Greetings Outthinkers,
It’s been an exciting week for us at Outthinker Networks, and we’re thrilled to share some major updates with our valued community:
1. HBR Article: Is Organizational Hierarchy Getting in the Way of Innovation?
Our year-long research study on the emergence of new decentralized organizational models has culminated in a new Harvard Business Review article: Is Organizational Hierarchy Getting in the Way of Innovation? This piece, coauthored by Outthinker Networks founder Kaihan Krippendorff and president Claudio Garcia, shares findings showing how companies embracing elements of decentralized organizational models are significantly outperforming their peers in attracting and retaining top talent and overall financial performance. The article examines the research, explores why and how these models are surfacing (and why now), and identifies the key characteristics of one of the most promising and successful models. Dig into the article to start thinking beyond the hierarchy.

The website converts research into practice with practical recommendations, multimedia resources, and a personalized report to start adapting your organizational design.
