SELF-MANAGING PROCESSES FOR INVENTING ORGANIZATION
By Max Elden
ABSTRACT
A practice model of organizational transformation is presented and illustrated by a case history. Self-management here goes beyond the team level to authorize and reward employees as co-creators of the organization. An invention culture is created to generate commitment to unreasonable aspirations. The key process is extra-rational, transcending the familiar rational and nonrational models of OD. As a result, breakdowns are viewed as opportunities for breakthroughs in re-invented the corporation.
