Event Information

Benefits:

In autonomous work environments, people take responsibility within boundaries for their own performance, and for the results their team is achieving. In this environment, a small team can deliver extraordinary success, and the management structure can eventually be flattened considerably. But the intention to introduce an autonomous culture can quickly fail if the framework for managing the output of the teams has not been sufficiently developed. This event or mini programme prepares executives and managers to plan, organise, implement and manage a sustainable self-managed environment.
