Redesigning Work Models

In today's rapid changing world we require new working models for organizations:

•  Make organizations flatter & remove structures aligned vertically. In today's world we need to provide responsibilities to people and track based on performance rather than be dependent on person's position in company.
• Remove Horizontals and Verticals rather deal as projects / accounts. Once we break up the horizontals and verticals we bring in lot of leverage to utilize resources at required places rather      than depend on resources to be available.
• Redesign work places from cube based places to life style related places. Facebook & google are already doing it. If a resource is more effective in a Garden or at home let him or her work that way, we require performance not regulatory rules.
• Let people choose their financial plans, for example certain employee might require more salary in a particular financial year rather than later, so why not put him in  a higher salary grade and reduce it when he thinks he can manage with less pay.
• Designations require serious revamp. We are building to many managers and leads in companies when sufficient work is not there. We need to look at market and see which kind of work is in demand. HR syllabuses in MBA colleges also need to be revamped to bring in this kind of revolutionary change.
• Award employees based on performance and ideas. For example a crucial employee in manufacturing industry should be awarded given good incentive so that he feels empowered more to improve companies’ performance further.
• Provide service to retail customers as we provide to enterprises. Customer service can’t be limited based on his ability to spend.
• Allow people to test products before they buy, just displaying in glassed and brightly lighted doors does not provide all required confidence and also testing avoids bad experience to customer after he or she has bought the product.

This post shares some of my thoughts I have in building modern organizations and moving away from stereo type organizations.
