Unplugging from the "Corporate Matrix" [COMING SOON]

Leaders in organisations work in a virtual reality - The Corporate Matrix.  In this virtual reality our organisations are standardised, controllable, predictable objects that we can move and change using tried and tested formula.  But what would happen if we were to unplug from the Corporate Matrix?  How would we experience our organisations as different?  What would we not be able to cope with?  And what new skills and resources would we find that would serve us well back in the Corporate Matrix?

This paper is a summation of the "Unplugging from the Corporate Matrix" talks I am giving during January and February and will be published on this site soon after.  Watch this space.
