De-Centralising Control
Read and tell us what you think.....
Why de-centralise?
We believe that centralised structures are part of the old business paradigm and are a fundamental reason why businesses struggle. The command and control aspect of centralised structures simply does not appeal to the modern thinking individual. They do not like to be told what to do.
It reduces their freedom of expression and denies businesses the creative opportunities to grow and nourish.
Centralised structures tend to be hierarchal are based on the handing down of authority and restrict the sense of ownership and control which de-motivates the individual - thus few have any real buy-in to the wider organisational objectives.
Our policy therefore is to operate a largely de-centralised structure for our collaborative community. It is in keeping with our strongly-held conscious business principles which places the individual at the core of the business.
By de-centralising power individual operating units tend to adopt their own individual cultures but the underlying principles of operation and cause remain the same as the overall organisation e.g. AA which has no head office.
Consultants are intelligent individuals wanting control over their own destiny and yet have a desire to advance themselves and are usually willing to collaborate with others to gain more knowledge but there is no organised community to allow that to happen.
Tell us what you think.
Is the rationale correct?
What features or principles would benefit you as a consultant?
