Event Description

We are in the midst of a generational shift in how work is performed, where culture and process are driven by growth in information and knowledge work that mirrors the Industrial Revolution’s growth in energy availability and labour-based projects. The key to this shift in understanding how manifested power can constrain or unleash the culture in organizations. The traditional ‘power over’ approach must shift to one of ‘power with’ subordinates to provide what today’s employee needs to thrive. While PM and process have provided many effective tools to optimize projects, it is the addition of OD approaches that enable the organization to deliver value sustainably.
