Why The Drucker Forum’s ‘Next Management’ Entails Upending Our Thinking And Changing Our Mindsets
The Drucker Forum, as part of its five-year effort to develop “the next management,” gave us a progress report last week. The theme of its conference in Vienna in November will be: “managing for new levels of value creation and innovation” with a particular focus on “knowledge workers.”
Last week’s session provided insights into flaws of current management practices. Speakers noted the need to “change our mindsets,” “invert what we give priority to,” and “upend the way we think.”
The presentations warrant reflecting on the mindsets that the world’s most valuable and fastest growing firms in the U.S. and Europe are already pursuing.
