Motivation and the organizations of the future (redux)

We think Dan Pink’s book Drive is really important, it summarizes thinking we’ve seen coming from many different directions and decades. He offers a prescription for what he calls Enterprise 3.0 – knowledge organizations of the 21st century. Very many of us already have these sorts of jobs, yet companies are slow to transform and instead rely on classical management techniques even though the science tells us it’s time for something different.

The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) sponsors the brilliant RSA animate. For those of you not yet exposed to illustration as a facilitation/communication technique, this should be an eye opener!

Dan Pink’s book is called Drive, The Suprising Truth About What Motivates Us – highly recommended!
