About This Session What is it that makes certain organizations more successful? Organization design and its management has long been the fixation of leaders and scholars alike. Cracking the code to the perfect organizational ecosystem appears to be the dividing line between great success and mediocrity.

This instability demands new approaches and methods for the delivery of products, services and ideas. Organizations no longer have the luxury to operate under 19th and 20th century ideals.
