The self-managed organisation focuses on value creation rather than hierarchies. Traditional department heads are replaced by roles with clear responsibilities, which are taken on by the teams themselves. The structure evolves flexibly – in response to the needs of the organisation and the market.
Network-based collaboration replaces rigid reporting lines. Teams form where they are needed, learn continuously and develop the organisation step by step. Anyone who identifies a problem can take action themselves, involve the relevant colleagues and implement solutions directly. Decisions are made where the knowledge lies – quickly, practically and without unnecessary detours.
