Why shape-shifting enterprises of the future will be built on story.
There's something in the air. A cluster bomb of world problems and a flat employment market are signals that there's a shift in the tectonic plates of enterprise.
The answer to this isn't "what we've done before + AI". It's a fundamental re-writing of how organisations are designed and deployed, and what they deliver.
Having spent over 30 years in change, Perry has synthesised, stood on the shoulders of giants and realised the answers are lying around. They come in the shape of the Polymorphic Organisation, and the good news for internal communication professionals is that they will be built on stories and data. Learn about what future shape-shifting is and what you can do now to make it happen where you ply your trade.
