success? How can they make most of their own in-house creativity rather than rely on buying a solution from elsewhere? And what can we learn from professionals who have themselves taken the initiative to reshape their own way of working? These are some of the questions that I, Richard Hulty, will address in my inaugural lecture making new ways of organising out of old on the 26th of June.
