The document discusses how organizations will become more agile and decentralized as complexity increases. It argues that formal hierarchical structures will give way to more networked and dynamic structures where people and teams have more freedom and responsibility. Key aspects of traditional bureaucracies like fixed targets, top-down management, and incentives will be replaced by a focus on results, leadership, transparency, and sharing. Organizations will move from mechanistic and efficiency-driven models to integrated, team-based structures that can adapt to complex environments.
