Kraft Foods Turnaround

[JenVNLLC]

Kraft Foods transforms itself with the power of network thinking.

"Although value network models are not explicitly addressed in this
article, the visual depiction of the new structure is a high-level
value network model. Three key roles are defined (Corporate Core,
Business Units, and Shared Services) with very clear and specific
deliverables defined between the roles."

Michael has made the following statement:
  "So, I do not believe in productive self-management in the scale of
large enterprises."
Charles, eat you heart out!

Unfortunately, some people still don't get it, David. There are definitely very successful ways to accomplish that as exemplified by W.L. Gore & Associates.

 

In some people's minds the Industrial Age lives on!

Hi,

I moved the conversation back to the LinkedIn group for practitioners
here
http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?viewQuestionAndAnswers=&gid=153536&discussionID=7194680&goback=.anh_153536
which may have been a mistake!

However, Michael has made the following statement:
  "So, I do not believe in productive self-management in the scale of
large enterprises."
Charles, eat you heart out!

I've also raised the issue within role plays that irrespective of how
we view operational collaboration, in reality it depends upon micro
level interpersonal interaction ... the way individuals behave towards
each other...more the realm of behavioural psychology and economics.

Why not move across to LinkedIn from where the original thread grew
and throw in a few more observations?
A warm welcome awaits!

David
