Se libérer de l'entreprise libérée
Opening the company to every kind of energy release
Team empowerment and self-management have been a holy grail for nearly half a century, with the rise of quality circles and self-managed teams in industry. Many companies turned to the “liberated company” model, which offers concrete answers to this deep need.
Some companies succeeded in their transformation, even at scale: Michelin, Maif, Decathlon… Many also chose to turn back and abandon the transformation, while others saw negative results once the leader who had driven the liberation left. Why so many failures and reversals?
The pandemic also forced organizations to evolve, notably toward some principles close to liberation, such as team empowerment. Above all, it is an opportunity for an approach that reconciles this need for liberation with how companies actually work today: the path of the aligned company, connected to realities on the ground.
Six parts: what liberating companies is for; how to turn a company into a liberated company, and with which tools; the state of company liberation, its history, figures and reality; from the liberated company to the aligned company, performance, fulfillment and empowerment; autonomous, agile teams, the cornerstone of the aligned company; liberated or aligned company, which future. With an implementation guide.
The aligned company is the backbone of the TOTEM System: autonomous teams, one shared language at every level.
