Abstract

Traditional management has failed. To deal with a radically different marketplace and workplace, today the whole organization must be focused on creating a stream of additional value to customers through continuous innovation. This reinvention of management reflects in part an application of Agile/Scrum thinking to the whole organization.

Drawing on his award-winning book, The Leader's Guide to Radical Management (Jossey-Bass, 2010), Steve Denning shows how the reinvention of management involves five fundamental shifts in terms of the firm’s goal, the role of managers, the way work is coordinated, the shift from value to values and the shift in communications from command to conversation.

Speaker

He has written three bestselling books on management and leadership: The Leader's Guide to Radical Management: Re-inventing the Workplace for the 21st Century (Jossey-Bass, 2010), The Secret Language of Leadership (Jossey-Bass, 2007) and The Leader's Guide to Storytelling (Jossey-Bass, 2005). Radical Management was selected by 800-CE0-READ as one of the best five books on management in 2010. He now works with organizations in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia on leadership, innovation, business narrative and most recently, radical management. He issues a daily Forbes blog on leadership and management issues at http://blogs.forbes.com/stevedenning/  His article, "Rethinking The Organization" has been selected as the Outstanding Article of 2010 in the journal "Strategy & Leadership."
