The Case For Becoming a Project-Based Org

Organizations aiming for greater agility should adopt a project-driven model, shifting from traditional operational mindsets. Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, CEO of Projects & Company, argues that this involves prioritizing strategic goals, assembling teams, and continuously evaluating progress. A cultural shift is needed to embrace risk and failure, alongside empowering employees. Companies should move from hierarchical structures to agile frameworks, and build internal transformation capabilities rather than relying on external consultants. Prioritization is key; leaders must focus on essential initiatives aligned with the company's purpose. Success stories, like Haier's profit tripling, demonstrate the financial and psychological benefits of engaged employees.
