“Oliver Sowa, einer der drei Geschäftsführer der Beutlhauser-Gruppe, beschreibt in dieser faszinierenden Episode mit Hosts Karen Eilers und Thomas Hubbuch, wie er mit seinem Team: - das Unternehmen von den Entscheidungswegen her hierarchisch auf den Kopf stellte, indem die Entscheidungskompetenz hin zur Fachkompetenz wanderte. - die institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen im Unternehmen so umbaute, dass horizontale Zusammenarbeit nah am Kunden möglich ist und De-Motivation bei den Menschen verhindert wird. - die Prozesse im Unternehmen mutig und überzeugt aufräumte und entrümpelte. Nicht nur der resultierende wirtschaftliche Erfolg ist für uns inspirierend, sondern auch das zugrundeliegende Menschenbild, welches Oliver Sowa in sympathischer, dynamischer und mitreißender Form erläutert und verkörpert. Vielen Dank dafür!

On this episode, we are joined by ⁠Simone Cicero (CEO, Boundaryless) and ⁠Emanuele Quintarelli⁠ (Partner and 3EO Micro Enterprise Lead, Boundaryless) to discuss how businesses can adopt a micro -enterprise model that allows them to innovate and adapt in this fast changing world. Our world is changing very fast but businesses are currently struggling to keep up mainly due to archaic organisational structures that are no longer able to serve us as well us they used to in the past. Today, companies that win do so by empowering small, agile teams that have the necessary autonomy to innovate and adapt as quickly as necessary to meet the fast-changing customer and consumer needs. Both Simone and Emanuele have vast experience designing and maintaining Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Enabling Organisations and provide several toolkits that help in the design of such organizational models. Their collaboration with Haier has allowed them to enhance access to the Rendanheyi model pioneered by the Chinese giant using Boundaryless’ open-source approach.
